Video Transcript for Draw-Tite Class III, IV and V Pin and Clip Review
Today, we'll be taking a look at the Pin And Clip for Class III, IV and V trailer hitch receivers, part number PC3. This 5/8ths pin and clip is going to fit 2" and 2-1/2" square receiver tubes. It's 5/8" long and has a pistol grip shape handle. That way, it can be easily installed and removed, and it won't slide all the way through. It's great for standard ball mounts or more complicated ones, like weight distribution chains. It's also great for cargo carriers and bike racks that don't have an anti-rattle bolt.
In fact, you can use it for any hitch-mounted accessories that require a 5/8ths hitch pin and clip. Now, let's go ahead and see what it looks like when it's going down the road. That's going to complete our look at the Pin And Clip for Class III, IV and V trailer hitch receivers, part number PC3.

Awesome service

This is actually the second one of these I've installed. I helped a friend put one on his 06 Outback and it was really easy. So when I needed one for my 05 Outback I knew where to buy one.
Super-simple installation and looks good too.

After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch.

We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.

No complaints. Works well.
by: Doug F.10/09/2017
Purchased with a Draw-Tite hitch that has the bracket welded to the cross member. No sweat to install onto hitch.
Remember to mount the bracket to the hitch before installing hitch. Also, the vertical tab with the slot must face the rear of the truck to accept the plug from the wiring harness.

Works for larger hitch. Thanks
by: Michael09/05/2018
Pulling the pin on my new Tacoma was a pain in the rear with the old pin from a 2005 Tacoma. The new truck has an extra lip welded on the receiver. So I got this one, out of the box I thought it was exactly what the old one was. Not so, just a bit longer so the pin slides right in ??
Thanks

The Oem hitches on the 2005 Toyota Tacomas have extra width around the receiver and will need a hitch pin that is made for a 3 inch hitch. I recommend Curt part # C21506 Hitch Pin and Clip. This hitch pin and clip is 4 13/16 inches long.

Worked perfect good quality
by: Janet R.06/23/2017
We got this so we could open our tailgate without having to unhitch the trailer. It works great! Product is good, service was fast... it made our trip to Alaska much happier (our dog needs the tailgate lowered so she can jump in and out for potty breaks). We still need to have the truck and trailer pretty much straight in line with each other... if there is too much angle left or right, we can't fully lower the tailgate. We drive a 2015 Ford F-150.

Extremely poor design. Do NOT purchase this junk! Go to a hardware store and get a real one. This pin has no hole for a cotter pin. The weak spring clip is unreliable at best. I would not take a chance on a clip design like this.

I do not use this pin. Instead, I use a pin with a cotter pin hole in it.

Purchased Hidden Hitch Class 3, 2" hitch for my 2007 Honda CRV along with wiring harness and ball mount. Not the handiest person in the world but after installing this hitch, my handy-ego has been inflated. The videos on the website are spot on and are a huge resource for installation. Support during the sale and after were much appreciated. This is one of my top five e-commerce experiences. Well done etrailer.com!
by: Pops09/08/2016
When you Google "customer service" etrailer has to be first in line! They care and they want it right!
In addition, my new hitch sleeve insert/cover is the highest quality I have seen. Talk about rock solid!
etrailer is the first place I am going to go for all of my trailer towing needs. Top of line people, outstanding products and very competitive pricing. I'm all in!

To Whom it May Concern:
I highly recommend etrailer.com com. I ordered a trailer hitch and bike rack by phone. The sales agent was professional, competent, helpful and friendly. The prices of the products are fair and the delivery was timely and arrived in good condition. It is rare to have a purchase experience of the level of high quality that I experienced with etrailer.com. I am highly recommending this company to others, based on my first experience with them, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again. 4 stars out of 4. Thank you. Jim B., Falmouth Maine.

Does it's function, but did not seem secure. It could be tampered with easily. Replace it with a locking pin.

The women staff are very good at helpingthe customers and following through all the way to your door step. I have ordered and installed many hitches from E-trailer and I have not been sorry yet.
I even had one wiring electronic kit fail and they were very fast gettiing me a new and better replacement at no cost to me.
Super if you need a hitch better get hitched to etrailer.com!

Great stuff and everything works fine. FYI you guys do a great job and your help videos really helped with me installing the hitch. God bless!

I am only rating this item poor because I don't really use it. I upgraded to a locking pin. I just did not feel safe with this pin. I use it as an emergency back up if I ever can't use the new locking pin.

Great product. It has been over a year and it is still in excellent condition and holding up well. Would order from etrailer againl Thanks Etrailer
by: Brent10/02/2019
Customer Support was excellent. Products fit as good as factory and a whole lot less expensive. Installed in a couple of hours with a little help from a friend. The hitch is pretty beefy and I needed a little help holding in place. Other than that everything bolted right up. Nice heavy duty bolts and thick wafer washers to insure it won’t come lose. The hardest part was cutting the plastic factory shielding underneath around the hitch. Great product.
by: John B.06/14/2017
etrailer is a very great company to deal with. The video's they supply step by step on how to put the hitch on your own vehicle are very helpful. Plus the video uses your own model vehicle & year model. The price was very fair. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a hitch.
by: Mack-Clauser08/19/2014
This is my second purchase from eTrailer.com. Their web site is easy to navigate and you are able to order what you need even if you don't know the first thing about trailer hitches. Their deliveries are always fast and accurate as well. Our next vehicle is just about ready for towing. Thanks eTrailer.
by: Mark11/05/2018
Ordering and delivery was great from etrailer, although the description of the hitch pin I purchase said it would fit a class 5 hicth and did, but no finger room to place key in and out of pin. I’m looking for something about a inch longer that makes key easier to remove and to install, I consider this pin not ideal for a class 5 hicth and have a better detail on website. I do have the perfect pin now, trying to find a couple more. Thanks, Mark W

Quality Products & Quality ServiceThis is my second time ordering from etrailer.com. I am so pleased with the selection, pricing, and customer service, that I will look here first before ordering products elsewhere.
I have not yet tested the process of adding the Thule ski carrier to my Thule bike rack (our snow melted but is forecasted to return this week); however, I foresee no issues. I love the Thule rack and the ski carrier appears to be of similar quality.
The hitch receiver cover was of even greater quality than expected, and a huge hit. As confirmed with etrailer.com customer service before ordering, the pin/clip were exactly what was needed to secure the cover.
The order shipped out earlier than expected and because it was close to the holidays, the shipping speed was upgraded at no cost. All in all, a terrific experience with etrailer.com.
I should close by saying that I do not regularly submit product/business reviews, but feel compelled to do this one because of the wonderful service and quality products. Happy holidays!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Hitch Pins and Clips

view full answer... - Hitch Pin for 2 Inch Receiver Tube with 4 Inch Usable Span The closest option we have for you is the Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver part # PC3 which has an l-shape, 5/8" diameter, and 4" usable span. We do not have an l-shaped hitch pin that is 5/8" diameter with an exact 3-3/8" usable span.
view full answer... - Replacement Pin And Clip For Class III, IV, And V Trailer Hitch ReceiversFor the Draw-Tite Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver # PC3, the manufacturer part number is PC3. It is a 5/8 inch diameter pin with the retainer clip. I don't know why it isn't on their website, but we get the part from the manufacturer that makes Draw-Tite, Reese, and Hidden Hitch brands.
view full answer... - Adapter Needed to Use Cargo Carrier for 2 Inch Hitch on 2014 Ford Focus w/ 1-1/4 Inch Class I HitchYes, you can use a hitch adapter like the 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch, # HTAD, in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11158, to allow you to use the cargo carrier/basket for the 2 inch hitch. In addition to the adapter you will need hitch pin and clip # PC2 and # PC3. You will just need to keep in mind that using an adapter like # HTAD reduces the capacity of a hitch by 50 percent so in this case you would have a reduced carrying capacity of 100 lbs. This carrying capacity will need to take into...
view full answer... - Class I to Class III Hitch Expander At Least 6 Inches Long on 2012 Ford Fusion HybridThe Hitch Adapter # HTAD is 9-1/2 inches from pin hole to the 2 inch opening. It will fit into Class I or Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver providing you with a 2 inch. It's not able to be used for towing but it will work to carry a bike rack, cargo carrier, or other accessory. You should know that using an adapter like the # HTAD will reduce your tongue weight by 50 percent. The hitch receivers we have available for your 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid are rated for 200 pounds of tongue weight....
view full answer... - What Size Hitch Pins Does the Brophy Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter HTAD UseThe Brophy Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # HTAD uses two different size hitch pins, part # PC2 which is 1/2" and part # PC3 which is 5/8". The 1/2" pin is used on the part that goes into the trailer hitch and the 5/8" pin is used on the part that the accessory gets installed in.
view full answer... - Availability of 1-1/4" to 2" Receiver AdapterWe do have trailer hitch adapters that allow you to use 2" accessories with a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. Out of our available selection I recommend using the Brophy # HTAD. You will need the pin # PC2 for the 1-1/4" end and pin # PC3 for the 2" end if you don't already have them. Please note that adapters will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50% so if you only have 200 lbs of tongue weight now, once you install the adapter that will be reduced to 100 lbs. If you...
view full answer... - Will The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD Include Hitch PinsThe Brophy Hitch Adapter, # HTAD, does not include the hitch pins. This adapter will use either a # PC3 pin for 2 inch receivers or # PC2 pin for 1-1/4 inch receivers.
view full answer... - Hitch Pin Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Wrangler with 2 inch Trailer HitchIf your trailer hitch opening measures 2 inch by 2 inch then you'd want a hitch pin that is 5/8 inch in diameter like the part # PC3. Or for a hitch lock that doubles as an anti rattle device you'd want the part # 63232.
view full answer... - Does Curt 13703 Trailer Hitch Have Enough Capacity to Pull Less Than 3,500 lbs?So long as the trailer you are towing is both under 3,500 lbs and you can ensure that the tongue weight that will be applied to Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 is less than 350 lbs then yes, it will work for you. I've added links to video reviews of this hitch for you to take a look at as well as a link to our selection of ball mounts and hitch balls so you can select the correct one for your needs.

To see how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount check out the help article I attached. Once you figure out how much rise/drop you would need you would want to check out the other link I attached that will take you to our page that has all of the ball mounts we offer.

view full answer... - Relocating a Spare Tire when Installing Trailer Hitch 75079The spare tire will still be functional in its original location. The instructions state to "loosen spare tire to allow movement front to rear" which will allow more room to install the hitch. Then you can tighten the spare up - may not be in exact same spot but still stored under vehicle and accessible when needed. Check the links below for accessories you may need after installing this hitch.
view full answer... - Replacement Pin for Older Draw-Tite Adjustable Ball MountIf your older Draw-Tite ball mount uses pin and clips like the Draw-Tite Adjustable Ball Mount # 6580, then you might be able to use their Pin and Clip # PC3. This pin has a 5/8 inch diameter and an overall length of 5-1/8 inches. I recommend measuring your existing pin to see if this is a match. If you find that the pins on your ball mount have different dimensions, please let me know and I will be happy to look into this further. Also, if you are able to find the model number of your...
view full answer... - Is Pin and Clip Needed With Stabilization Pin on 2017 Honda CR-V?No, you do not need a pin and clip such as # PC3 if you are using the Let's Go Aero Anti-Rattle Pin Lockset # 63232. The lockset will take the place of your pin and clip while also working as an anti-rattle device.

I am pleased to advise that my contact at Draw-Tite confirmed for me that their 2-inch hitch # 75940 will also fit the 2014 model year of the Q5. I have linked an installation video as well as the written installation instructions for this item. Drilling is not required for installation but the exhaust must be lowered and lower fascia removed temporarily. If your Q5 has...

It fits in a 2" receiver and uses a hitch ball with a 1" diameter shank; you will also need a pin and clip such as # PC3 with this ball mount. I've added a link to a video review of the mount for you to take a look at as well.

We offer a number of hitch pin and clips and hitch receiver locks that will work well for you to secure the cargo carrier. I recommend the Let's Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2 Inch Hitches # 63232. This hitch lock will work with the hollow shank in the Curt # C18153 carrier to function as an anti-rattle...
view full answer... - Where is Draw-Tite Hitch Pin Clip # 55515 MadeI spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite about hitch pin clip # 55515 and the country of origin is the United States. On actual pins like # PC3 the country of origin is China. If you have a specific hitch pin in mind, let me know the part number and I can determine its country or origin.
view full answer... - Hitch Pin for Cargo CarrierThough we do not carry that cargo carrier and I'm not certain what hitch you have on your Mercedes, if it is a standard Class III or above 2" hitch and your cargo carrier has a hollow shank you may be able to use the Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver # PC3. You will only need to confirm that your hitch and carrier are compatible with a pin that is 5/8" diameter and has a 4" usable length.
view full answer... - Do Hitch Pins & Anti-rattle Hitch Locks Have a Rated Weight CapacityHitch pins Like # PC3 and anti-rattle hitch locks such as # 63232 do not carry specific weight ratings. This is because they all have more than enough capacity to match that of the hitch in which they will be used.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Adapter to Expand Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2015 Dodge DartWe do offer various hitch adapters that can turn the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your 2015 Dodge Dart into a 2 inch opening. For example, the Brophy # HTAD will insert into the receiver opening and provide the larger 2 inch opening needed for a lot of hitch-mounted accessories. An important factor to keep in mind is that that the use of any hitch adapter will reduce its tongue weight capacity by 50%. For example, if your the trailer hitch on your Dodge Dart has a 200 pound weight capacity, this...
view full answer... - 2 Inch Adapter Recommendation for Draw-Tite Receiver # 24796For your vehicle and the hitch you referenced, I recommend the 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD. It will convert any 1-1/4 inch Class I or II receiver to a 2 inch receiver and has enough length for use with the brands you mentioned. A word of caution; using this adapter will cut your gross tongue weight capacity in half and this adapter cannot be used for towing or for using a snow plow.
