Question:

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 Big Horn Pickup and I want a locking hitch pin that works on a 2.5 x 2.5 inch receiver but also want a keyed-alike coupler pin for bumper mount travel trailer. I like the RH5-XL and it looks like that would work for the hitch portion but having difficulty locating a coupler pin that could pair with it. Does that product exist? Im not dead set on the RH5-XL but it appears to be a very good hitch pin.

Our etrailer.com Hitch Receiver Lock, part # e98881 is a great lock for your 2-1/2 inch receiver. This features a 5/8 inch diameter pin and has an overall length of 6-7/8 inches.

For a coupler lock I recommend our part # e98888. This lock has a 1/4 inch pin diameter and has a span of 3-3/8 inches.

Both of these locks have the covered key slot to help prevent corrosion and be keyed alike so you only have one key as long as you order them together.

We do not have a hitch pin lock for 2-1/2 inch receivers and coupler lock available as a set with the keyed-alike option.
