Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 2500 with 2-1/2 inch Hitch

Question

Question:

I didnt see any QandA or reviews on 2015 Ram 2500 with Class V hitches. With a caliper, Im measuring a needed span on 3-1/8 in. with the lock closed. Will the 1469DAT work?? Some sites are saying the locks span is only 3.

Expert Reply:

The span or usable portion of the Masterlock Hitch Lock part # 1469DAT that you referenced is 3-1/4 inches. If you need only 3-1/8 inches this lock would work well for you.

Check out the review video I attached as well.
