Question:

I have a 2” receiver on my 2015 Yukon Denali. I own a Rocky Mounts Monorail 2 hitchmount rack. The manufacturer’s anti-rattle hitch pin comes with a minimal security lock. I want to replace the lock with an after-market lock. Will this lock replace my OEM pin and lock?

The best lock recommendation we'll be able to make for your RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10004 is going to be using the lock that comes with the rack plus a cable lock like the # e98891 which you can route through the safety chain loops of the hitch and through the wheels of the bike. This will give you an added layer of theft protection for the rack plus your bikes.

The hitch pin lock you mentioned would not work with the hitch pin of the RockyMounts bike rack.
