Will Bolt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Interfere with Safety Chain Loops on Toyota Tundra

Question

Question:

Would you happen to have any pictures of this installed on 2007+ Tundra? Seems like the size of the lock would interfere with the trailer chains.

I went through our reviews and wasn't able to find any Tundra owners that experienced an issue with the Bolt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BL7023584 interfering with the safety chain loops on the factory hitch, which is what I assume you're referring to. In fact, they say that overall it works really well, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a picture of it installed on a Tundra.

I've attached snips of a couple of reviews for you, but feel free to send me a picture of your hitch with the safety chains installed so I can better determine its compatibility with the # BL7023584.
