Hitch Pin for a Thule Bike Rack to Fit a 2" Receiver

Updated 03/02/2021 | Published 02/25/2021

Question:

Is there a replacement for the Thule hitch pin that is longer than the one that comes with the 1 1/4 receiver bar? Im using the 2 inch adapter, but the Thule pin is not long enough to go all the way through my Toytota Tacoma 2 inch receiver. Thanks.

It sounds like you are needing a new hitch pin for your Thule accessory. I have just the thing for you.

It's the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Thule Bike Racks, part # SHP2083. This pin is designed to work with your threaded Thule bike rack (most Thule racks are threaded) and can be used with both 1-1/4" and 2" receivers.

In fact, you can see in the video I've linked to that this particular application is using the 2" adapter for the Thule bike rack, and the pin works great. As an added bonus, it has a lock to keep your bike rack safe.
