Hey Jim! The only way you will have an anti-rattle hitch pin for a solid shank is if it is specifically designed for that accessory. The etrailer D-Shape Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin # e43JR you were looking at only works with our Benton bike racks and accessories that take a 5/8" D-shape pin.
Is this for your 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser? If you have a factory hitch on there it has that double walled design, so a standard 2" anti-rattle isn't going to work. You would need to use something like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 to make it around the wider outside of the receiver.
If you added an aftermarket hitch with a 2" receiver you can use the # RM-061 instead. If you would prefer an option that can remain installed all the time, our own etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV will work as well.

This anti-rattle hitch tightener is excellent at doing the job at hand. Have used the 2” model for years with excellent results and now with a larger receiver the 2-1/2” is in service. The 2-1/2” is more stout than the 2” unit and very capable of keeping your hitch system quiet. If not familiar with these tighteners know that they work best when pulling DOWN on the hitch rather than UP! They can certainly end up bent if you are tightening/lifting UP on your hitch insert (aka tongue weight of trailer) as opposed to snugging DOWN into draw bar.
