Question:
Can I still use a locking hitch pin with the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar #e55YV?
asked by: Brian T
Expert Reply:
Hey Brian, great question! Yes, and that's actually how most people use it. Theetrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e55YV removes movement between the receiver and the accessory, while a locking hitch pin secures everything to the vehicle. They work together, not against each other. If you're looking for a locking hitch pin to go with it, I recommend the stainless steel InfiniteRule Hitch Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # 34061072-D.
