by:

This was the recommended receiver lock for a 2" hitch. It fit the hole of the hitch on the trailer but was to large for the etrailer tire mount hitch hole, even though this was their recommended part. Also these locks are a little "wonky". The key actually turns an internal screw that screws into the lock cap. Difficult to undo and relies on the key to tighten or loosen. Sooner or later the key is going to break or bend and get stuck. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. There are better ones out there.



by:

Cool to follow up on your product. The multi-ball works as it should. I bought it since I didn't know if the trailer I would get would be 2" or 2 1/4. I tow a 4,000 # trailer/race car with it.

It's a heavy piece to carry around, but I feel that it will last a good many years. I did make a spacer to cram into the receiver, so the hitch doesn't rattle as much.
Otherwise it's great.

by:

Yes the trailer, ball hitch and battery you installed worked great. It has served us well and you did a great job.



by:

I have several of these locking pins that were all keyed alike. I lost one and the good folks at etrailer were able to send me a matching replacement. Now I don't have to distribute multiple keys to everyone. I've used a number of locking pins in the past and this is my favorite. No tiny flange that barely grips the pin that feels like you could pull it apart with your hands. You rotate the key several times and it screws the two parts together. A much better system



by:

The item was not long enough to go through my 2019 Toyota tundra receiver hitch. I’m having to return it after calling and getting a real nice help from Trevor to get a longer one sent to me and return this one for Credit.



by:

My second pair for a different hitch. No rattle and no issues for over 5000 miles. Love the option of keyed alike option for less keys. Highly recommend and excellent customer service and support!



by:

Have bought a second pair due to the quality of it. Have used it to travel half the country without any issues. During my second pair for another hitch, I incurred an issue in getting the correct one but the customer service was there each time to resolve the problem and in a timely manner!



by:

Too short to fit hitch even though website states it will fit 2 inch hitches.



by:

Most will never believe this, but i ordered this locking pin to use in conjunction with the other pin that is the exact same as this one. Except the 1st pin has been installed and in service since late 2009. I used it to hold a hitch in the receiver tube of my motorhome that coupled our hauler trailer to the motorhome. I recently decided we would start flat towing a car, instead of the hauler trailer with the expedition on it.
so i needed one more locking hitch pin to use with the tow bar rise/drop receiver adapter. When i removed the first pin, i expected it to be rusty and not unlockable. SURPRISE, a little wd 40 in the key hole to aid in key insertion and BAM she unlocked and was clean as a whistle.
it was a no brainer to order an exact duplicate for use now.

still works perfect



by:

Perfect product! It does exactly as described. And the folks at etrailer are always very helpful!



by:

Straight out of the box looks and feels great. Fits nice and snug inside the 2" Curt hitch receiver. Too early to comment on service life and durability under wet weather conditions but hope for good desired outcome.

No issues after a year of use and exposure to rain and frequent car wash treatments. Thanks for checking and you are welcome



by:

Great product and great service. Somehow this part was not received in the initial order. etrailer sent me an email checking up on the delivery (nice service) and I let them know what happened and after a few questions, they immediately sent me a replacement.

I am very impressed with their service! I highly recommend etrailer!!

Doesn't fit 2021 Tundra 2" receiver as it's too short and locking mechanism won't engage. However it does fit our 03 Tacoma so I'll keep it.

For the Toyota Tacoma with has a thicker 2 inch OEM receiver, I recommend part # e98881 which has a 3.62 inch span.

My husband is a proud Bluewater Vietnam Navy Veteran, celebrating his 50th year anniversary of coming home. My husband is retired & I decided to get a trailer hitchcover for his old truck, to compliment his combat veteran's license plate.
While searching for a unique, eye catching hitchcover, I came across etrailer.com. The cover I chose is eye catching, unique & a sturdy heavy plastic. It was easy to install & the lock, purchased with it, will keep it in place!
He loved the cover - and the price! PS: Still young at heart!



by:

I purchased this to replace a similar locking pin that had begun to show wear after 15 years of rigorous towing. I believe this pin is well made and will last another 15 years.



by:

this trailer lock fits a 2x2 hitch perfectly. I like the turn key style to prevent picking the lock. The cap that covers key lock fits snug. I just got it and like it. I hope it holds up well



by:

So far so good. Fit perfect, very little side to side movement.



by:

I wanted a Lock that was easy to use, and impossible to make a mistake that could leave it unlatched. After using it for a year, this lock does both, and was not expensive.
It is easy to use by actually turning the pin, and holding the key still, rather than trying to turn the key. And you know for sure it is properly latched because the lock end closes up to the side of the receiver



by:

Good products.



by:

I really like my trailer hitch lock. It is well made. It holds my Texas hitch cover in place. It fits perfectly.



by:

Everything worked out well. On time and fits perfect. Attach hitch setup and my new Ridgeline.
It comes with a 2" inch receiver and I have a full compliment of 1.25. stuff from my previous car. All from etrailer i must admit!
so I needed the 2-1.25 reducer, a good lock, and the 7-4 reducer for my goodies!
Thanks for the grest service

  • Availability of etrailer e68ZRCoupler Lock Kit With Yellow Slip-On Coupler Lock
    The etrailer # e68ZR is only available with the coupler lock in the silver finish, but you can get the locks separately as # e98895, # e98880 and # e98883 and choose the 'keyed alike' option. This would provide you with the same kit, but with a yellow slip-on coupler lock.

  • Parts Needed to Complete Towing Package on 2020 Land Rover Defender D110 with Factory Towing
    Unfortunately we do not have towing components like a hitch or wiring that have been confirmed to fit on the 2020 Land Rover Defender yet, but if your vehicle came with the towing package included you should already have a hitch and wiring present though. If you actually just need a ball mount and hitch ball that fit into the receiver, then it looks like the D110 comes with a 2" receiver. For that I recommend starting with something like the Curt # C45230, which can be used for trailers...

  • Extension For Swivel Trailer Application For Use With 5th Wheel Trailer
    It sounds like you are looking for a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791. Without knowing the length of extension needed, I have linked the page to all our 2 inch hitch extenders. You will want to note that using an extender will reduce the hitch's overall tongue weight capacity by 50%. You may also be interested in a locking pin like # e98880 to secure your investment. These pins can be keyed alike.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For Trailer With Loaded Tongue Weight Of 700 lbs
    For a loaded trailer tongue weight of 700 lbs, the 600 lbs Equal-i-zer system won't be adequate, it most likely will not break as it is designed to flex, but it won't distribute the weight correctly. I recommend you use the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET. This will give you a total tongue weight range of 600 to 1000 lbs. Total tongue weight includes the loaded tongue weight of the trailer as well as any cargo...

I took a look at your previous order and found that you purchased the 4-way wiring harness # C56331, which is a great start. To transport a camper with brakes you will need a 7-way, a brake controller, a ball mount and ball. A great kit for adapting your 4-way to a 7-way is the # ETBC7.

To secure this hitch cover in place you will need a hitch pin and clip # PC3 or a lock # e98880. If you need a hitch for your vehicle, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75992. I have linked a Help Article to this page to show you how to properly measure your hitch for size.

  • How To Prevent Trailer Hitch Pin Lock From Seizing
    I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98880. The main way you are going to be able to preserve it is to make sure you keep the dust cover, Replacement Dust Cover for Deadbolt Hitch Lock part # e98923 over the keyhole. In addition to keeping the key hole covered I would A) spray some penetrating grease down in the keyhole every couple of months and B) insert the key and turn the lock core back and forth every couple of months as well....

  • Ball Mount With 4-1/2 Inch Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
    For a ball mount with exactly a 4-1/2" rise you will need the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount # C45240. This ball mount has two hitch pin holes so you can use it with different lengths, either 9-1/4" or 12-1/4". It fits a 2" trailer hitch and has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity when used in the rise position. For a hitch ball you can use 2" Hitch Ball # 63845 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 63847, depending on the size of the ball your trailer's coupler accepts. You...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver With Hidden Crossbar For 1 1/4 Bike Rack On a 2016 Toyota Sienna
    I have another option but the 1 1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers for your 2016 Toyota Sienna do not have hidden crossbars. My recommendation is to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 which has a hidden crossbar but a 2x2 receiver. You can then use a trailer hitch adapter like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770 to convert the 2x2 receiver to a 1 1/4x1 1/4 so you can still use your Kuat Bike Rack.

  • Dual Receiver Hitch Adapter to Use Hitch Bike Rack and Tow Bar
    I suggest the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 which will fit your 2-inch hitch and provide the dual receiver opening you need to use your hitch bike rack along with your tow bar. This item carries a flat towing capacity of 10K and a tongue weight rating (TW) of 400-lbs. You can lock it to your RV hitch with pin lock # e98880. If you need more rise/drop instead use similar Roadmaster part # RM-077-4 which has 4-inches of rise/drop.
