Never get on your hands and knees again to install an accessory in your hitch. This stop collar automatically aligns the hitch pin holes on your hitch and a 2" accessory. Once installed, it doesn't need to be adjusted.
Features:
This stop collar automatically aligns the hitch pin holes on a hitch-mounted accessory and your 2" hitch. It's perfect for bike racks, cargo carriers, ball mounts, tow bars, or any other 2" accessory and it can be split and placed on the shank to avoid any impediments. It installs quickly and, once installed, it doesn't need further adjustment. Installing your favorite accessory in a trailer hitch receiver has never been easier.
The collar automatically aligns the hitch pin holes on your favorite 2" accessory and a 2" trailer hitch receiver every time you install it. It prevents you from having to bend down or stick your finger into the hole to check for alignment. It also eases the burden of installing a heavy accessory, like a cargo carrier, that's hard to wiggle forward or back in small increments.
The stop collar easily installs on most 2" accessories and once installed, it doesn't have to be adjusted - set it and forget it. To install, just slide the collar onto the accessory's 2" shank, insert the shank into your hitch, align the pin holes, slide the collar up against your hitch, and tighten down both hand knobs. If there are any impediments simply unscrew the knobs, split the collar into 2 pieces, and put it back together past the point of impediment.

Excellent time saving device. My cargo carrier has become so popular with other members of the family that I find myself moving it to various vehicles and then back to my vehicle. I happens that the other receiver hitches match mine and I can easily insert the carrier tongue into the receiver and the pin lines up perfectly. That saves getting down on the ground to visualize the alignment. Worth every penny!
Captain S - 12/29/2022Simple, effective design with perfect function. Slip the collar around your hitch bar before inserting your hitch into the receiver. Pin your hitch. Butt the collar against the receiver and tighten. Thereafter, hitch-pin hole alignment is always perfect. Excellent value.
I use this device on my hitch receiver mounted bike rack, which I remove from the vehicle and put back on often. This works very nicely to line up the placement of the bike rack thus saving a lot of time and effort in getting the hitch pin bolt in place. I recommend this product.
Mark - 08/20/2022The alignment collar works well to align the holes in the tongue and receiver
The product is good and strong. It was purchased to go with the Curt 2 bike rack and hitch. So far the hitch connection is solid and this collar is not needed at this time for stability. I will use the collar in the future for pin alignment to aid in mounting the rack into the hitch.
Paul - 08/17/2022It’s the perfect mechanism for those trailer hitches that weigh as much as a railroad coupler. Put your hitch on with the pin inserted in the hole, set the hitch pin alignment collar on and you never have to push and pull that monster to get the pin aligned again. Just slide it on up to the collar and bingo your hitch pin aligned. Absolutely ingenious!
The etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar fits perfectly on my Saris bike rack. It’s going to save time and hassle when putting the bike rack on our Honda Pilot Elite
.Customer Service at etraier is the best!!!!
Does not fit my CURT 18153 cargo carrier. Will fit sideways, which still works. Too wide to work with my hitches.
Fit like a glove. Watched Install video and installed it within the hour by myself. Happy with the purchase.
I was not able to use the collar due to the design of my receiver. The receiver has a "balloon" near the end of the receiver which prohibits proper alignment of the collar
As far as I can tell the Trailer Hitch Receiver works great. The good part and drawback are the same thing. It is under the car and does not stick out. The nice thing is you can't even tell it is there if nothing is hitched to it. The bad thing is you have to sort of get under the car to attach the locking pin in. But so far that is not a problem and I love having the hitch.
While I have yet to install the collar, it looks exactly like what I need to align the hitch as it is a struggle to get the pin through the receiver without getting on my knees and using a screwdriver to line up the holes. This should do the trick!
The wing nut is too close to the receiver hitch so you can’t tighten it enough
The collar/clamp doesn’t hold its position on the bike rack
While the timeliness of delivery was spot on, the integrity of the package was dismal. The box arrived heavily damaged outside our front door. The package sat in front of our front door exposed to rain. From what I can tell, the manual appears missing, but the hitch appears intact with a few minor scratches. I held off on opening the box in the event I need to return it to you. Please advise.
Brooke M - 08/05/2022It was easy to install and works as expected.
Service from etrailer is top notched, have ordered from them multiple times and they will continue to be my go to source for this kind of thing.
was unable to use this on my bike rack because the 2" portion is inserted all the way into the trailer hitch
Bought this as a stocking stuffer for my husband. Best thing ever to make putting the hitch on incredibly simple! Now he doesn’t have to try to find the holes to align it as he attaches it. It’s always in the right spot. Highly recommend!
They work great. I’ve used them to align my boat, a utility trailer and the wheelchair carrier for my wife. Has improved the ride and gas mileage by making the combinations more aero Dynamic. I would purchase again and recommend them to others
Works well. Makes quick work of attaching my bike rack.
Super easy to install and super helpful in aligning the hitch pin to just the right spot every time for my bike rack and cargo carrier (I bought two ).
I haven't used it yet. A travel date is coming up and I will put it to the test. All products I've purchased from you have been great.
Easy to use & makes connecting a bike rack or cargo carrier easier as these can be awkward getting in the right place.
Very handy. Saves fumbling around with the hitch pin looking for the hole you can't see. One less hassle hitching up. I put one on each of my hitch inserts.
Yes it works..albeit what I originally bought it for it did not work on. ( hitch bike rack it was recommended for as an accessory) Use it instead for different hitch mounted item. If memory serves that collar prevents the bike rack from tightening up properly to the hitch. I had reached out to customer service when discovered whom verified that was correct and that suggested accessory should not have been shown with that rack. offered to take back…but I kept to use on Yakima hitch extender.
