Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - BX8858
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (104 Customer Reviews)
This Blue Ox receiver lock has a pin diameter of 5/8" and locks your Blue Ox tow bar to a 2" x 2" receiver.by: Chris Lee06/16/2022
Wheel feels very solid and I received it quickly. I had it welded to 5/16" wall 2" X 2" steel tubing so I can insert it when necessary . I didn't want to weld it under the tow hitch itself because of already low clearance . When inserted into the tow hitch the wheel extends 3/4" lower than hitch. My truck is a 2022 Chevy single axel cutaway.
by: John 08/19/2022
Great build. Heavy duty locking mechanism. Have no doubts this lock will hold up over time. Marked down one star because it's a little short for the gen 2.5 Tundra's receiver hitch and required me to shave off some metal off the stock receiver to get it to fit.
by: Ann 09/22/2022
E trailer had locking hitch pins that I needed and keyed them the same Love not having to figure out what key goes with what pin. Everything was in stock and shipping was fast.
by: Anton11/26/2022
Have used it primarily with u-haul trailers. Sturdy, good locking, functional, would buy again.
by: Gary 05/24/2023
Great service and products as usual
by: Sally 07/14/2022
I have not used this lock yet, but I wanted to take this opportunity to commend etrailer for their unparalleled customer service. This is not my first order and it will certainly not be the last. I wish other companies were even half as attentive and efficient.
by: Scott03/12/2018
I recently bought several products from etrailer including a Curt 2” receiver hitch, Yakima bike rack, and a Blue Ox locking hitch pin. ettrailer was super easy to buy from. They definitely had the best prices and super quick shipping and their fit guide worked perfect when trying to get a product that will work with what I have. The Blue Ox locking hitch pin works great for securing your hitch. Fits perfect and is super easy to use. Would definitely recommend E-trailer to friends and family.

I like securing my expensive blue-ox from theft. Disappointed that the chrome so quickly rusted.
by: Paul 10/29/2022
Delivery was right on time! Thank you “etrailer” I will definitely be placing more orders with you.
by: Patrick 03/28/2023
Heavy Duty, great item!
by: Rod12/20/2014
Added a step down receiver to the receiver on the new motorhome and need to remove the tow bar when it is being stowed. I hate using the spring mounted bolts that are standard (hard on the fingers) and this works great. Be sure you know whether you need one that is 2" or 2 1/2". I measured and bought the 2" one.
by: David 05/30/2021
Did it's job well, unfortunately, when I upgraded to a 2.5inch receiver hitch the lock no longer fit
by: June 04/08/2021
Had the lock 1 year, still looks good and have had no problems with it. I actually have 2 and would definitely recommend this product and of course etrailer. Great products, prices,fast shipping and great customer service.
by: Richard 08/09/2021
Did a test fit, fit perfect lock ez on ez off will do the job.
by: Donald01/13/2021
The lock has started to rust and is hard to unlock with the key even though I have kept the rubber keyhole cover in place to protect it.
by: Excellent05/11/2017
Package arrived in good shape - just what I ordered. Installed easily & works great to tow car behind RV with bike rack in upper receiver spot. Arrived one day ahead of promised. Thanks
by: Linda 12/08/2019
Bought the Blue Ox tow bar also. Couldn't be happier.
by: Robert 10/22/2021
Strong and easy to lock, non intrusive with safety chains or electrical equipment
by: Richard02/14/2022
I just got around to installing my new lock. It fits good and I will feel better knowing that the tow bar will be safe.
by: Jimmy C.04/26/2016
Product as described. Use on pickup trailer hitch. Heavy duty.
by: Allan F03/14/2017
I've had this product(receiver Lock) for about a year now and it still works great. Easy to install and remove.
by: W.m.04/29/2018
I keep my Blue Ox on my hitch 24/7, I don't think anyone would even try to take it !
by: John05/31/2018
This product was good, but did not fit my hitch because I actually needed a inside length of 3 inch to 3 1/2 long to fit. This one was too short. However, not the fault of etrailer. Had to send back.
by: Multisportsw 06/23/2016
Received my order today and was surprised by the beefy size of the lock. The finish is very nice! This will definitely secure my solid stock Draw-Tite ball mount.
by: Steve J03/18/2019
So far, very happy with this product. Heavy, good barrel lock, & nice weather cap. Should serve it's purpose for several years.

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Lock
- What To Do if You Lose Blue Ox Hitch Lock KeysBest option is to write down the key number for the Blue Ox hitch lock part # BX8858 that you referenced when you get it. While we don't carry replacement keys for this kit if you contact Blue Ox directly they'd be able to set you up with replacement keys. Best option though is put one key on your normal key ring so that it's always with you and then store the extra somewhere where you won't lose it and then if ever needed you wouldn't be without a key.
view full answer... - Locking Hitch Pin for a Blue Ox Alpha Tow BarThe Blue Ox Alpha tow bar, # BX7380, and all hitch mounted tow bars fit in a 2 inch receiver. So you would need a 5/8 inch diameter lock such as # BX8858. A Class II accessory would have a 1-1/4 inch shank whereas Class III accessories have 2 inch shanks.
view full answer... - What Does the Span of a Locking Hitch Pin Refer ToThe span of a locking hitch pin like the Blue Ox # BX8858 means the amount of space that can fit between the two walls of the hitch receiver- so yes, basically the distance from the outside wall of one side of the receiver to the other. We have noticed that certain Toyota factory hitches have a thicker walls on their receivers that measure 2-7/8" instead of just under 2-3/4" so if you've got a Toyota truck with a factory receiver you would need to use a locking hitch pin like the # BX88212...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock for Blue Ox Tow Bar that's Keyed Alike to Base Plate Lock SetupBlue Ox makes a great hitch lock with the part number # BX8858 but another really great option is the Blue Ox Base Plate and Hitch Lock set part # BX88101 which comes with locks for the base plate to the tow bar as well as the tow bar to the hitch all using the same key.
view full answer... - Hitch Lock for Use in B&W Class V Hitch BWHDRH25602I am sorry but the part BWTS0049B is not a valid item number. The B&W 2-inch hitch receiver that fits your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty is part # BWHDRH25602. In this 2-inch hitch you can use the Blue Ox hitch lock # BX8858.
view full answer... - Is B&W Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Available With Two Locks In PackageThe Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # BX8858 is only available with one lock in a package. They do not have the Keyed-alike option. When ordering this lock you can change the quantity in your cart to add the second lock.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Pin For Tow Bar ApplicationThe hitch pin I recommend for a 2 inch receiver tow bar is 5/8 inch like # PC3. For a locking hitch pin to secure your tow bar to your motorhome, I recommend the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # BX8858. A 1/2 inch pin is not big enough.
view full answer... - Hitch Lock Recommendation for a 2015 Toyota TundraThe sidewalls of the Toyota Tundra hitches are a bit thicker than most trailer hitches so you would want to go with a longer hitch lock like the part # e98881. The usable span of this lock is 3-5/8 inches.
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Pin Lock For 2 Hitch On 2004 Toyota TundraIt sounds like you have hitch pin lock with a barrel style key like part # BX8858 unfortunately it is impossible to know which locking pin you have without at least knowing the lock cylinder number or the brand. If you could see the face of the lock cylinder there may be a key number on that and I can try to go off of that. If you are not able to find any information on the lock, then you would need to cut off the pin lock with a cut-off wheel or an angle grinder. You can replace it with...
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Toyota Factory Hitch on 2019 Toyota TacomaI've actually seen this before with another one of our customers and we found out that apparently the factory hitches that Toyota uses on their trucks and SUVs are a bit thicker than many of the aftermarket options. Instead of the # BX8858 you'll want to use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881. This locking hitch pin has the same 5/8" pin diameter, but is a bit longer with a 3-5/8" inside span that will fit your 2019 Toyota...
view full answer... - Does the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount Include Hitch PInThe B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10033B referenced in your question does not include a hitch pin. I recommend adding a locking hitch pin like the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX8858. This chrome receiver lock will work great to secure the ball mount to your hitch receiver while also helping to deter theft. The tube-style key lock resists picking and the weather-resistant plastic dust cap will keep the cylinder free from water and debris. 2 keyed-alike keys are included....
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Level Trailer Towing with 2014 Honda PilotIf you have a 2 inch receiver on your 2014 Honda Pilot, then I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10038B. This ball mount has a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and is adjustable up to 10-1/2 inches total to ensure the proper fit for your trailer. You can use the mount either in the drop position which is most likely what you need, or you can invert it and put it in the rise position. The really nice aspect of this mount is not only the precision height adjustment to...
view full answer... - Recommended Locks for B&W Stow and Go Ball Mount in HitchThe hitch lock I recommend for the B&W Stow and Go Ball Mount # BWTS10047B, you were looking at, is the # BX8858. Currently, there is no lock available that will replace the adjustable pins on the B&W ball mount. If your coupler is locked to the hitch ball it would take someone with this exact ball mount assembly to be able to steal your trailer so it would be highly unlikely. I have linked the above mentioned products to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Ford Escape with Factory HitchBased on your photo it appears your ball mount sticks out about 7 or 8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. This is not a very long measurement and is actually one of the shorter distances for ball mounts. If you want the cleaner look, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 3" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise - 7.5K - Black # BWTS10035B which will give you a measurement of 3-3/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the mounting block and will...

- Recommended B&W Tow & Stow Ball Mount with 7 Inch DropI do have a solution for you, however the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10037C referenced in your question will provide a drop of up to 5 inches. For a drop of 7 inches, I instead recommend the B&W # BWTS10040C. This will give you a rise of up to 7-1/2 inches or a drop of up to 7 inches and features the same chrome plating on the shank and hitch balls. It has a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds with the 2 inch ball and a 10,000 pound capacity with the 2-5/16 inch ball. I have attached...

They are the standard sizes to match the trailer couplers. The smallest is 1-7/8 inches and can tow up to 3,500 lbs. The middle size is 2 inch and can tow up to 7,500 lbs. The largest is the 2-5/16 inch diameter and can tow up to 10,000 lbs. With a ball mount like this, I recommend the hitch lock # BX8858 to secure it to your trailer hitch receiver

This adjustable ball mount has a stowable design that allows you to store the hitch ball and mount platform beneath the vehicle when not in use. It has a maximum rise of 5-1/2 inches and a maximum drop of 5 inches. It includes a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can take a look at. I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Hitch Pin to use with the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048CThe locking hitch pin that I recommend using with the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048C is the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX8858. This is a chrome hitch pin that will resist rust and corrosion plus it includes a cap for the open end to keep the cylinder clean from water and debris.
view full answer... - Recommended B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for 3/4 RiseThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10047C that you referenced is actually perfect for your application! The drop and rise measurements mentioned are for the max adjustments. Since there are adjustment holes that go all the way to the top of the shank you will be able to achieve the correct 3/4" rise for your application. It might not be able to get an exact 3/4" rise but it will be close enough for you to tow level. I do recommend adding the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX8858 to deter...

This is not only to ensure it continues to look nice but to provide excellent rust resistance. We have had no customer complaints on the product that I'm aware of regarding the finish holding up to the elements and regular use.

It has the tube key and the cover to keep dirt and grime out of the lock. Since you are obviously towing, you may also want to consider a coupler lock for your trailer. I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-318. This is the most universal fit lock and the most reliable I've found for deterring theft. It surrounds the coupler and has a tube...

This fit to the frame and not the bumper so it will not interfere. Since you already have the wiring harness, you will just need a ball mount to start towing with this hitch. For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 7.5K - Black # BWTS10038B. This will give you an adjustable hitch to tow...
view full answer... - Does Hitch Pin Lock Have a Normal UseThere is not necessarily a specific lifespan that can be counted on with hitch lock like your Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # BX8858. If it gets used heavily and a lot of stress on it then a lock can wear down quicker than those that are used somewhat sparingly, but less than a year old is not a lot of time for the issues you are having. There are hitch locks for a 2" hitch that have warranties, such as the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 and Bulldog Lifelong...
