Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span

Clearance around the Tesla Model Y hitch receiver is tight but this anti-rattle hitch lock fit perfectly, even after torquing it to spec. The lock mechanism on the left comes very close to the 7-pin connector but it doesn’t touch and the lock rotates freely around the pin. Product appears to be of high quality.1605566

Severe design flaw.
The lock works fine, it installs easily, and it prevents rattling....but after almost a year I tried to remove this to switch to a different hitch. This turned into a 4-hour project. I had to cut the pin into pieces and drill it out of my truck to remove it.
Once the spring block is inside the hitch tube, this installs in three pieces: the main bolt, a sleeve, and the lock. The problem is that a small amount of corrosion between the bolt and the sleeve locked them together because they are a tight fit to begin with. Impact wrench, sledge hammer....nothing could separate these parts. You can see in my photo with the bolt cut apart how the sleeve and bolt have fused together.
I'm extremely unhappy I spent $40 on this, but thankfully it was just a wasted day in the driveway. This could be a real problem for someone using their truck for work or something important when they find out they need to spend hours on their hands and knees turning this one piece of garbage into 10,000 pieces of garbage to get it out.1678623

I have ordered and used this device before. What is disgraceful is the respect shown toward products shipped from etrailer. While the two devices/parts I ordered probably could have through a war zone without any damage, the fact is IF they are beaten out of the box while in shipping is not right. Add some appropriate packing. Grade F on your packaging.1284294

Work8ng perfectly

Works great with the 2‘ to 1.25” Reducer from etrailer along with my Thule T2 bike rack. This thing is much more heavy duty than the picture, well worth it.1464877

@DavidT We're happy to hear that!

I purchased this device as a way to reduce slack in the etrailer 1.25" adapter for my 2" receiver hitch & also for the locking capability since the adapter ships with just a standard pin & clip.

The device was easy to install in the adapter & works quite well. My issue was that since I use my receiver hitch for a bike rack, the internal nut prevented the tongue of the rack from being inserted far enough to snap the retainer pin in the adapter. I can, however, still use the locking device by simply removing the retaining nut from inside the adapter which allows me to fully install my bike rack.1366905

Worked well right up to the time I traded the vehicle it was used on.

This product removed all of the play along the X axis, so the cargo rack no longer moves left and right. There is still a little movement on the Y axis, up and down, but it is half what it was before. Plus that has more to do with the physics of my cargo basket than the locking device. This pin can't take all of the slop out on both the X and Y axis. I just made aa wood shim from treated lumber, drove it into the recover, and now with a shim in there it doesn't move in either direction. Highly recommend this hitch lock. This would be easier to install on a tow hitch than it was on my cargo basket because the basket itself blocked my access when I had to tighten it with a ratchet, but had I jacked the car up and set the rear end on jack stands that wouldn't have come into play as I would have been able to lay underneath it. This basket is only 5-6 inches off the ground, and I am well more than 5-6 inches wide.1525419

Works great. I've not heard a single noise coming from the hitch. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that the ridiculous 7" rise hitch I needed won't be disappearing any time soon.1666699

I can't speak to the durability yet, but it works exactly as advertised. I couldn't even tell I had a cargo carrier on the back of the vehicle as I drove.1360899

I have only made one trip with this hitch lock, but it worked great. It kept the cargo carrier rock solid and did not allow any shaking or wobbling. I just have to make sure I keep the appropriate wrench or socket in the vehicle for removal.

I’m kind of disappointed in the experience at the moment. When I first inquired about a drop hitch adapter, I stated that I needed literally 1/8-1/4” drop, in order to allow my rear doors to open. I was informed that Curt has a product with a range from 2”-6” drop. In my mind the 2” would be the one I’d order. Turns out I should have double checked the order. I was mistakenly sent the 4” drop receiver, and there’s apparently no way etrailer can overnight the correct (2” drop receiver) to me before I leave this Sunday on a trip. If I use the 4” drop until the 2” arrival, I won’t be able to return the 4”. The etrailer people are very pleasant to talk to but problem solving is very disappointing.1615737

I am unable to review this as it will not work with the Flint Hill Goods 30" x 50" Wheelchair Carrier w/ 60" Ramp - 2" Hitch. The carrier hitch tube has a tube inside that prevents installation.1568022

While this is a great anti rattle lock option, you are right that it would not work with part # FHG99ZR. The carrier does come with its own u bolt style anti rattle clamp. If you want a lock for it then I recommend part # e98881. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

I purchased this for use on my 2017 VW Alltrack with an Ecohitch 2 in receiver. I have a Thule T2 Classic bike rack with a 1-1/4 inch shank and didn't want to purchase the replacement shank. I instead purchased # HT02 to allow the receiver to accept the smaller 1-1/4 and # 63232 to stabilize the rack and stop the rattle.

The combination is perfect. # 63232 acts as both an anti-rattle device, as well as a hitch lock. Installation took 5 minutes and was super straightforward. Because the pin is threaded, be sure to use a torque wrench to not accidentally over-torque the pin and strip the threads or just tighten until the rattle stops. 435250

A year in and the the Lets Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock still does its job. The only issue that Ive run into is that I am unable to remove it from my hitch. The tubular metal sleeve that fits around the lock pin seems to have rusted itself locked. I havent been able to remove it and cannot remove my hitch rack as a result.

If your hitch is open at the back using some WD-40 and spraying down the hitch lock and anti-rattle device as best as you can, and let it sit and try again to remove the pin. You may need to use a hammer and persuade the pin, but try not to damage the bolt head portion. If the hammer does not work you might try using an impact wrench and a socket, or a socket and a cheater bar to try to get the treads to spin free. Worst case scenario you may need to use a cut off wheel and cut down the hitch pin and then using a drill bit drill out either side to see and try to remove the stinger. Just make sure that you do not use a drill bit larger than a 5/8 inch (diameter of your hitch pin) or any kind of torch that would damage your hitch.

There wasn’t enough room on my Curt hitch to use this quite pin to secure my RoadMaster spare tire carrier. I used the bolt pin that came with the carrier and will install a separate lock on it.
However this silent pin will do nicely on the cargo carrier I will install on the RoadMaster spare tire carrier hitch. 718274

We sold that RV in February to get a one with more storage however for more than 10,000 miles of bumping down the road the Curt hitch performed flawlessly.

This lock works great. Trailer hitch used to move some but after I installed this it doesn’t move at all. Great product.1617171

Excellent way to secure my 500# cargo carrier. I would highly recommend this....1685685

great works as advertised.

Will not use it till spring, hope it works like it should. Shipping was slow 3 days late.1694911

Excellent service.I had originally ordered different pin because I didn’t know about silent hitch pins yet. I call in they picked up right away. They were extremely helpful and cancelled my old order and put in a new order with this new pin. Shipped fast and arrived on time. The product fits and works as advertised. Thank you etrailer.1601908

I just installed this product on my hitch. I have not used the hitch as of yet. The product is well made and I don't see and problem with its use.1314777

This is a great product. I have no regrets in purchasing and using it

by: Sparky 06/27/2023

This does work. Incredibly rugged but quiet and no tongue rattle. I gave 4 stars because the round tubed washer is rusting. Other than that it is a great product.1610084

by: JR03/09/2023

Easy to use and switch between different tongue lengths that I use. Virtually eliminated any hitch rattle noise and the lock clicks on easily and the dirt cover on the key entry prevents any problems when it’s time to take off the hitch. Would recommend for anyone looking to eliminate rattle and add a little security to their hitch.1533451

Easy to assemble. Karen was very helpful in the ordering process. Thank you1583993

Heard about this pin and had to give it a try. Very happy I did! The quietest towing I have ever experienced. You can actually tow an empty trailer without the hitch banging around over every bump!1566796

by: Eric11/23/2023

The is a great lock. I like that it is right angle because I have a tight fit and can’t use a straight lock. Once tight it doesn’t rattle. Don’t follow instructions and tighten to the specified York otherwise you won’t not be able to get it off.1695593

by: Scott 12/22/2021

This is the best no rattle from the hitch and stays tight. I put about 700 miles on towing the race trailer with the sxs in it and no slap from the hitch when taking off or braking1229206
