The Silent Hitch Pin from Let's Go Aero takes the rattle and play out of the connection between your trailer hitch and your ball mount or hitch accessory. The unique design features a sturdy steel block with an attached spring that sits inside the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory.
Place the block inside your ball mount or hitch accessory, and line up the hole in the block with the pin hole in your ball mount. Slide your ball mount into your hitch and insert the hitch pin. To activate the anti-rattle device, just twist the pin to tighten it down. Doing this will pull the accessory up against the wall of your hitch receiver, thus keeping the accessory from moving around inside your hitch. No more annoying clanking or vibrating.
The 90 degree lock goes on the end of the anti-rattle pin to provide security for your hitch-mounted accessories. It swivels for easy access in tight spaces. Two rubber-coated, stainless steel keys are included with the lock. A sturdy rubber dust cap comes attached to the barrel lock so that you can easily cover the lock cylinder, thus ensuring that no dirt or grime will get in to damage the lock.

Unfortunately I was not able to use the actual locking mechanism to antirattle due to the way my hitch was set up but I did use the pin with the locking cap and the sleeve that goes over the actual pin itself disintegrated within three months of use. Even though the locking cap had a rubber cover over the keyhole it still needs to be lubricated Several times in order for me to be able to continue using the lock because it would stick and not be able to open. Overall it was a poor quality and poor design in my opinion.
No more Rattle in my case. i keep one 5/8 key in my trunk to remove trailer hitch
I recently got a 2019 Tacoma SR5 and needed to purchase a locking pin for an adapter I purchased for my mtb rack that fits 1 1/4”. I first bought the standard size locking pin for this brand, the one that is about an inch shorter. It wasn’t long enough for my 2 inch receiver so I had to return it. I then re-purchased this XL version which is about an inch longer. This works perfectly as I can now fit the locking mechanism on the end of the pin. If you have a 2016+ Tacoma, then you need this locking pin to fit the receiver. Happy so far as I just tested it out today and had no wobble.
This product was bought to allow me to use my Reese Eclipse bike rack on my 2500 Dodge Ram truck. The truck came with the standard 2.5 hitch package and the original anti rattle pin only fits a standard 2 inch hitch. Now to wait for my next trip to try this lock and pin set up.
I have a CURT CL-3 hitch # 13650 and this hitch lock was the only one that fit. It needed the XL size. My hitch has 2 holes on the receiver. One on the left and one on the right side. The left side is a small hole with threads and the right side is a bigger hole and this lock fits. Easy to install and works well. Ships fast.
I have a set of Rock Tamer flaps that I attach to my 3500 GMC when towing our Vilano 5th wheel. The Tamers attach to the hitch and just like any hitch mounted item they are loose and move quite a bit when traveling. Etrailer sent out a marketing email about these anti-rattle hitch locks. I grabbed the one for the 2 1/2” channel and gave it a try. It came today, I put it on and it worked like a charm. Zero rattle. Zero movement. Well worth the minimal investment. I purchase a lot from etrailer and they are the best at what they do and their customer service is second-to-none.
I have had no problems with the hitch pin. The rubber cover has served its purpose well even in the winter time by keeping moisture out of the locking mechanism and keeping it from freezing. I have also pulled a unsullied trailer across country using this pin and it has performed its job well. It is also quick and easy to take on and off.
I purchased this anti-rattle locking hitch pin to quiet the rattling draw bar that I have my Rock Tamer mud flaps hanging on. I tow a fifth wheel trailer, so there is not enough weight on draw bar to keep it from rattling in the receiver. This pin is very easy to install and does the job perfectly. I purchased the 2" version 2 years ago for the cargo rack at the back of the trailer, and it still works like new. It can be difficult to find accessories for the 2-1/2" receiver, but etrailer.com always comes through for me.
This locking anti-rattle pin is the best! So great that I have bought three over several years. Will not rust, looks good though years of service. Highly recommend!
Works great to take the wobble out of my hitch mount bike rack.
At first I thought how is this going to work? But once I read the instructions, the product is she pretty ingenious. Went together very easy and works great.
So far, so good. The receiver lock was a little difficult to install, had a hard time getting it to thread initially, was rather frustrating, but after taking it out and putting it back in a couple of times, we were able to finally get it to tighten. Then we were unable to get the key out of the lock unless we loosened it about a half turn with a wrench - so looks like we will have to be sure we have the right size wrench in the toolbox if we ever need to take it off because when it is tightened securely, you can't get the key to come out of the lock. Other than that, it seems to work great, no rattle and the lock is definitely secure. The cap over the lock is a great feature too.
Jackie R - 04/12/2017Fair for light duty. Works when used to tow my boat or bike trailer. But when I put one on my tow hitch to tow my truck behind our motorhome it didn't last ill be trip. The threads locked up and it had to be cut off. Unfortunately I bought a few of these before I discovered how weak they are.
Mike L - 05/31/2018The product was packaged well, installed very easily and is of high quality.
Excellent product. No rattles.
Great product, I have put them on all my trucks. Rough ranch roads and bumpy highways will drive you nuts without a solid way to silence your hitch. I leave it on year round without issue.
Only just received it so can’t speak on longevity but fit perfectly and was exactly as described. Everything was machined/cast smooth. Love the fact that the way they anti rattle mechanism works it also provides additional security. Seems all the locks regardless of price can just be snapped off but this has to be snapped and unbolted requiring additional time to have your hitch stolen.
Fits my 2.5 inch receiver perfectly. It is easily installed and completely eliminates the wobble and noise in my bike rack. This anti-wobble device is for hollow tubes only.
Good quality product, works and fits like described.
Great and dependable trailer hitch! And it does stop all the rattling and noise! I am very happy with my product.
Lawrence - 03/09/2019I was unable to use the "anti-rattle" part because the Weighsafe hitch is completely solid, no way to insert the square block and spring piece to keep the hitch from rattling, a complete oversight on my part, however I still used it without the spring and block piece and it worked fine. It
Extra long Anti-rattle receiver lock for 2-1/2" receiver. Did not work as expected. This was made for a 2" receiver as the insert nut fits a 2" tube and not a 2-1/2 in tube. Cannot keep nut in place to locate pin because the nut is too small and the spring pressure is not enough to keep in place in a 2-1/2" tube. Disappointed at best.
This product functions as advertised and as expected. It locks securely. Due to the external configuration of my receiver, I must attach the lock and then tighten the locking nut. If tightened first, the through-bolt cants slightly inhibiting the lock from engaging properly. If done in the proper order, the lock remains locked and secure.
