1/2" Locking hitch pin secures a 1-1/4" or 1-1/4" and 2" Swagman rack to your trailer hitch receiver. Threaded pin pulls the receiver bar tight to one side of the hitch to prevent movement during travel.
Locking anti rattle hitch pin was a replacement for a non-rattle hitch pin. Hitch pin holds our bike rack in place with very little movement when traveling.
Joe O - 01/27/2022Product works as advertised. To be perfectly honest, I called customer service to ask which product I needed since there are two sizes. The representative was kind and helpful but did not really know what I needed and it became very clear after asking me to measure my hitch, measure the diameter of my thread and other questions that I needed to go elsewhere to find an answer. I did. I went to Swagman directly and got an answer in 5 seconds. I did purchase from etrailer as they were the same price as Swagman and also etrailer had other parts in stock that Swagman did not.
Easy to find product on website. Delivered within a week. Love the locking hitch pin. It tightened up the rack and it no longer is wobbly. It’s also a great relief that it is locked and secure.
This is what you need if you have the F250 3.5 inch hitch. Works great for pinning the bike rack I have
Purchased 3 items from etrailer (Swagman-S64650, Hitch -24902, Anit-Rattle Lock -S64029)- Product review below etrailer review (both get similar star rating)
Decided to use etrailer based in their support videos and upfront information. For example: on some products I reviewed they provided (in the title info ) Class I or II. For other retailers you had to dig deep into description. Being a novice at the ratings it not only educated but prevented incorrect part ordering.
I will not hesitate to use etrailer based on the above and AFTER the purchase support
Nothing complicated/easy to use.
Upon initial check it does seem to reduce "wobble/rattle" of mounted Swagman-S64650 bike rack.
I'm totally new to trailering/hitches, and I learned a ton from this site. Hopefully this comment will help someone in a similar situation.
Anyway, two things attracted me to this product: anti-rattle and locking.
Anti-rattle apparently means it's a threaded bolt instead of a smooth pin. I think this is important for my application - a bike carrier, being driven long distance at highway speed then through areas with SUPER rough roads.
Be aware: Cylindrical locks are not highly secure. (google for "pen open kryptonite")
The pin is also *really* long, and that makes it vulnerable to cutting. (bolt cutters, hacksaw, whatever) But it's good enough for what I'm after - making sure someone needs to jump through at least a couple hoops to steal my bike while I am in the restroom or whatever.
Also - at least for my bike carrier, there is another pin that needs to be locked to provide security. A visit to my local auto parts store got me what I needed, but of course it's another key to keep track of and I .
A set like 2848DAT, but with an anti-rattle pin, would have been ideal for me.
In my picture, on the left you can see the product installed in a standard 1.25" bike rack (S64650) - and how far the pin sticks out. In the center of the picture you can see the second lock I needed.
2012 Juke while traveling 1500 miles the bikes stayed put. After going about 800 miles we needed to tighten all the bolts again. This stopped the bikes and rack from swaying back and forth. The bikes and rack did bounce somewhat but with all the tie downs and the hook that were provided they never left the rack. The rack was easy to put together. Bikes were very easy to lift on and off. We can also use the same rack with our truck with the attachment that came with it.
Works well. Bolts through Hitch receiver so you can snug it down to avoid rattling. Locking cap just spins around unless unlocked, so about impossible to remove.
Swagman L - 07/20/2018They say locks keep honest people out. I'm not even sure this could keep out a Sunday school teacher. First, the pin itself is machined from a regular old bolt (very soft steel) and not hardened at all. Second, this thing is about 2" wider than it needs to be, allowing someone with bolt cutters or a hacksaw to easily access the shank to make quick work out of it. This does not provide any more peace of mind to me over the standard anti-rattle pin with a threaded shank, since a thief would still need a wrench. As always though, prompt delivery from eTrailer.
I am very pleased with the Swagman XTC-2 platform bike rack. I can easily mount two bikes and there is plenty of room to clear the rear mounted spare tire on my 2009 Toyota Rav4. There is 6 1/2" of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear mounted spare tire cover on my vehicle. I can fully open my rear door when the bikes are not on the rack. I would order from this website again.
I love the customer service from etrailer. Donna in customer service did an outstanding job for me. At first I had ordered the wrong size locking bike hitch for my Swagman bike rack. She helped find me the right size, get it ordered and shipped, and give me instructions on how to process my return. I haven’t used the locking hitch yet but it fits and appears to be just what I needed. I would not hesitate to use etrailer again. Thank you.
A must have for certain Swagman bike ca rriers
We purchased everything we need to transport our bike;, hitch, bike rack, locking hitch pin, hitch cover. Everything shipped quickly and was of the highest quality. Since we are newbies to transporting bicycles, the product descriptions and ratings were incredibly helpful! We are using all products purchased and are more than satisfied with them, as well as the ease of purchasing from etrailer.
Paulette H - 05/28/2015The product works just fine. I have had it before but had to replace it after the key was lost. I am more impressed w/ etrailer. The manufacturer and other retailers listed this as "out of stock", but etrailer delivered it to me in just a few days. Well done.
Product works as advertised! Keeps my Swagman XTC-2 bike rack well secured to my trailer hitch. Four Stars!
I would have given it 5 out of 5 stars if it had come standard with the bike rack. I don't think this should be an extra cost item on a pricey bike rack like this one.
Ron L - 07/20/2015Received the bike rack shipment today and did a partial assembly, following the easy to understand instructions. Plan on completing the installation on the vehicle tomorrow.
We were concerned on possible missing parts as the package was badly damaged
- see pics - but all were there and we are very satisfied.

This works beautifully on my Swagman XTC-2 carrier, making it very stable with this locking hitch pin in place. Very pleased. Indeed, as noted on some of the other comments, the shaft is quite long and does extend a bit beyond the side of my 2" receiver when installed, making it conceivably subject to being hack-sawed off by a determined thief. My (rather simplistic) solution...stacking steel washers between the side of the receiver where the bolt exits, all the way to the locking barrel...it takes about 25 or so. Cheap but effective.
Purchased the bike carrier a year ago. While we are not avid hard-core bike riders, it is very nice to be able to take our bikes with us when we do go up in to the mountains or over to the beach for the weekend! This product fit our needs perfectly. We have it installed on a VW Tiguan and have had no issues with it.
I just got the swagman xtc-2 and I'm very optimistic about this product. It seems to be very well constructed. As for etrailer, I am very pleased with their service and level of communication. I will purchase from this company again.
Ordered the new lock, and it arrived in a few days. Easy to install and lock.
John J - 01/29/2022Good product. Seemed a little expensive.
Simple, good appearance, good material.
Replacing the threaded hitch pin with a locking threaded hitch pin was a no brainer in keeping our bikes and bike rack more secured from the bad guys. etrailer delivered the new pin in a timely manner and it works great.
Works perfect on my Swagman bike rack.
Adds peace of mind, knowing rack is secure, so an outing won’t be ruined by loss of property.
Hands down, the best products! Easy to install and now I’m ready to transport beach cruisers with ease!
