Straight out of the box looks and feels great. Fits nice and snug inside the 2" Curt hitch receiver. Too early to comment on service life and durability under wet weather conditions but hope for good desired outcome.
by: Tim 06/26/2023
I wanted a Lock that was easy to use, and impossible to make a mistake that could leave it unlatched. After using it for a year, this lock does both, and was not expensive.
It is easy to use by actually turning the pin, and holding the key still, rather than trying to turn the key. And you know for sure it is properly latched because the lock end closes up to the side of the receiver

I purchased this to replace a similar locking pin that had begun to show wear after 15 years of rigorous towing. I believe this pin is well made and will last another 15 years.
by: Hertha07/10/2023
this trailer lock fits a 2x2 hitch perfectly. I like the turn key style to prevent picking the lock. The cap that covers key lock fits snug. I just got it and like it. I hope it holds up well
by: Robert03/25/2019
Most will never believe this, but i ordered this locking pin to use in conjunction with the other pin that is the exact same as this one. Except the 1st pin has been installed and in service since late 2009. I used it to hold a hitch in the receiver tube of my motorhome that coupled our hauler trailer to the motorhome. I recently decided we would start flat towing a car, instead of the hauler trailer with the expedition on it.
so i needed one more locking hitch pin to use with the tow bar rise/drop receiver adapter. When i removed the first pin, i expected it to be rusty and not unlockable. SURPRISE, a little wd 40 in the key hole to aid in key insertion and BAM she unlocked and was clean as a whistle.
it was a no brainer to order an exact duplicate for use now.

still works perfect
by: Larry05/23/2023
The first time I used this it came apart and fell out of the hitch receiver. I had locked it and tested it but after 200 miles or so, it had come apart and fell out. I am very lucky that my trailer did not go flying down the road, it was close to coming off of the car though. So glad that I checked it at a gas stop.
by: Rodney06/13/2022
Doesn't fit 2021 Tundra 2" receiver as it's too short and locking mechanism won't engage. However it does fit our 03 Tacoma so I'll keep it.

For the Toyota Tacoma with has a thicker 2 inch OEM receiver, I recommend part # e98881 which has a 3.62 inch span.
by: Chuck 05/05/2023
Well, the pin looks great. It appears to be just as advertised, however. I ran into a problem in that I had ordered two pins to be keyed alike, but they are not. Stuff like that could happen anywhere. I got on the phone with etrailer and they are sending me a replacement. In my view, that is the mark of a great vendor to work with.

Well not quite a year, actually only a few days. A correctly keyed pin arrived today, I now have two pins that work with the same key. They work great with my Gen-Y hitch. As I anticipated in my prior review, etrailer promptly made things right. Getting both pins keyed the same is convenient. Between bike racks, tonneau cover, camper, racks, and one or two extras, I have a bunch of keys. Every key I can eliminate is a win.
by: Rich11/11/2022
The items that I ordered from etrailer arrive very quickly and were exactly what I needed. Customer service gets an AAA rating. Items are of good quality and look great on my new 2022 Ford Explorer ST!
by: Robert 10/12/2023
So easy to order. Obvious means by which all three devices can be keyed the same. Usual eTrailer great product and great fulfillment.
by: Paul11/25/2023
Great product and great service. Somehow this part was not received in the initial order. etrailer sent me an email checking up on the delivery (nice service) and I let them know what happened and after a few questions, they immediately sent me a replacement.
I am very impressed with their service! I highly recommend etrailer!!
by: William01/19/2022
Good quality metal construction, good fit through hitch. Key insert does not jam with a little silicone lubricant as protection. Easy to lock and unlock

Still very satisfied with hitch lock. Very well made. Holds up well to road grime. Still easy to unlock and remove and re and lock to change out hitch covers.
by: Steve 08/30/2023
A great Hitch lock. Added it to my fleet and they matched it to my existing key.
by: Edward02/02/2023
This seems like a serviceable product but the bike rack I ordered with it unexpectedly included a better version of the same item that was also keyed to the rack. Thus I knew without opening the package that I did not need this lock. To my great frustration, eTrailer told me could only return it if I paid a $XX shipping fee for this small 12 oz item, leaving me with $X back.
So, it looks good it you need it but it's pretty frustrating if you don't.

My husband is a proud Bluewater Vietnam Navy Veteran, celebrating his 50th year anniversary of coming home. My husband is retired & I decided to get a trailer hitchcover for his old truck, to compliment his combat veteran's license plate.
While searching for a unique, eye catching hitchcover, I came across etrailer.com. The cover I chose is eye catching, unique & a sturdy heavy plastic. It was easy to install & the lock, purchased with it, will keep it in place!
He loved the cover - and the price! PS: Still young at heart!
by: Steve 09/11/2023
Very nice hitch lock
by: Dan05/10/2023
No complaints. Product is as advertised (purchased 2 of the same). One minor point - charges for "keyed alike" were minor - however only one set of keys had to be changed, to match the first lock - so charges should have been only 1 charge for the 'keyed alike'
by: Mark 05/11/2023
This item should be a standard package item when ordering the trailer hitch.
by: WF06/05/2023
I like how this locking pin works compared to others I've tried.

Did what I needed it to do!
by: Scott03/02/2023
etrailer has been great to deal with on this and other orders. These fab / weld kit rollers are just the trick to help protect the tail end of my all-aluminum car hauler.
by: Christopher12/13/2022
These work okay. It's also nice being able to have all of the locks keyed the same.
I purchased two, One for a 2-5/16" coupler a year earlier and this one for a 2" coupler. The larger one is still working okay, but this one failed after about 9 months. Not sure if defective or poor quality. Waiting to see how the other one holds up.

view full answer... - How To Measure For Hitch Receiver Lock Pin SpanThe span you refer to on the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # e98880 is the usable length of the pin. To properly measure for this, you can measure the outside walls of your hitch at the pin hole. If you measured, and got 2-5/8", you'd need a hitch pin with at least a span of 2-5/8" like # e98880,. Additionally, you'd need to measure the diameter of the pin hole, so you can choose the correct diameter pin as well. Usually class I and II hitches have a 1/2" diameter...
view full answer... - How to Remove the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Part # e98880The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98880 is threaded on the end where the lock is located. Once the key has been inserted into the locking cylinder you will then need to rotate it counterclockwise until the threaded section is no longer attached. You may need to hold the opposite end of the lock to help keep it from spinning with the locking core. You can see this process done in the video I have attached for you.
view full answer... - Can the etrailer.com Hitch Lock e98880 Have the Same Keys?The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Lock # e98880 can indeed have the same key number for multiple locks. You will need to select the "Keyed Alike" option before adding them to the cart. This will alert our warehouse that all locks in the order will need to have the same key open all the locks.

view full answer... - What Differences Between etrailer Locking Hitch Pin e98880 and e98882There's not really a reason other than personal preference between the chrome finish # e98880 and the stainless steel # e98882; I happen to prefer the stainless steel option but the chrome does give you a bit nicer finish on the lock which is important to some users. Both locks will do a great job of fighting off corrosion and they can both be keyed alike to other etrailer locks.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock For Wide 2" Trailer HitchWe do have a hitch lock that will work for you, but the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # e98880 will not work with your 2" receiver that has an added 1" gap. Instead, what you will need is a lock designed for both wide 2" hitches and 2-1/2" hitches: - etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881 The # e98881 has a pin with a 3-5/8" length, which is enough for your 3" span. Factory hitches like the one on your 4Runner tend to have wider receivers,...

If you don't have the key number you will need to start over with a new complete lock like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Flush Design for 2" Trailer Hitches # e98880.

- Keyed Alike Hitch Locks for a 2 inch and 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverWe have exactly what you need. For your 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880. This has an inside width of 2-5/8 inches and is double-chrome plated for maximum rust resistance. For your 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch, I recommend the Extra Long # e98881, which has an inside width of 3-5/8 inches. Both of these hitch locks have the option of being keyed alike on the product page. Under the product title on the right side, there will be a drop-down...
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Hitch Pin with at Least 2 Inch SpanIf you measured the outside walls of your hitch at the hitch pin hole and got 2" then you will need a hitch pin lock with a span of at least 2"; you'll also want to know the receiver size since hitch pin holes are specific to the receiver size. For a 1-1/4" receiver, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches - Flush - 2-1/8" Span - Chrome # e98879 you were looking at will work just fine since it has a 2-1/8" span and a 1/2" diameter pin to fit in the hitch pin hole.

A hitch pins like the # e98880 and # e98881 will still be holding long after the tow bar, ball mount, or trailer hitch receiver has failed. As an example a rough sheer strength of a similar 5/8" diameter bolt is nearly...
view full answer... - Is Stainless Steel or Chrome etrailer Hitch Lock Harder to CutTechnically, chrome is harder than stainless steel but it isn't going to be a difference between stopping a thief or not stopping one. If a thief really wants to, they'll be able to remove any lock, locks are more of a theft deterrent and both require effort to be removed. There aren't specific alloys for the pins and locks, they are made of steel (though all steel is technically an alloy, of course). Having said all of that, the better option between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver...
view full answer... - Can I Get 4 Hitch Locks Keyed Alike In Two Different Lengths?The best I can do to get you 4 locking pins is give you the two pins of the same sizes keyed alike. For your 5/8 inch longer pins, I recommend the extra long etrailer.com hitch receiver lock # e98881 and for your standard size I recommend the etrailer.com receiver lock # e98880. If you are cool with the locks being longer, you can get all 4 keyed alike and they will function fine, but just look a little different.
view full answer... - Can etrailer Hitch Locks be Keyed Alike Between SizesYes, if you order multiple etrailer brand hitch locks like the part # e98881 and select keyed alike they all will arrive using the same key. So for example if you went with the part # e98880 as well it would be keyed the same as the # e98881. I also attached a page that has all of the etrailer hitch locks we carry as well.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Coupler Lock # e98886 and Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 be Keyed Alike?You can get the Trailer Coupler Lock, # e98886, and the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98880, to all be keyed alike. If you select the "Keyed Alike" option - which is a dropdown menu near the price - and order what you need at the same time, they will all be keyed alike.
view full answer... - Availability of 6 Trailer Hitch Locks That Are Keyed AlikeThere absolutely are trailer hitch locks available you can get keyed alike. If you have a 2 inch receiver you need # e98880 and for a 2-1/2 inch receiver you need # e98881. You'll only need to choose "Keyed Alike" from the drop-down box on the product page. Both of these locks have gotten tremendous reviews from our customers that have used them; I've added links to video reviews of each lock for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Coupler Pin Lock and Ball Mount Lock Recommendation Keyed AlikeSounds like you'd want our etrailer.com Pin Lock part # e98890 for the pin lock and then for the 2 inch hitch lock you'd want the hitch lock part # e98880 which you can then select keyed alike on both from the drop down menu and they'll come with the same lock core.
view full answer... - Recommended License Plate Relocation Bracket For 2 Inch Hitch ReceiverFor your Purple Heart plate, I recommend the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443. This will fit with a 2 inch receiver on the front or the back of your vehicle. You may want to consider a hitch lock like # e98880 to secure it to your hitch receiver.
view full answer... - Removing Corroded Hitch LockIf liquid wrench or a WD-40 or PB Blaster type product did not work, you will have to cut off the lock. I have taken them off with little difficulty using a Dremel Tool or an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Make sure to wear eye protection. Some will recommend trying a torch to heat the lock, but that will just mess up the tumblers and you will have to cut it off eventually.
view full answer... - Does Front Hitch for 2017 Chevy Colorado have Capacity for Bike Rack and HitchThe front hitches that fit your 2017 Chevy Colorado like the Draw Tite part # 65071 have more than enough capacity to carry 160 lbs of bikes and bike rack. The front axle of the truck would also easily be able to handle that as well.
view full answer... - Can the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover be Locked to Trailer HitchThere really isn't a way to lock the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover # 63080 onto the hitch receiver. If you had a ball mount or other accessory in the hitch you could lock that into the hitch with a lock such as # e98880 so that the cover could not be removed. But that is really about the only option.
