This fits a 2021 Kia Telluride with towing package. We purchased this primarily to secure a bike rack, and feel confident now that we can lock the bikes to the rack and not worry about theft while unattended. The fitment is great. The protective cap to keep dirt out of the keyhole seems sufficient. And we are proud to buy an American made product.

Purchased to keep my new hitch safe from theft and has the 15k rating. Looks good and like the way it threads with the use of key. Just put it on today, haven’t pulled with it yet.

There is 1 thing you will never beat etrailer on and that is shipping speed. Prices are hard to beat and even if you find a better deal, you still can't beat their service and shipping. Ordered this Sunday and sitting in my garage Tuesday morning. I have purchased many of these hitches, heavy fifth wheel hitches and continue to be impressed by etrailer and B&W.

These function (around 20 - 30)...they all rusted within the first month and in many cases had to be cut off. We still use them, but they need frequent application of lubricant to ensure proper function.
Comments
Lubrication is key in keeping aftermarket items in good condition. Here are some other tips for rust prevention:

Got a $300 3-ball hitch mount and with this lock I don't have to worry about it hitching a ride in someone else's truck. Thanks for the quick ship too.

First time I have ever felt the need for a receiver lock, but the e-bike rack I bought is too expensive to leave on my truck unlocked. This gets the job done, a little awkward the first time to un-lock it which is probably a good thing. I feel much calmer leaving the rack on my truck now. Seems solid not sure about rust but that can be delt with easily. Price was a bargin. The screw in action was noted by others as more secure than a simple tab.

Before ordering the locking hitch pin online I spoke with etrailer customer service. Extremely helpful customer service. I ordered the product for a 2015 Tundra Platinum. Pin was oversized like I needed, and was not a problem. Put a couple of rubber washers on each side of the pin to help with the slack and noise caused by vibration. Works like a champ. Love the key system on this pin. I would recommend it for Tundra owners who have the oversized heavy duty factory hitch on their truck. Etrailer shipped the product very quickly and had excellent follow up communications after the sale. I would not hesitate to buy from etrailer again.

Bought multiple receiver locks and hitch locks, all keyed the same. Incredibly convenient to always use the same key no matter what vehicle or trailer you are using.

Very nice design for a 2.5" Receiver. The key locks a threaded connection, not a gate type lock. My old Master Lock froze up terribly over time. I hope this will not, but time will tell. Looks good on my 2017 F250 Super Duty.
Comments
Both products are still performing and looking great. I’ve had numerous people ask where I got them and I tell them to check out etrailer.com before they buy locally.

The B&W Tow & Stow is excellent. Very good quality and the chrome finish is great. etrailer was excellent to purchase from and the shipping was very fast. They also have updated shipping info to let you know exactly where your product is during the shipping process. I will definitely use them for future purchases.

This product is exactly what I needed for my Toyota Tacoma truck. The previous item that I had purchased, and subsequently returned, wasn't long enough to go through the hitch receiver and be locked. The RG5-XL was actually long enough and I put a water hose rubber gasket on both ends before and after going through the hitch to "snug it up" so It wouldn't rattle. Very Happy with this product and my hitch item won't get stolen.

Super-solid product. The hitch lock I had for my Thule bike rack wasn't long enough to fit through the trailer hitch on my Tacoma, so I picked this one up, which is about 1/2 - 3/4" longer. It's also a bit thicker and just fits through the holes in the hitch and bike rack (it took me some time to figure out that I had to remove a washer from the insert inside my rack). At any rate, it does fit and is a really solid piece. The lock mechanism is a little awkward (you have to turn the key several times as the locking side locks into place) but that's not a big deal.

by: Trygve07/21/2021
It's definitely hard enough. No scoring on the shaft despite pulling over 10,000lb all over the place. I am not a huge fan of having to turn the key or the shaft so many times to lock and unlock it, but if you don't change between hitches often you won't notice.

The ball hitch and lock were exactly as explained to me by Ashley E. I was on the website and was a little bit unsure of which way to go on my purchase so I called Etrailer. She was very helpful and had the answers that I was looking for. Thank-you for all of the help.

Needed to replace my angled locking hitch pin. It was old and I didn’t like the way it was wearing into the hitch receiver. This straight through locking pin is perfect and easy to install.

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Trailer Hitch Lock
- Long Adjustable Ball Mount For 11,000 lb TrailerSo there isn't a 6 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has an 11,000 lb capacity and 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity, and hitch extenders also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so they are generally just used for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. That means the best option we can offer is a ball mount with an extended reach, which may work for you depending on the distance you need. The longest ball mount that has the capacity you need is from BulletProof...

- Adapter To Use Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack in 2-1/2 Inch Hitch ReceiverSo the answer is yes, with your 2-1/2 inch receiver you will still be able to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV. You are correct, however, that the your standard hitch reducer sleeve isn't going to work, so what you will need instead is a different reducer from Brophy: - Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch # HR26 Because it extends out, what this Brophy adapter does is essentially give you a 2" hitch on your F-250 so you can mount the T2 Pro #...

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.

It is intended for use as a hitch lock, to deter theft of a ball mount or other hitch mounted accessory. The receiver tube of a Class V hitch is typically about 3-1/2 inches wide, while the lock has an inside span of 3-5/8 inches. This particular lock is available keyed alike. If you have several trucks you will be towing with, and you would like the locks all keyed alike so you do not have to keep track of...

- Best Lock For Cargo Carrier SecurityIf you have our cargo carrier # e98874 then use the threaded hitch pin lock # e99047. If you have another cargo carrier, get this non threaded locking hitch pin # e98881. I like these better because they are pick proof and better than cable locks in my opinion. Cable locks can be cut with high end cutters but these locks will need a grinder of sorts and won't be as discrete when cutting through.
