Class V Hitch Receiver Lock
Does anyone know who makes a Class V Hitch Receiver Lock for the new Super Duty. The outside Length on the hitch is 3". So I'm guessing the pin/lock would need to be 3 1/2" in length. My old Master receiver lock that I used on my 2012 F-350 is too short for the new hitches. So far I'm striking out with locating one.
Thanks

I went directly to Trimax. 303-796-8500 Ordered a TH4 for the receiver. I have a Geny Hitch and the same size locking pin works for it as well. While I was at it, I had them send me pins for our F150 and Jeep and pins for 3 of my trailers. 7 locking pins in all and each of them came with 2 keys all keyed alike. Makes life simpler.

I've got the Anderson stainless steel and used it this past weekend and it bent . It's 5/8 shaft . I'm not liking it pulling 12000-14000 pull behind. I was hoping that the stainless would last a long time in the weather but it's bent not sure if the steel isn't strong enough. I bought the 2 piece set same key

This is what I use for 3 of my pulling rigs, 2 Fords and a Jeep. I also have one of the padlocks on my Jeep's rear tire rack on the bumper.
Uses the vehicle ignition key. Give you Platinum & KR boys a reason to take the key out of your pocket.

Stainless can be pretty lame when compared to steel. If you are having problems you should revert to steel. A badly deformed pin can be a real bear to remove. Something else not being addressed is the 3" has a 3/4" hole, not 5/8". Although the 5/8" seem to be working there has to be some slop in the fitment. If using a 2 1/2" or 2" reducer, the holes are 5/8" but the receiver tube on the truck is 3/4". Maybe I am OCD but I believe this is excessive tolerance.

Yes your right but the sleeves that ford provided are 5/8 but I'm sure that's what happened I could feel the jerk at stops and forward motion. I bought a Reese titan reducer 3-2 but it made my hitch to far from my truck and the trailer pigtail wouldn't plug up because of the new location of the 7 pin.

Ouch, that is not good. Thanks for the info, that was one of my finalists to order. Not anymore.

Ok went out and got a 3/4 " hitch pin . It doesn't fit the receiver. I've used the 5/8 pin with the 2 sleeves and it bent on first trip . Do I need to drill everything out to 3/4" and use a 3/4 pin to stop the sloop in the hitch

I would not drill it out but I find this interesting. Early fact sheets regarding the 3 inch hitch indicated the hole would be 3/4". The sleeves are 5/8" so the regular ball mounts would still be useful (5/8"). I guess we need more input regarding these issues. In the mean time you could use a Grade 8 bolt with a nyloc nut, or drill it to accept the retainer pin. This is curious.
