3" locking hitch pin??

What are you guys using for the 3" hitch's? Would prefer to get the matched set (Keyed Alike) for trailer coupler too. Got the B&W, just not leaving it unlocked.

I bought a BOLT Lock, keys to the truck key. This is my second winter (salt) with it. No corrosion so far.

I also have "Bolt" brand and have them on multiple trucks. Keys the same as the truck and makes it very convenient.

Another vote for Bolt. 1 less key to have to worry about.

Another happy Bolt guy here.

I swore when I bought the new truck, I would also buy all new locks. Between hitch pin, cross pin for the adjustable ball on my Curt hitch, and the safety pin on the actual trailer, I was tired of fumbling through and testing all my keys until I found the right one. Never could find a matched pin set that had two 3" pins and a safety pin until the Bolt concept came around.

Another happy Bolt lock user. I have never seen if it is rated for the full 20K, but I will never tow anywhere near that anyway.

This Bolt Hitch Pin # 7023585 doesn't fit my 3" Receiver .. It needs to be 1/4" longer to lock.

Odd. Fits my 19 450. A little tight, but locks down without forcing it.

On my curt receiver I had to shave down the rubber jacket a few mm to get it to lock. Still have rubber covering that area, but it wouldn’t click unless I removed some rubber.
