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 Draw-Tite from eTrailer... https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Hit...nch_Hitch.aspx
|
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.

Bolt - best lock and pin I’ve ever had. |
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. |

Anyone got a direct link to this? So I don't end up getting the wrong one.

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.

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. |
The Bolt lock looks like a pretty cool idea. After reading the reviews on Amazon, Ford keys seem to have an issue. Several people reported that after using it several times the lock suddenly quite unlocking and they had to cut it off. Some also reported the lock somehow failing and having their trailer drop to the ground while going down the road. Has anyone here had any problems?

bolt
no issues on my 2019 , i have two pins in B&W tow and stow |
It looks like you can get a longer Bolt lock from Gen-Y hitch. I also like it better because it doesn't have the bent pin.
https://genyhitch.com/shop/bolt-hitch-lock/ PS, you have to select the 3" hitch in the dropdowns |
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...f96e9dd97.jpeg I drilled out a 5/8” hitch pin to use a Master padlock. I use the same lock on several trailers, etc. For the record, Since this pic I swapped over all my trailer chain hooks to ones large enough to accommodate the Ford hitch.. |
Had a Master keyed pin lock, completely junk. Stated rusting in less than 6 months. Tried to take it off last night, fell apart.
|
I too have the Bolt lock and have no problems with it since Feb of 17 it has never frozen up and I drive in the mountain of PNW.
Also have the padlock they make so I can lock down my canoes with a cable. The fewer keys you have the better

Up until then I was very happy with this product. |
