Recommended Hitch Lock for 3 Inch Factory Trailer Hitch on Ford Truck
Question:
I bought a 2018 Ford super duty with the tow hitch having the in the receiver. I believe it’s 3in X 3 in. I can’t find a locking hitch pin that will be long enough to lock my trailers hitch into. Any recommendations?

For the factory 3 inch trailer hitch on your 2018 Ford truck I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Trailer HItch Lock # BD580412. This is the longest hitch lock we have available and it is designed to fit 3 inch hitches like what you have. It features a usable length of 3-1/2 inches. I do recommend measuring the outside width of your hitch receiver just to make sure this will be long enough.
This lock features a heavy duty steel construction and a nickel finish to help resist corrosion. Two keys and a tethered lock cap are included. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
