This hitch combines with a Lock 'N' Roll trailer-end coupler (sold separately) to create a safe, secure, fully articulating connection that's great for towing whether you're on the road or off-road. It's more secure than a traditional ball hitch, and it's more comfortable and quieter than a pintle setup. The Lock 'N' Roll connects quickly and easily, and can adapt to any towing conditions.
Strong, Safe Connection
When using a traditional ball coupler, it can be hard to tell if the coupler is fully latched around the ball. You can head out assuming the connection is secure, only to have the trailer pop off of the ball and disconnect while you're towing. With the Lock 'N' Roll, that won't happen.
This unique hitch is designed to interlock with a matching trailer-side coupler to form a tight, secure connection. Unlike on a ball coupler, the latching components on the Lock 'N' Roll system are easy to see, so you can tell at a glance if the connection is secure.
Once secure, the Lock 'N' Roll setup offers a wide range of motion, which makes for a smooth ride. Because of the articulating action of the combined hitch and coupler, the Lock 'N' Roll connection can handle the harsh bumps and road shock that could otherwise stress and potentially damage a ball coupler.
The Lock 'N' Roll connection also makes your trailer less vulnerable to theft. Unlike a traditional ball coupler, which is compatible with any hitch ball of a matching size, the trailer-side Lock 'N' Roll coupler can only connect to a vehicle-side Lock 'N' Roll hitch. So your trailer cannot be towed away unless it's connected to a vehicle with a Lock 'N' Roll hitch installed.
With the Lock 'N' Roll, you can have peace of mind knowing your connection will not come apart or succumb to damage caused by road shock, nor will your trailer be vulnerable to theft.
Comfortable Off-Road Towing
The pintle hitch connection is the most common setup when towing off road because of the flexibility in the connection. But that flexible connection can also result in a lot of slop. This can cause uncomfortable jerking as well as rattle and noise. In addition, when using a pintle/lunette ring setup, it can be difficult to back up your vehicle and trailer without jackknifing. And it can be hard to disconnect at certain angles, which may be a necessity when overlanding.
The Lock 'N' Roll assembly, on the other hand, offers a close-fit, slop-free connection that's designed for off-roading. This close-fitting design provides a smoother ride than a pintle/lunette ring connection with less rattle. It also makes it easy to back your vehicle and trailer up without jackknifing.
When combined, the Lock 'N' Roll hitch and coupler also create a fully articulating connection that's great for off-roading. The bearing that's built into the vehicle-end hitch allows for 360 degrees of rotation, which means that your trailer could actually roll all the way over and not take your vehicle with it. The connection also pivots side to side and up and down, making it easy to take rough trails without jarring your setup. This also allows for fast and easy disconnection, even at extreme angles.
How Lock 'N' Roll Works
Each Lock 'N' Roll setup requires 2 parts - a trailer end and a vehicle end. Together they create a strong, secure connection. To connect, just line up the trailer end and vehicle end together and place the outer metal tabs of the trailer-end coupler into the hooks on the vehicle-end hitch. Then fold the latching plates on the vehicle-end hitch down and secure them in place over the tabs using the included pin and clip. With the latching plates secured, the Lock 'N' Roll assembly will stay firmly connected.
When the trailer-side coupler and vehicle-side hitch are secured together, they form an articulating assembly with 3 axes of directional motion. The uniquely designed bearing on the vehicle-side hitch allows the connection to rotate a full 360 degrees. The trailer-side coupler's hinge allows the connection to pivot to the left and to the right. And when the 2 parts are joined, the tabs will roll inside of the hooks so that the entire assembly can tilt up and down.
Towing with the Lock 'N' Roll is easy, and it gives you a connection that's both flexible and secure.
Get Maximum Security Locking Pins
Get extra security for your trailer. InfiniteRule makes hitch pin locks (IR59FR - sold separately) specifically for this Lock 'N' Roll articulating hitch. You'll get two stainless steel locks: one with a 1/2" diameter pin, and one with a 5/8" diameter pin. These will replace the standard pins and clips on the driver-side and trailer-side of your coupler.

This is the best hitch! Super durable, easy to use and secure. Really well build solid. Is super heavy which shows the quality
Let me just tell you that I got rear ended while the hitch was on ….short story nothing happen to my car or the hitch, but the person that rear ended me, well that’s a different story

This hitch has made it possible for both our Subaru Outback and our truck to pull our small RV. It was a good price for an invaluable piece of equipment!

The Hitch as exactly what we needed as our new vehicle was a bit lower and we need to have the extra positions to get the correct height. The hitch has performed as expected...great product, we love the hitch.

by: Dalen12/05/2022
Product quality seems good, I was just not to impressed with the shipping because when it got to me the grease zerk was sheared off. That's the only reason I gave it a 4
by: Jim06/14/2022
product was described well and came quickly, and was the right combo of two products I needed. However I thought it would come with a hitch pin, that might have been my error to think that though.

This adapter was just what I needed to hook up my 21" tongue height off road utility trailer to my Nissan Frontier.

See what our Experts say about this Lock N Roll Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Which Lock N Roll Coupler Fits On a 2005 Strarcraft RT10 Pop Up Camper? Based on the images you sent in it appears your 2005 Starcraft RT10 does not use a traditional A-Frame coupler so the Lock N Roll # 336TS504 will not work for your application. Instead you will need to measure the width between your frame rails the current coupler sits at where you see the welds. This will allow you to weld in a 2" # 336TS528, 2-1/2" # 336TS506 or 3" # 336TS508 channel style coupler. Do note these measurements are for the inside the coupler measurement so you will need...

- Adjustable Height Setup for Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch SetupWhile the shank of your current Lock N Roll articulating hitch would fit into the hitch opening of the # 3371802225 we can't recommend you go that route as it was not intended for use in any other way aside from with the adjustable ball mount setup. Your best and safest solution would be the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch part # 336VS503515. This gives you the height adjustability and since it's been tested there'd be no concern that it would be a dangerous setup.
view full answer... - Rise And Drop Measurements of Lock N Roll 3-Position Channel HitchWhen Lock N Roll Measured the Articulating Hitch w/ 3-Position Channel # 336VS503505 they state that they are measuring from the center of the receiver pin hole to the center of the trailer connector pin at 5-1/2". As this is generally not how ball mounts are measured our measurement will be from the top of the receiver tube to the top of latching mechanism for the rise and drop measurements. That is why we only show the 4-1/4" measurement. We also have their Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch...
view full answer... - Recommended Sway Control for Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch SystemWith the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503515 I recommend using the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. This sway control attaches to the electric trailer brakes on your trailer and will activate the brakes independently on the left or right side to help reduce/prevent trailer sway. Since it is wired to the trailer there are no mechanical parts to attach and remove whenever you connect to the trailer.
view full answer... - Is There an Articulating Coupler That Will Work for JeepsWe do have an articulating coupler that will work with your Jeep and trailer, although we don't carry the Max Coupler brand. What we carry is the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for your Jeep and the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler for your camper. All you need is to determine which rise or drop you need and the size of the channel on your camper. - No Drop or Rise: Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers - Vehicle Side # 336VS501 - 2-1/2"...
view full answer... - Availability of Adjustable Ball Mount Like MT70067 With Higher Weight CapacityWe don't offer an adjustable ball mount exactly like the MaxxTow MT70067 but we might have something that would work for you. I looked up the poly hitch you spoke of, and it looks like it's similar to the Lock N Roll articulating hitches we offer. The largest drop Lock N Roll hitch we offer is part # 336VS503515 which offers up to an 8-1/4 inch drop with an 11K weight capacity. The Lock N Roll hitch is compatible with a corresponding coupler, which I've linked for you.
view full answer... - Availability of Lock N Roll Ball Mount With 6" Rise for Towing Tear TrailerA High-Low adapter like the one you looked at is only intended for flat towing, not towing a trailer. Regardless, I would not use a separate adapter with the Lock N Roll. Use of your typical adapter will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%. It also isn't the best idea to add in an additional part with the design of the system. The best option is to get the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 5-Position Channel # 336VS503515. This has a maximum rise/drop of 8-1/4" with 2" hole spacing...
view full answer... - Can Lock N Roll Hitch System be Used with Disc Brakes on TrailerI reached out to my contact at Lock N Roll and he said that their system can be used with a surge brake application and that everything will function normally. The Coupler # 336TS502 would be the easiest to install if you have that type of surge brake system, but there are also the channel mounts for 2" # 336TS528, 2-1/2" # 336TS506, and 3" # 336TS508 channels if you're able to install one of those. As far as the tow vehicle side of things goes I've linked our selection for you to filter...
view full answer... - Recommended Lock N Roll Ball Mount For 2019 Yukon XL SLT That Needs 3-1/4 - 3-1/2 Rise/DropAll of the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch Ball Mounts have adjustment holes that are 2" apart center to center, so you will only be able to get rise or drop in a 2" increments. Since you are looking for 3-1/4" - 3-1/2" rise or drop to level your 2019 GMC Yukon XL SLT with the Max Towing Package then I recommend the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 3-Position Channel - 2" Receivers - Vehicle Side - 11K # 336VS503505 which offers up to 4-1/4" rise or drop. Since it won't be the exact measurement...
view full answer... - Torque for the Mounting Bolts of Lock N Roll Articulating HitchThe amount of torque you need to use when tightening the bolts of the Lock N Roll Coupler # 336VS503515 is 112 ft lbs. Loc-tite is not required and might make adjusting the height later more difficult.
view full answer... - Choosing The Correct Lock N Roll Adjustable Channel Hitch To Match Your TrailerThe Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 3-Position Channel # 336VS503505 is capable of lowering your receiver height 4-1/4" This will move the hitch height from 21-1/2" to 17-1/4" on your Ford Ranger. It gives you a distance of 1-3/4" difference to the 15-1/2" of the trailer tongue. When you connect to the trailer, the suspension on your Ranger will lower with the extra weight. How much lower is unknown but this may be something that you can verify with the manufacturer of the trailer....
view full answer... - Is There a Trailer Coupler Designed For OffroadingThere is a trailer coupler designed specifically to be used for offroading, from Lock N Roll. This uses an articulating connection between the coupler and accompanying hitch mount that gives a full 360 degree rotation between the two. So the trailer won't bounce off a hitch ball as you go over uneven surfaces as there isn't a hitch ball in use. You can use either of the following couplers, depending on if your trailer has an A-frame or 3" channel: - Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue...
view full answer... - Recommended Articulating Coupler for Off-Road Adventure TrailerIt sounds like you're looking for an articulating coupler. For the trailer side of the equation, use # 336TS504 for an A-frame coupler. For an adjustable channel tongue use # 336TS502. If you need a 2 inch channel tongue go with part # 336TS528, # 336TS506 for a 2-1/2 inch channel tongue, or # 336TS508 for a 3 inch channel. For the vehicle side, there are several different drops available. For a zero rise/drop, use # 336VS501. For up to a 4-1/4 inch rise or drop, use # 336VS503505 or...
view full answer... - Choosing the Correct Rise/Drop for Lock N Roll Articulating HitchThe # 336VS503515 comes with the adjustable channel bracket along with the adjustable channel mount and bolts. You will need to install the channel mount in the appropriate rise/drop position since it does not come fully assembled. It looks like you already have a complete Lock N Roll hitch so you actually don't need the # 336VS503515. Instead, you could get the # 336TS515 to replace your existing channel bracket. You can remove the # 336VS503 on your current Lock N Roll and install it...

- Are Safety Chains Needed with Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch You absolutely still need to have safety chains hooked up whenever you tow a trailer, regardless of what type of hitch ball or ball mount you are using. With the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503515 that you referenced and really any ball mount, the safety chains will attach to the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch itself and not to the ball mount or hitch ball. You will want to cross the chains under the coupler and ball mount and hook them up to each safety chain loop....

- Can Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch be Used in Rise PositionThe Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 5-Position Channel # 336VS503515 that you referenced can be used in the rise position if needed. Since the head of the kit can articulate 360 degrees it can easily flip into the rise position and be used in that orientation safely.
