Expert Answers about Volkswagen Wheel Locks


  • Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock v. ETrailer Trailer Wheel Lock
  • The Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock - Aluminum - 15" to 20" Wheels Item # BLEZ-302 has three size settings for tires and connects to through the rim. It is aluminum so it won't rust and has a pick proof lock. The etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock Item # 288-02020 has 9 different size settings, is painted bright yellow and had a rubber coating to prevent scratching your rims and to create more friction to hold your tire in place. It has rubber coating and cap over the cylinder lock to prevent...

  • Is The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock Easy to Open When Unlocked
  • If someone cut the lock on The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock with Lug Nut Protector Plate # WI491-491LNP then it would be easy to open as you can see in the attached review video. This would is the same for the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 that you referenced. The design of The Club Tire Claw XL makes it harder to cut the lock without damaging the tire plus it comes with that plate that covers up the lug nuts and gives you more protection so that's my recommendation. When it...

  • Are Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock and EZr Cross-Compatible
  • The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock part # C16210 and Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr part # C16220 are very similar, but not the same. The shaft is a bit longer on the EZr model so it won't work correctly if used on the Double Lock.

  • Comparing the Demco 5th Wheel Adapter to the Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for Chevy/GMC Tow Package
  • The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 6-1/2' Bed - 21K # DM6194 will have 4 corners that drop into your pucks and the center post will fit into your gooseneck hitch location. The center post has a lever to lock the adapter into place and then a thumb screw tightens that down to secure it. The 5th wheel hitch will fit right over this adapter to make it more secure. I've attached a video to help. That 5th point of connection is the biggest...

  • Ultra Fab Lock Wheel Stabilizer or Wheel Chock Recommendation
  • If you are looking for a way to reduce the front to back movement of an RV when parked stabilizers like the Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001070 would be your best option. If you are looking for a brake to prevent a trailer from rolling down a hill when unhitched a wheel chock like part # 337WC1467A would be better.

  • SuperGlide and Demco Highjacker Auto-Sliding 5TH Wheel Hitches Locking Plates For Basic Pin Boxes
  • On your SuperGlide Auto sliding 5th wheel hitch you must always have a capture plate with any 5th wheel pin box. The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 will allow you to use most normal 5th wheel hitches that use a pin box that measures between 12" and 14" wide. Locking plates are only required for cushioned and other specialty pin boxes that do not fall into the 12"-14" pin box width.

  • Selecting The Correct Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter For Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch

  • Coupler Lock Comparison for Securing a Travel Trailer
  • Any type of lock you put on your trailer will be a theft deterrent. I recommend using the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock, part # FA86-0015-316, because it can mount on 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch couplers and it fits on a wide variety of coupler types. The Diversi-Tech lock will be harder and noisier to break off than the Master Lock coupler lock which is a better deterrent for thieves. Wheel locks are also a secure option, but can be tedious to apply and still gives thieves a chance to...

  • Comparing 2019 Chevy 3500 OEM Compatible 5th Wheel Hitch for Biggest Trailer
  • The difference you asked about you already stated. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # BWRVK3705 is rated for 5,000 lbs more than the other hitch. It will be a stronger option with less limitations due to that. The lock that will work with the hitch to secure it is the Master Lock Padlock # ML4140LH for a single lock or, if you want to lock both sides of the Companion, you can use the Master Lock keyed alike # ML312KA.

  • Better 5th Wheel Hitch Curt A16 or Curt E16
  • I would by far recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Item # C16520-16021 over the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Item # C16515-16021. While they both have identical towing capacities the A16 is the superior 5th wheel hitch because of the dual locking jaw. The jaw design of the A16 allows for 360 degree contact with the kingpin. This results in a much smoother ride without the jarring and chucking that comes with the E16's single slide bar locking mechanism. Both 5th Wheel Hitches...

  • Comparing the Curt Double Lock/EZr and B&W Turnoverball for a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The only difference between the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch and the Curt EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch is that the EZr has a center locator tool which makes for drilling the hitch ball opening hole much easier. That said, Curt has not released a Double Lock or EZr for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The only gooseneck hitch that has been released as of August 2019 is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1020. The B&W Turnoverball is actually a much...

  • Comparing Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rail Adapters and Compatibility with Draw-Tite Gooseneck
  • The differences between the Curt X5 adapters is what they will fit. X5 adapter # C16220 fits Curt EZr Double-Lock gooseneck hitches. And X5 adapter # C16210 fits Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches such as # C60720. The biggest difference to note is the shank from the bottom of the adapter is a different length. The # C16210 has a shank that is 4.41 inches long and the # C16220 has a shank that is 4.66 inches long. So the difference in the length also means the hole...

  • Comparing Steel vs Aluminum 8 Lug Trailer Wheels for Hotshot Business
  • Aluminum trailer tires typically have a really nice seal but they also are not normally rated for as high a weight capacity on an 8 bolt wheel. They are a softer metal so they do tend to be more durable when it comes to flex. My recommendation is the Aluminum Bobcat Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # LHSO513B which are rated for up to 3,960 lbs each and come with a 1 year warranty but 2 years of complimentary roadside assistance. These will be nice light and durable...

  • Comparison of Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tailgates # VGD-02-100 and # VGD-02-4000, 2009 Dodge Ram
  • When comparing the Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tail Gates, # VGD-02-4000, and # VGD-02-100, there are several key differences. First, in terms of materials and construction, the 4000 series is made of composite materials and is lighter. The 100 series is made from steel and is heavier. The 4000 series features a glass-filled, black composite plastic frame that is blow molded to create a lightweight yet strong-as-steel tailgate. It does also feature a lock like you have mentioned.

  • Comparing 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Jaw Designs for a Hitch on a 2012 Ford F-250 Short Bed
  • There are a few different jaw types on a 5th wheel hitch. A slide bar can be found on the less expensive hitches like a Pro Series PS30094. A slide bar, while secure, is going to provide the least snug fit and you will notice the king pin making some noise. Next are double jaws and are much more secure and cut down quite a bit on the movement and noise of the king pin. Many Reese, Curt, and other brand mid-level and higher end hitches have the double locking jaw design like # RP30075. The...
