Expert Answers about Toyota Vehicle Locks


  • Will the Club Pedal to Wheel Vehicle Lock work on a Large Truck
  • I spoke with my contact at Club and found that the Pedal to Wheel Vehicle Lock, # WICL303RED, measures 30 inches from inside hook to inside hook when fully extended. If the brake pedal in your rig is more than 30 inches away from the steering wheel, then this lock will not work. Depending on the inner diameter of your steering wheel, you could look into a steering wheel lock like the Club Twin Hooks Chromoly Steel Steering Wheel Lock, # WI3000. This lock will work on your steering wheel...

  • Class III Pin Hole Diameter for Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98841 has a pin hole to accept a 5/8" pin. The Length of the pin needs to be at least 2-1/2" between the lock and collar or bend in the pin. I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT. This set will give you locking pins for both 1/2" and 5/8" receiver pins. A trailer coupler lock so that your trailer cannot be removed from your vehicle when connected. And lastly a storage lock for the trailer to deter...

  • Do Trailer Hitch Locks and Hitch Pins have a Capacity
  • Hitch locks and pins do not have an official capacity because they are capable of weights way beyond what a hitch or vehicle can handle. In other words the hitch or vehicle would fail long before the pin or lock. I have included a link to all of the hitch locks that we carry. Most Class V trailer hitches have a 2-1/2 inch receiver and would use a lock like # e98881. Curt does have some Class V rated hitches with 2 inch receivers like # C15318 that you have referenced. You could use a lock...

  • Is a Hitch Lock Strong Enough to Support Weight of Wheelchair Carrier
  • Trailer hitch locks, such as our etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4 Inch Hitches # e98879, do not typically have a listed weight capacity. This is simply because a hitch lock or pin is not going to actually bear any of the weight from an accessory like your wheelchair carrier or a trailer. You do not need to worry about a hitch lock or standard pin failing from being overloaded. The only capacities you will need to consider is that of the vehicle itself and the trailer...

  • How Can I Carry 50lb Ebikes On The Roof Of My Car
  • Your ebikes weight is one of the limiting factors in carrying them on the roof of your vehicle. The Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount, part # Y02098, has a weight limit of 40lbs. But if your roof rack has crossbars with a channel my recommendation would be the Inno Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Channel Mounted - Aluminum, part # INXA391. It is a fork mounted rack that attaches to the channel of your crossbars. It has a weight limit of 50lbs and locks your...

  • Can a Hitch Lock be Used in Place of a Hitch Pin and Safely Tow a Boat Trailer
  • It sounds like you want to use the hitch lock, like # e98882, in place of a regular hitch pin. Yes, you can absolutely use the lock instead of a hitch pin and it will work great to safely transport the trailer and boat. The hitch lock does not have an official rating but in reality its capacity is much higher than the tow vehicle or trailer hitch. I have linked a video review of this lock for you.

  • Usable Span and Diameter of Replacement Pin for Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch for 2 Receivers
  • We don't have a pin lock that would replace the pin of the Lock N Roll # 336VS511 that you referenced but if you found a 1/2 inch diameter pin that has a usable span of 4-3/4 inches that would work since the replacement pin # 336HP001 has these dimensions.

  • Does etrailer Hitch Lock e98882 Have Weight Capacity
  • Hitch pins and hitch pin locks like the etrailer lock # e98882 do not typically have weight capacities as they do not normally bear the weight of the trailer since the tongue weight pins the mount into the hitch tube. This would work well in a flat towing setup too even though the tongue weight isn't quite there.

  • How Much Does the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack Weigh
  • The Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63360 weighs 25-lbs and it's a great choice; Swagman really makes nice back racks as you can see from all the 5 star reviews. This rack will tilt away from your vehicle to allow you to open the rear cargo hatch with the rack still installed. Since this rack does not come with any locks you may want to also add the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031, which...

  • Do the Cam Tighteners Of Glacier Snow Chains Help Prevent Chain Contact with Vehicle Fender
  • The cam locks of the Glacier Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains # PWE2228SC that you referenced will tighten the sides of the chain and remove slack in them. This will help reduce any movement that would be there while traveling. You will still want to keep your vehicle under about 35 miles per hour and check the owners manual for any restrictions on snow chain usage. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
