  • What Material is the Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT Made From
  • The 7/8" Wide Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT is made of hardened steel. As far as how easy it is to defeat, ultimately any lock can be defeated given enough time and the right tools.

  • Trailer Hitch Extension For Bike Rack To Clear Opened Tailgate On Toyota Tundra
  • You will find that opening a tail gate all the way is just not possible with a hitch mounted bike carrier on a pickup truck. Since the tail gate extends so fat beyond the bumper when opened it would require a bike carrier to almost lay flat. Using any adapter or extension in your trailer hitch will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. An adapter like part # 80300 would extend the hitch and possibly give you the clearance you need for your Kuat bike carrier. This extension...
