Expert Answers about King Pin Locks


  • USA Made King Pin Lock Recommendation
  • The Buyers Products 2" King Pin Lock # 337KPL200 is made overseas per my contact at Buyers Products. For a king pin lock that's made right here in the US I recommend checking out the Blaylock EZ Lock King Pin Lock for 5th Wheel Trailers # BLTL-70-40D. This has a nice aluminum construction so it's going to resist the elements plus you can use the included Master Lock padlock for some of the other various Blaylock applications as well.

  • Andersen Ultimate Connection Rail Mounted 5th Wheel Hitch with Funnel
  • The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 does come with the king pin connection block and funnel. The King Pin connection is the block that recently had that red funnel added to make easy connection to the ball as long is the ball is within 3 inches of the socket. The older style was the silver block you see in the photos and they added that red funnel to make connection even easier. The Andersen Ultimate does come with that red funnel included.

  • Reese Titan Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 with Rail Kit and Reese Revolution
  • The 30866 you referenced is no longer available but the # RP30047 is and would be a great solution. It can easily be used with a Reese Revolution pin box. The correct rail adapter you'd need for this hitch to install in your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory rail kit is the part # RP30154.

  • Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight and Truck Payload Capacity
  • The hitch pin weight of 1400 lbs you stated is so close to your payload capacity, but that is not accounting for the 5th wheel hitch and rail weights or the loaded weight with cargo added. Tunda's are notorious for having a lower payload and in this case, I can't tell you it will be fine. The payload weight is spread out over the truck bed where the 5th wheel rails are mounted to the frame directly so are more secure. Unfortunately manufacturers don't test for the 5th Wheel Hitch weight...

  • What Material are Hitch Pins Made of?
  • A 5/8" diameter hitch pin is usually made of steel, though some have coatings applied to help resist corrosion. For example, the Master Lock Pivot Lock Hitch Pin for 2" Hitches # ML1465DAT is made of stainless steel, but there is also a version - the Master Lock Pivot Lock Hitch Pin for 2" Hitches # ML1495DAT - which is a chrome-plated steel hitch pin with a chrome-plated aluminum barrel.

  • Anti-Rattle, locking, Stabilization Pin that will not Rust
  • I have just what you need, a stainless steel locking anti-rattle hitch pin for you. I suggest the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches part # SR25219. You will need a hollow shank for this to work. For a solid shank, you will want the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock part # AM3493 for the lock in addition to our Brophy Stabilizer Bracket part # RHSB for anti-rattle.

  • Purpose of Smaller Holes in Draw-Tite Hitch Receivers Between Opening and Hitch Pin Hole
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75607 has the smaller holes between the receiver tube end and the hitch pin hole. The smaller hole is no longer used. This is a locking hitch pin and anti-rattle device that Draw-Tite has the integrated holes to utilize. I've attached a couple of videos to assist. It is a really nice option for ball mounts and other accessories that do not have an integrated locking/anti-rattle system to stabilize and reduce noise.

  • Fastway Flash Heavy Duty Adjustable Ball Mount Weight and Pin Sizes
  • The Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2.5" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 20K # FA49-00-5925 weighs 42 lbs when shipped, so it will be slightly less when the packaging is removed. Some ball mounts will use the same 5/8 inch hitch pin for the ball mount, but some manufacturers want to ensure that no product that isn't intended to work with the shank is used for safety. Because of this, the Fastway ball mount has a 3/4 inch pin at the ball mount platform and the 5/8 inch pin...

  • Whats Included with the Florida Gators Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover Part CTH4S
  • The Florida Gators receiver cover # CTH4S won't include a hitch receiver lock or hitch pin and clip, but I certainly would recommend one such as the Master Lock # 1480DAT. The pin and clip is part number # PC3 and will fit 2 and 2-1/2 inch receiver hitches. For 1-1/4 inch receivers the hitch pin and clip # PC2 and hitch receiver lock # e98880 would work great. They both have a pin diameter of a 1/2 inch. I included a few video reviews for you too.

  • Where is Draw-Tite Locking Hitch Pin for 3" Hitch Receivers Made
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63259 is made in China. If you're wanting something made in the States then I recommend checking out the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock for 3" Hitches # 34061074-D as an alternative. It doesn't have the same "push button" style of lock on it but it does fit a 3" hitch receiver, is made in the USA, and is backed by a 1-year warranty so the quality of the hitch pin is still top notch.
