• Where is Draw-Tite Locking Hitch Pin for 3" Hitch Receivers Made
• The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63259 is made in China.

• 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.

• 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.
