The Silent Hitch Pin from Let's Go Aero takes the rattle and play out of the connection between your trailer hitch and your ball mount or hitch accessory. The unique design features a sturdy steel block with an attached spring that sits inside the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory.
Place the block inside your ball mount or hitch accessory, and line up the hole in the block with the pin hole in your ball mount. Slide your ball mount into your hitch and insert the hitch pin. To activate the anti-rattle device, just twist the pin to tighten it down. Doing this will pull the accessory up against the wall of your hitch receiver, thus keeping the accessory from moving around inside your hitch. No more annoying clanking or vibrating.
The 90 degree lock goes on the end of the anti-rattle pin to provide security for your hitch-mounted accessories. It swivels for easy access in tight spaces. Two rubber-coated, stainless steel keys are included with the lock. A sturdy rubber dust cap comes attached to the barrel lock so that you can easily cover the lock cylinder, thus ensuring that no dirt or grime will get in to damage the lock.

Super fast delivery, great instructional videos, excellent products! The anti rattle hitch pin in combination with the BW hitch is outstanding! Hitch works great with GMC multi pro tailgate.

Finally found a lock that will work on the new Toyota Sequoia hitch. You should add the Sequoia to your description, I know others have had issues finding on that works. Great service as always.
by: Robert05/30/2019
I recently got a 2019 Tacoma SR5 and needed to purchase a locking pin for an adapter I purchased for my mtb rack that fits 1 1/4”. I first bought the standard size locking pin for this brand, the one that is about an inch shorter. It wasn’t long enough for my 2 inch receiver so I had to return it. I then re-purchased this XL version which is about an inch longer. This works perfectly as I can now fit the locking mechanism on the end of the pin. If you have a 2016+ Tacoma, then you need this locking pin to fit the receiver. Happy so far as I just tested it out today and had no wobble.

The lock nut will not retain the tightness desired to keep the hitch quiet, disappointed to day the least.
by: Ken07/24/2023
Bought this to extend my bike rack away from the truck camper door. Added a anti rattle clamp and yhe setup has been perfect.
by: GOOD HITCH LOCK.11/19/2014
I have a CURT CL-3 hitch # 13650 and this hitch lock was the only one that fit. It needed the XL size. My hitch has 2 holes on the receiver. One on the left and one on the right side. The left side is a small hole with threads and the right side is a bigger hole and this lock fits. Easy to install and works well. Ships fast.

No more Rattle in my case. i keep one 5/8 key in my trunk to remove trailer hitch
by: Kenneth 07/10/2023
Much nicer than regular rattling hitch pins, plus more secure.
by: Tom04/23/2020
At first I thought how is this going to work? But once I read the instructions, the product is she pretty ingenious. Went together very easy and works great.
by: Ronald 08/12/2021
Perfect fit for my needs.I have a 2 1/2" receiver with a reducer to 2" and there is no rattle of any kind even with an extension of 14" (to be able to open tailgate) and the bike rack.
by: John10/07/2022
Great product and keeps our bike racks from rattling around with the hitch reducer. Held up will over the past year.
One thing to keep in mind is that this style anti-rattle lock will NOT work with bike racks or other attachments unless they are hollow. That being said, it will NOT work with any Kuat rack or extension unless you remove their internal anti-rattle mechanism.
by: Michael 09/25/2023
No noise or rattling around at all. This is well worth the time and money.
by: Herold08/28/2020
This product was bought to allow me to use my Reese Eclipse bike rack on my 2500 Dodge Ram truck. The truck came with the standard 2.5 hitch package and the original anti rattle pin only fits a standard 2 inch hitch. Now to wait for my next trip to try this lock and pin set up.

After a year the lock is working great. I wish I could use it more but the pandemic has slowed my travel plans.
by: Ginger05/31/2018
Fair for light duty. Works when used to tow my boat or bike trailer.
But when I put one on my tow hitch to tow my truck behind our motorhome it didn't last ill be trip.
The threads locked up and it had to be cut off.
Unfortunately I bought a few of these before I discovered how weak they are.

Lets Go Aero recommends using a petroleum-based lubricant on the threaded portion of the lock to prevent it from seizing.
by: Jackie R.04/12/2016
So far, so good. The receiver lock was a little difficult to install, had a hard time getting it to thread initially, was rather frustrating, but after taking it out and putting it back in a couple of times, we were able to finally get it to tighten. Then we were unable to get the key out of the lock unless we loosened it about a half turn with a wrench - so looks like we will have to be sure we have the right size wrench in the toolbox if we ever need to take it off because when it is tightened securely, you can't get the key to come out of the lock. Other than that, it seems to work great, no rattle and the lock is definitely secure. The cap over the lock is a great feature too.

Nope - had to literally destroy it the 2nd time we tried to take it off, couldnt get it to unlock. Total trash.
by: Tim 08/19/2023
No more hitch rattling. Even on our gravel road.
by: Jack 03/15/2023
Holds the insert tight in the receiver so no rattling when not in use. Very solid and seems well made.
by: Jack 12/04/2020
This locking anti-rattle pin is the best! So great that I have bought three over several years. Will not rust, looks good though years of service. Highly recommend!

Great with no problems!
by: Arnold12/18/2020
Unfortunately I was not able to use the actual locking mechanism to antirattle due to the way my hitch was set up but I did use the pin with the locking cap and the sleeve that goes over the actual pin itself disintegrated within three months of use. Even though the locking cap had a rubber cover over the keyhole it still needs to be lubricated Several times in order for me to be able to continue using the lock because it would stick and not be able to open.
Overall it was a poor quality and poor design in my opinion.
by: Christopher 11/03/2022
This is perfect and stop the rattling hitch. I purchased this because I have Rock Tamers on a 2021 F-350 nothing else that I found would work.

- Will the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 Fit My 2" ReducerThe Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # 63232 could fit on your 2" reducer but it will depend on how the reducer fits onto your 2 1/2" hitch. If the holes for the reducer lines up with the holes from your hitch, the lock will not fit. If the reducer's holes are away from the holes on your hitch it will fit. If the holes from the hitch and the reducer do line up, you will need the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span...

This not only stabilizes the ball mount in the hitch receiver, but it also provides a locking hitch pin to help deter theft.
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device for Weigh Safe Ball Mounts for 2-1/2 Inch Trailer HitchesYou are correct, you would not be able to use locking anti-rattle device # SHP2040-XL on a Weigh Safe adjustable ball mount for 2-1/2 inch hitches because of the solid shank. And that is why we do not recommend it as a related product on any of the 2-1/2 inch Weigh Safe ball mount pages. For anti-rattle you would need to use something such as the Blue Ox Hitch Immobilizer, # BX88225, which takes out accessory movement within the receiver vertically and horizontally rather than just one...

If you are using a hollow shank ball mount, I recommend using XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040 to reduce movement. If it is a solid shank, then I recommend Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR which wedges itself between the ball...

- Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a 2-1/2 inch HitchWe've had customers have the U-bolt of the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 facing up and down and it has worked just fine. I would probably use it in the configuration you referenced. That way the # RM-062 isn't supporting the tongue weight of the setup. Since this is only recommended for flat-towing setups you would be better of with the Blue Ox Immobilizer II part # BX88225 since this can be used for towing a trailer. If your ball mount is hollow another you...

The B&W has a hollow shank which is required to use this anti-rattle lock.
view full answer... - Solution for a XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock that Won't ReleaseIt sounds like some corrosion may have worked it's way into the latching mechanism of the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL that you have installed on your truck. The best advice I can give would be to liberally apply a spray lubricant like WD40 to the lock and the locking mechanism so that that it will free it up and allow it to release. Maybe some light tapping with a rubber mallet will help as well. After letting the lubricant set on the lock for a while I would...
view full answer... - Will XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Fit 3 Inch Hitch ReceiverThe Gen-Y Iron Grip Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # GY49FR (part GH-023 you mentioned) is designed for solid shanks but the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL uses that block that sits inside a hollow shank so the shank is puled tight to the side of the receiver. The usable pin length of this part is 3-7/8" which should be more than enough for your 3" receiver but it doesn't hurt to double check on your end. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

There is another solution to give you the swing-away feature you need for camper access.

Let's Go Aero also offers an extra-long version for 2-1/2-inch hitches, part # SHP2040-XL. Both of these anti-rattle devices require that the shank of the hitch-mount accessory be hollow not solid. Please see the linked video.

We do have the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL which will help eliminate the play between the receiver on your 2018 Ram 2500 and the ball mount. This will not eliminate all the play in the ball mount since it does have the additional pins.

If you ball mount has an opening then this pin will work well. However, if you have a solid ball mount shank, then the best option would be to replace the reducer adapter with a ball mount that will fit a 2-1/2 inch receiver opening. The Reese Titan Ball Mount, # 45123, will fit a 2-1/2 inch receiver. This ball mount has a 3-1/2...

The # 63080 is specially designed to fit Draw-Tite 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. We do not have any similar products designed to fit factory OEM trailer hitches. As long as the ball mount that you use to tow your trailer is hollow, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 for you. This threaded hitch pin works...

A Reducer is needed to work with the rack, you may need an anti rattle device for the reducer to the hitch that is 2.5" as well. This will minimize any movement that may occur when using the added Reducer. I suggest using the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long Part # HR26, with the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span Part...

Towing a trailer produces more tongue weight than flat towing a vehicle and this device is not rated for the additional stress. Other customers have used the Blue Ox Hitch Immobilizer, # BX88225, which stops rattle horizontally and vertically. Or you could get a lock and...

I recommend using the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long # HR26 which will allow for the bike rack anti-rattle and security to fully function as designed. I do recommend the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040-XL
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Using a Reducer SleeveFor the 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch using a reducer sleeve you will need an anti-rattle device with a longer pin to compensate for the wider hitch.

view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Rattle Device Compatible With Toyota OEM HitchToyota uses thicker steel in their OEM 2 inch receivers, so many hitch accessories that are meant to fit around or through the receiver wont work with Toyota's OEM hitch. This is why the # 63080 will not work for you. We do however offer an anti-rattle device/locking hitch pin that works great with the Toyota factory hitch.

Normally we would recommend the part # 63232.

The stinger that holds the rack into the receiver will not work on a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver.
