used to lock 5th wheel plate to 5th wheel hitch body. Worked just as I wanted. Good product, keyed alike, fair price. Thank you.

Used this to lock my Hitch Adapter to the 1.25" hitch of my 08 Honda Fit. Works great. Still had to get a hitch clamp due to too much play between the adapter and my hitch, but the lock does what it's supposed to do. Very easy to use and comes with (2) keys. Would highly recommend buying if you want to secure any accessory to your 1.25" hitch.
by: Ben H.04/10/2012
This product has some very subtle features that add substantially to it's functionality. There is no "UP" or "DOWN" for the key - it fits both ways! You can turn the lock end or the pin end to undo it - good if one side is difficult to reach! And I was able to buy three of them from etrailer.com that were all keyed alike! I have two Model Ts and a Model A all with trailer hitches for pulling a vintage camper and now I don't have to worry about having the right key when I go on a trip.
by: Mark01/26/2018
Purchased two of these for a custom dual 1.5" auxiliary receivers. Wasn't sure if it was going to fit because they have a 2" OD receiver, but these fit nice and snug. No slop or play which is exactly what I was looking for and they were keyed alike.
by: Juan 08/22/2023
Nice product, just had an issue when installing. item did not slide into the
receiver/hitch open hole smoothly had to tap it with a hammer also when removing it. This had to do with the hole alignment not the product.

Great! Lock still works great—haven’t had to use any lubricant at all. Still pleased with etrailer’s excellent customer service!!

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock came as promised and worked well on my 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The instructions for locking and unlocking were clear, and I now feel that my bike rack is safe and sound locked on the receiver. Great product!
by: Adam 03/27/2023
Excellent hitch lock. It’s feels like good quality and the lock, locks tight which I like. Bought 2 and had them both keyed the same, very happy with my purchase.

Special thanks to Goerge J. for expedititing my latest order. I am completely satisfied with all of the items that I ordered from etrailer and would recommend the entire package to anyone who wants to make their Chevy Trax a "little hauler". My next move is to go out and buy the trailer so that I can put all of those great products to work. Thanks again etrailer.

Bought my trailer from [store]. Pulled the 5x8 trailer from Colorado to Michigan and back and it went without a hitch you might say. At 400 lbs I hardly knew it was being pulled behind me and I would have to say that the whole package of items I purchased from etrailer performed flawlessly. Thanks again etrailer.
by: Jacqueline 07/30/2022
I just received the Hitch Receiver lock. I like the fact that you can lock it as opposed to the pin lock. I have not used it yet but so far ordering, delivery and product has been great. Thanks.

What do you do when you need three trailers coupler locks and two trailer hitch receiver locks all keyed the same.......order them from Etrailer.
Thanks for all your help Katie, awsome customer service!!!
by: Rhythmking09/30/2019
While this seems to be a sturdy, well-made product, it is not the optimum set-up for a Subaru Outback equipped with a factory-installed 1.25" hitch.
Quite simply, the pin hole drilled in the 1.25" section is not where it should be. In order for it to line up with the hole in the Subaru hitch, the hole would need to be another 1.5" or so closer to the "rear". Not that this doesn't work, for it does--- but with the unit sticking out yet another 1.5" or so from the hitch. To remedy this, I drilled another half inch hole into the unit where it should be located. Now it works great, but it took considerable effort (and a $20 titanium drill bit) to get it right.
Again, this unit will work in a Subaru Outback without drilling another hole in it; it's just not optimal.
by: Layne02/08/2022
This is an easy lock to use, and stows really well whenever it's not in use, and is well constructed! I look forward to many more years of good use. I especially like that I was able to get it keyed to match a similar lock for my 2" hitch!
by: Michael 12/01/2022
Because this product screws on tight I feel our bicycle rack and bicycles are better protected from being stolen.

etrailer.com has an incredible selection, web site, and knowledgable customer service to match. I needed keyed alike hitch receiver locks for a 2" and 1"1/4 receivers, because I move by bike rack between 2 vehicles.They answered my email request the same day and were able to provide the EXACT solution I needed. I would not have been able to get this solution from any of the big box stores. The product shipped quickly, worked like a charm, and was exactly what I needed. This is the second successful order I have made from etrailer.com and will definitely use them again.
by: James Pomeroy01/26/2012
Great service ... the young ladies whom I dealt with at Etrailer were courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. After placing my initial order, I shortly recognized the advisability of adding a bolt-lock to the order (it WAS suggested to me by the young lady who first took my order but I declined it) --- I appreciated the effort Tamara in Customer Service put into modifying my order and still getting everything shipped the same day. The items arrived at my house in western New York State sooner than I expected. I was able to install the hitch to the underside of my 2007 Honda Fit with reasonable effort -- I am very satisfied with the hitch too. I haven't actually used the platform bike carrier yet but will do so in a few days and I think I will be pleased with it. I'm also glad I got the bolt-lock.
by: Barry 06/19/2021
This lock has different way of unlocking and locking by turning the key in the lock until it opens or is locked. Not a bad thing as the lock appears to have excellent security against attempts to break it by thieves. The finish on the lock appears to have good protection against the elements. All hitch locks should be designed this well. The one that matches it is the Bulldog hitch lock for a 2 inch receiver.
by: Donna08/02/2020
Great lock. I like the way it snugs tight on the receiver. This will be a big help in securing our pair of Pedego electric bikes on our RV. Also, Ashley was terrific in understanding what I needed (two different size locks), and my desire for both being keyed the same. She put our order together so there wasn't a lot I had to do. Five stars Ashley

Product works as described. Did have to drill hole as hitch lock would not otherwise fit my Kuat Sherpa 2.0 rack
by: Denny L.06/21/2017
Needed 11/4 hitch for my Prius to carry bike rack. It installed easily with no drilling,instructions were clear & easy to follow. By all means use a little dish soap to makeremoval of muffler hanger easier. The Drawtite hitch is very well made.

by: Keith04/05/2022
Doesn't fit through the receiver and the extension to lock it onto my car so it pretty much worthless. Cannot seem to make contact with anyone at e-trailer to return it

- Fix for Exhaust Rattle After Installing the # C11000 Hitch on a 2010 Volkswagen GTIExhaust rattles do occur on some vehicles. I have not had the opportunity to install this hitch on the GTI yet so I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite. He stated that the exhaust was taken into account when designing the hitch and that they have had no complaints about exhaust rattles from customers who have installed the hitch. The instructions for the # C11000 hitch show that hitch will be sandwiched between the rear exhaust hanger and the vehicle frame member. This repositioning should...

For a 1-1/4" receiver, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches - Flush - 2-1/8" Span - Chrome # e98879 you were looking at will work just fine since it has a 2-1/8" span and a 1/2" diameter pin to fit in the hitch pin hole.

Using a hitch adapter like part # HTAD does reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. This means for towing you would be limited to a trailer that weighs less than 1,000 lbs and a tongue weight about 100 lbs. If the weight of your bikes and bike rack together do not exceed 100 lbs, the HTAD would work...

If it is hollow then you can use locking hitch pin # e98879. But if the shank is not hollow then you will need to use a regular anti-rattle device like # MPG908 and lock # 5200. I must warn you that the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. So if the combined weight of the bike rack and bikes is more than half the tongue weight capacity of the hitch you should not use...
