Locking Hitch Pin Option for the Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack on a 2014 Subaru Outback

Question:

I now am the proud owner of a drawtite 75673 receiver hitch and a Thule Vertex Th 3031 4 bike hitch mounted rack on a 2014 Subaru Outback. I want to know which hitch lock will fit this combination of items?

I do have an option for you, however, the Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack has a threaded hitch pin hole that prevents standard locking hitch pins from fitting through the shank. Instead, you will want the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock, # THSTL2. This anti-rattle locking hitch pin will replace the threaded hitch pin that came with your Vertex bike rack and it includes 2 keys. Additional keys are available separately or, if you were to lose your keys, they can be purchased as replacements in the future using the key number stamped on the keys and lock.
