Securing Trailer and Hitch Mounted Accessories to 2022 Subaru Crosstrek EcoHitch Receiver 306-X7365
Question:
Item # 306-X7365 I see no way to secure my trailer. All it takes is some one with a 15/16 or 24mm socket and ratchet to remove what I am towing ... Did you guys find a way to lock and key the receiver tube???

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you as EcoHitch does not offer any type of lock for the removable receiver for their EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365. As you will be towing a trailer you can use a Padlock # ML140DLH to secure the tire chains to the receiver chain hoops. As most trailer chains are welded to the trailer frame this will require a lot more effort for the person looking to steal your trailer.
For hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack you can use a Cable Lock # e98891 to secure it to your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek.
