Yakima HoldUp Hitch Pin Won't Go Through Toyota Tacoma Trailer Hitch
Question:
Dear ETrailer, On the Yakima replacement hitch pin Y8890200, when I install it on my 2010 Toyota Tacoma factory hitch, the hitch comes with an outer reinforcement sleeve that will not allow the pin tip to extend far enough to add the pin lock that I purchased from etrailer. By any chance, does Yakima make a longer pin that would extend perhaps another half inch or so, just to allow the lock to fit? Any ideas? What if I tried to remove the lock washer? Is the lock sufficient to hold the bolt in place? Thank you,

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the Toyota Tacoma has an extra large receiver sleeve which can cause issues with certain hitch pins as you have come to find out. I don't have a longer hitch pin for the Yakima HoldUp but we do have a way for you to use the rack with the factory hitch pin, it entails using an extension like the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension part # Y69VR.
I don't recommended modifying the hitch pin mechanism.
