Anyone know of a good hitch locking pin for our trucks?

So I tried to install my shackle on my hitch today. To my suprise the 3rd gen hitch is a different size once again! The 2nd gen was an odd size already, and now Toyota has again decided to make their hitch unique.

Anyone know or have a link to a good (Hopefully Black) Locking pin for the tow hitch?
Something like this would be nice!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

This one fits. Saw your post before tossing the packaging. It’s chrome but I bet they have other colors.

 

Get one of these:

I'm running this black lockable pin purchased from Amazon.

I use this too. Mine's going on 3 years where it's been in the receiver 1/2 the time.

 

Do you use it? I put in my '18 and Amazon says it doesn't fit.

 

This is it. Using the ignition key rocks.

 

Works perfectly.

 

Nothing fits my 19 on Amazon. Read the questions or reviews, a lot will mention how the Amazon fit system sucks.

 

Are you using a laser cut key with this pin lock? The product info indicates it is not compatible with certain keys, and PTS newer laser keys are ones not supported.

 

I like this one. I don’t have to worry about keys. Have had for several months and have had zero issues.

What would happen it you had a smart key?

 

I have a normal key, cut on both edges.

Hahaha. Not in this house. I hate those things.

The exception is Tesla where my phone is the key.

 

On my F150 I just used a bolt and a nylock nut.If someone is mental enough to steal that they can have it. Plus I don't about tumblers getting fouled up with shite.

 

Have been going the cheapest way for many years . Just drill a larger hole in a regular long hitch pin . Buy locks in sets so as to have matching key for several things , like the trailer ball lock . IE the trailer hitch ball receiver may be locked to the truck but the trailer is not locked to the ball .
Note the black lines were just magic marker lines of where the pin sits in the hitch . before drilling

 

Yep, my Tacoma hitch seems to be a weird size as well. The lock I bought from a hardware store was a tad short to go through the hitch and latch properly. I was too lazy to return it so I put the long pin part in a drill, put the drill in a vise, and used an angle grinder to shave an 1/8” off the boss only (not the shaft, just the thick part at the end) Basically did a Poor Mans lathe job on it but it fits well now.

 

I keep forgetting autos have a push to start button.

 

Fess up, the Tesla is your wife's.
