Features

  • Locking hitch pin prevents clanking noise and drive train stress

Description

Enjoy a safer and quieter towing experience. The incessant rattle that results when you install your ball mount onto your receiver isn’t just annoying – it puts unnecessary stress on your drive train. The QuietRide™ Tightening Hitch Pin eliminates your troubles by creating a secure attachment and eradicating the slack that is at the root of these issues.

Haul your trailer, toy box or speedboat with all of the security and ease provided by the QuietRide advantage. The difference comes from the 5/8-inch stainless steel bolt and unique 2 dimensional cinching action. This pulls the nut tightly into the receiver to create a substantially more secure bond. Leaving behind the rattle that follows you around every start, stop and turn! Designed to fit hollow 2” ball mounts, the QuietRide Tightening Hitch Pin features a solid brass lock and stainless steel hitch pin for maximum durability. Backed by a Lifetime warranty.

I have been using this device for several years with great success. After purchasing a new vehicle recently, I discovered the hitch was recessed farther under the rear bumper. After researching my alternatives, I decided to purchase a short hitch extender. This addition added a "loose link" to my hitch setup so I decided to secure it with a second Quietride hitch pin. This product not only provides the security of an excellent lock, it tightens everything up so there is no play or noise. Fantastic!

Really great product. Super easy to install and less expensive than some of the other similar item out there. One tip that helped me is to remember to put on the lock before you tighten the pin. I had trouble trying to install lock after it was tight.

We purchased a Softride Bike Rack - but needed a hitch extender to get past the spare tire on our Rav4. Using this Locking Hitch Pin with the extender makes it very secure, and it doesn't move at ALL, or make ANY noise. It seemed a little expensive, but is a very good quality. And after seeing some 'cheaper' versions in stores, we are very happy we choose this item.

This locking hitch pin is not designed to be removed every time you drop your trailer.This locking pin works great. It tightens up so that there is no rattle or vibration.

They work great, takes a little time to install compared to what people use traditionally but that's to be expected. I highly recommend them if you really want your load secured!

The only difficulty I had was locking the device. I bought two locks. I was able to lock one but not the other. The one I was not able to lock was tightened to the max and it still would not lock. However, it it is so tight that I do not fear someone taking the hitch cover. It still did not do as advertized, which is to lock.
