What size hitch pin is needed to secure this into a class iii receiver? I bought the hitch pin that was suggested and so far haven't had luck with it.

not sure...no problems with mine, but, i bought another rugged ridge hook tow hitch that would only fit one of three receivers we have...on assorted vehicles. it is probably poor manufacturing tolerances and maybe too much paint..? pin it with a good, slightly smaller, bolt?

This was a real mess. I had several unfruitful conversations with Go Rhino. Then I got lucky. Most receiver hitches are drilled for a 5/8" pin as is the receiver. The Go Rhino I believe is 9/16." The next lockable size down I think is 1/2" for smaller receivers. We were getting ready to drill the Go Rhino out to make the 5'8" lock pin work when my friend suggested we try the 5/8" lock pin. Surprisingly, it fit. My non locking 5/8" hitchpins did not. We had to shim the Go Rhino with some self adhesive loop side velcro strips to snug it into the receiver. My 5/8" locking pin is actually 9/16." The one I have is Reese Professional 5/8" Stainless Steel Receiver Lock. Model # 70302. I think I got it at Academy Sports. If not there, I probably got it at O"Reilly Auto Parts.

When you stick the pin in the receiver, it hangs out the other side about an inch. Hope this helps. This is a really nice pin that I like a lot. It's by far the best receiver pin I have owned and I have owned several over the years.

Yes, if your receiver is for a 2" X 2" hitch and I do not know what your refering to, as anti tip, but in case it is the stowing position, then you must have the required chain size holes for the stow lock to go into, otherwise you'll be like me, unable to use this item unless you are to install and remove iot from your vehicle, as you cannot lock it in stowed up position.

I have a Hidden Hitch Class 1 #60869 with a 1 1/4" square receiver. The Swagman works with either 1 1/4" or 2" receiver. Also got the Swagman 1/2" locking hitch pin so the bike rack cannot be easily stolen.

I just went to Auto Zone and purchased one labeled for a 2" hitch. I think it is standard and any 2" hitch pin will work. It was like 5-10 bucks.

It does not come with a hitch pin. I purchased (separately) a Tow Ready Silver Locking Silent Hitch Pin for 2" Receivers that works great with it.

Yes, I bought this unit for my Geo Tracker which has a 1 1/4 " receiver hitch. Tip...put the unit on a flat surface and do not tighten until assembled.

The pin we use for the bike hitch and other receivers has a lock that is opened with a key. You'll want to keep it clean and lubricated. Google has a variety of options. Amazon lists this one along with several others. just ask for hitch pin with a key as you use your search engine or amazon.: 1/2" Key-Locking Hitch Pin for 1-1/4" Class I/II Hitch Receivers

This is a class 3 hitch. It will use a 2"X2" square tube accesory. This item is well worth the money and only took me about 20 minutes to install. Looks and works just like OEM. Hope this helps

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

Check at www.curtmfg.com, find their tech support phone number. I don't think Curt has a 2.5" receiver. Also check the web for a Reese brand hitch, I know they have some 2.5" Class V receivers, you'll have to check for your truck.

This will fit on a 2" receiver , so if the receiver is smaller it will not work, you will need a different lock pin size!

It's a category 1 hitch and comes with standard 7/8" draw pins on the bottom. You'll need a couple standard category 1 lynch pins, however. On the top I used a standard 4 1/2" x 3/4" diameter top link pin and lynch pin.

I am not sure how you are putting it into the receiver? But I have a smittybilt 3/4" d-ring I attach mine to, that attaches to a 2" hitch and goes into my receiver.

I have a class 2 hitch. I'm sure you could get an adaptor to make it work. I had a friend that did just that. It's a great hitch.

This works with our receiver hitch. If you are using a regular 2 inch hitch I know it would work. It takes the place of a regular pin.
