locking hitch pin for 2.5" receiver

[max2bob]

i am looking for recommendations for a good quality hitch pin lock for a 2.5" receiver. my old one from 2" receiver does not fit and need to find a high quality new one. looking on amazon a lot of the locking pins have bad reviews as far as them seizing up and not being able to remove them. any advice would be appreciated.

+1 on the Bolt Locks. I use them on both the truck receiver and the receiver on the rear of our Eagle TT to secure the bike rack. A bit pricey but work really well and love that they can be so easily keyed to your ignition key.

The only gotcha is that unless they have changed recently, they cannot be reprogrammed/re-keyed should you get a new vehicle. I lease my trucks and luckily, my dealer let me keep one of the keys from my old vehicle when the lease was up so I wouldn't have to buy new locks.

FWIW - some have reported that the bend on the hitch pin can cause the pin hole in the receiver to "wear" or "oval" out, as the pin is much harder than the receiver metal. I installed a collar on my pin to keep the bend on the pin from contacting the receiver.
