Locking hitch pin

[usuzukuri]

My old hitch pin is too short for the GX. Could you share what you're using as hitch pin /w lock?

Thanks.

I actually ran into this exact issue last week towing my 2k2. The locking pin included with my U-Haul hitch was too short and I planned to run to the store the next day but while I was packing for my trip and digging through the trunk I found that Lexus included one in the hidden compartment under the trunk! Hopefully your GX has one too.

Very happy with this one's fit and quality.

thanks @LucBroDude. I'll check. However, I'm in texas so I'll need a lockable hitch pin

Thanks @GX550Key, I'll check that out. Does this fit with the plastic cover on?

Yes, but I have ordered safety chain hook carabiner clips because safety chains hard to put with locking pin in place. https://www.amazon.com/Threaded-Tra...ook+carabiner+clip,automotive,282&sr=1-3&th=1

Which trim do you have? Overtrail? I’ve seen Overtrail owners report of finding a Lexus Factory Pin, but I’ve had no luck yet on my Premium Plus.

Weird, I can't find one included in mine.

I use this one so the trailer coupler key matches the hitch pin. I also use two quick links to make it easier to chain up.

I use this one. 90 degree lock helps

I would prefer that, but there is no coupler lock

This is what I used on mine > Locking hitch pin with matching coupler lock?

This is the other thread on that part...

I have the Premium Plus trim. It was sitting underneath the trunk where the small compartment is.

What do you mean by coupler lock? The other post here says he has a couple lock but I don't see much difference from the part I posted.

Yeah, the GX has a really non-standard receiver design. I had to get out the grinding wheel to reshape the pin on my bike rack to fit.
