Recommendations for anti-rattle hitch pins

[chancellor]

Does anyone have an idea of what hitch pins will fit?

The hitch receiver on the new 2024 LC is real thick (3.5") which doesn't work with the pins for my bike rack or cargo carrier.

I have a Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack. The anti-rattle pin that came with it can just barely grab 1/4 of a turn if I leave a washer off, but it doesn't feel very secure. The cotter pin can barely clip on the other side

My Curt cargo carrier uses a bolt, but it is too short to reach

found similar ponlwm with RockyMount swing away hitch carrier. Just ordered XL hitch pin from them that should do the trick.

Sorry for lousy dictation: “problem.”

Did you end up finding a solution? I’m having the same issue and I’m not sure which bolt to get

The pin and lock that came with my Kuat piston pro is long enough and works great. Maybe talk to Kuat and ask. You could also order a new one from etrailer.com, they have some nice locking pins with keys that can be operated with one hand.

The XL hitch bolt above worked great for my Kuat

I got one of these and it works for the Curt

I was using my friend’s RockyMount and had to order the XL hitch pin from them as his was too short.
I then bought a Kuat and the hitch pin is plenty long enough to use the lock/holder it came with. Good luck!

A possible fix is in the works. I've provided input for this hitch pin issue on the LC.

From a Company I've traded dollars with. Solid products and great customer service.

Folks if you have a yakima rack and need a larger hitch pin heres what I got from Yakima customer service:

“Thank you for reaching out to Yakima. I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you… Toyota changed their hitch, and didn't tell us, so we had to come up with a longer bolt, Which we have. What is your address and phone number, and I can send you one.”

Much better than what kuat told me. Basically they said you are on your own. We can’t help.

Saris said they don't make an extended one anymore. I asked if they could look into it. I need one that is threaded 1/2" x 13 and about 5 to 5-1/2 inches long for a lock end for my superclamp 4 ($1k) bike rack (no longer make this Threaded Hitch Pin). Anyone with ideas?

Just ended up ponying up and buying the Stable Lock one, expensive but should keep my rack and bikes safe.

Update: The Pakmule one came. Well made with features like stay in place spring design, and a little lip that keeps it in place where the holes is on both sides. Very happy with it!

Yakama said, "Sorry Saris said they cannot help you, we'll send you a pin and see if it works." For free! It didn't work because of the threads were different.

But if anyone in the Detroit area needs an extended Yakama bolt, i have it. PM me.
