Pin size for 2 1/2" heavy duty hitch?

[cdwales]

Lost the pin for OEM 2 1/2" hitch on 2018 3500 Ram dually. Need a new bent pin with swivel latch no lock. Suggestions please?

Pretty sure the pins are the same size. I used my old pin from my old 1500 on my new 2500

Same pin diameter but because the receiver is half an inch wider some hitch pins are too short to get the safety clip on or the latch flipped over. Sorry no specific suggestions except to make sure the pin us listed for a 2.5" receiver.

If the reason for not wanting a locking pin is loosing the key, the Bolt locking pin sets itself to the truck's door key.

This is what I use. 5/8" and is long enough for the 2.5" receiver.

Thanks for the info. OI just orderred one from Amazon Canada, 40 bucks. Great solution to too damn many keys.

They make a hitch lock also for locking the trailer coupler, I have them both.

I have a wack of same keyed Master locks that I use on gates, trailers etc. Only need one key and easy to have it on every set for each vehicle. Also means no matter what vehicle you are in, you can open the lock. I saw the keyed padlock and thought it was a great solution for guys that use very few padlocks, and lock stuff mostly to their vehicles.

Just got my Hitch pin from Amazon. Keyed it to the truck key. Works perfect and it would be a beggar to get off. VERY happy with this product. I can see many of my buddies getting the same thing. We all have been using a grade 6 bolt and nylon nut to make the hitch hard to remove but still changeable, this will be WAY slicker and even more secure.
