      Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

      Using this lock with my Yakima Double Down 2 on an 06' 4Runner. This is a good lock for the money and peace of mind. When installing it I had to remove the safety pin from the hitch pin, install the lock, then replace the pin. It took a few attempts to sort this one out. Overall this is a must have product.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

        The hitch pin for my Double Down rack screws in for some unknown reason. The first time I used this lock, I forgot it was on the hitch pin. I unscrewed the pin using the 6-inch sheet metal wrench included with the hitch, and the lock broke off of the other end with minimal resistance. The only benefit I can see to this produce is that it gives the *appearance* that your hitch is locked.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

          The Yakima Hitch Lock does exactly what its supposed to do. But why is it is so expensive?[$] For that reason alone I would avoid Yakima products from now on, but as far as durability, ease of use, reliabilty, this thing is good.

              Comments about Yakima Hitch Lock:

              While this appears like a great lock, the security comes from the appearance of it being locked. It is somewhat expensive compared to what you can get at [...]. The lock has a tendency to fall of if it has not latched correctly. I have lost mine at this point somewhere on the road as I thought it was latched and it was not.The Yakima rack I have uses a bolt that takes a one inch wrench to put on or off. Using the same wrench, the lock will easily break off without you knowing it.With the price, usability, and security of this lock, I would not recommend purchasing it. If you need to lock your hitch to your car, find something more secure.
