Wrong Length for vehicle

Pros:

Cons:

I submitted my vehicle information (2025 Toyota Landcruiser) when ordering. Unfortunately, the tow hitch locking pin I received is too short for the vehicle's frame. Do you have a longer pin available?
Response from StowAway2 Cargo Carriers: Thank you for the feedback. Our hitch lock is a universal style with clearance for hitches up to 3" thick, as stated on the product details page. Unfortunately, some newer style Toyota's have built-up hitches that are too thick to be compatible with our hitch lock. Please contact us to arrange for a refund on your hitch lock purchase.

Shipping Cost

Somehow I ordered two hitch locks, only needed one but due to the design of my hitch they do not fit. So when attempting to return I was informed I had to pay for shipping, after prying over $1k, for a $24 return. Disappointing customer service.
Response from StowAway Cargo Carriers: Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, as noted on the Hitch Lock product page, the design and location of certain van hitch plugs limits clearance for the style of hitch lock we sell. If your hitch plug is installed too close to your hitch, we recommend a hitch lock with the key on the side of the pin.

Extra peace of mind

Pros:

Easy to install
well made

Cons:

I wish the carrier came with this hitch lock to begin with, but it's affordable and so I don't mind having purchased it as an extra. I think it's worth the extra minimal expense to have the extra peace of mind.

The lock works great to prevent anyone from removing the cargo carrier without the key. I would hate to see my favorite Swing Away to disappear.
