Hitch mount recovery suggestions??

Hopefully i can get enough suggestions before the black friday sales end but what are some popular hitch mounted recovery options??

 

Factor 55 is American made and a fantastic company, here is their hitch recovery point (~$83)
If you don't want to spend that much, Rhino USA is also a pretty good company in my opinion, USA based but make their stuff overseas... except they have an exceptional no questions asked lifetime warranty, here is their hitch recovery point ($46)

I personally use Factor55 for my winch, but I have Rhino USA for their hitch receiver, I also use their tow straps and soft shackles, its all been great stuff from both companies

what do you guys think about this one?
it says made in the USA too

 

I've never seen their stuff in person, but I've followed their instagram for awhile now, it looks pretty good, just no idea in person wise

 

whatever you do end up getting, pick up

$36 ‎BOLT BREAKTHROUGH ONE-KEY LOCK TECHNOLOGY 7023584 5/8' Receiver Lock for Toyota Keys

this hitch pin lock ($38), it keys to the tundra ignition key, so you don't have to have a bunch of extra keys, I love mine

 

does that mean somebody with a Tundra key could simply come up and unlock the pin??

 

no, each truck key is unique to that truck, no one else can unlock it besides any key that is matched to your truck

 

well sh*t whoever designed the Bolt pin lock deserves a pat on the back.

 

I just bought this, should be here next week:

Agency6 is likely Factor55 direct competition. Good stuff.

 

I’ve had two of these pins, they work really well and obviously handy to not need to have another key or combination. These do not work with the newer push start mini backup keys FYI. I also leave a factor55 shackle hitch in most of the time and put a big zip tie on preventing the shackle from being easily unbolted.

 

I have the agency6 one. Haven't gotten to use it yet other than messing around, but it seems very well made.

 

They make padlocks too, I keep a couple in the truck for camping and locking up things around the site when we leave for a day.

I use the hitch pin year round and the cap/cover presents rust and dust buildup.

Awesome stuff.

 

I have these for my hitch as well as the coupler and swing tongue on our boat trailer, they are nice and I have no complaints. But like it was stated in post #12, they are not compatible with the newer push button start backup key. If I'm not mistaken, BOLT will also give you a discount on a new set of locks should you get a new vehicle. I would have done this when I got my truck since our locks are keyed to my wifes Yukon, but since my truck is push button start I just had a cheap door key made from the Yukon immobilizer key and I keep that with my truck fob.

 

Only thing that concerns me a tad is from what I've read in the reviews, any Toyota key would work even after you set the lock...

 

i just ordered mine the other day!
made in the USA is the way to go

 

all good.. thanks for the offer.

 

I think most units have 6 pins and is setup unique to the Toyota shaped key. It’s possible another key would have identical positions for those 6 pins, but most keys would be marginally different enough that some high percentage would not work. I think thieves would go a more efficient way to remove this lock, like a big pipe could likely rip off the keyed part (vs sitting there trying a bunch of keys to see if they work) or 5 seconds with a angle grinder.
