OEM Hitch and 1UP Locking Hitch Pin

[Hinxster]

There isn’t enough space between the MY trailer electrical connector and the side of the OEM hitch to use 1UP’s locking hitch pin. ☹ Inserting the locking pin from the right side of the hitch receiver leaves zero room to attach and secure the key lock. It’s also impossible to insert the pin from the left side.

For those of you using a 1UP or other hitch mounted MTB rack, how are you locking the rack to your MY OEM hitch to prevent theft?

Not an answer, but I believe I saw people talking about 1UP providing an adapter upon request. Try searching the forums and I'll do the same.

Thanks. I looked and couldn’t find anything similar.

If 1UP knows it's for a Model Y when you order, they will send an appropriate hitch pin.

If they don't know and send the wrong hitch pin, they used to send the right one for free. I think they charge you something now, though.

You can also buy other locking hitch pins that will work on the Y, for example THIS.

Great info. Thank you!
