Strattec BOLT 5/8" Receiver Hitch Lock for Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram — One-Key System, Stainless Pin

The Strattec BOLT 7018448 is a 5/8" receiver hitch lock that secures Class 3–5 trailers and opens with your vehicle ignition key to eliminate extra keys.

This receiver hitch lock from Strattec uses the BOLT (Breakthrough One-Key Lock) system so the same key that starts your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram can lock and unlock your hitch. Built for heavier towing setups, the 5/8" stainless steel pin fits 2" to 2.5" receivers and includes weather-resistant components that help keep the mechanism operating through use and exposure.

How does this lock let me use my vehicle key?

The BOLT system is designed to be keyed to your vehicle so you don’t carry a separate hitch key. When ordered or paired correctly it matches the tumbler pattern used by your vehicle’s ignition, giving you one key for both tasks.

• Works with factory keys for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram models (verify fit by year/make/model).
• Eliminates a separate receiver key from your ring.
• Auto-return spring secures the lock as soon as the key is removed.

Will this hold up to outdoor use and regular towing?

The lock is built with corrosion-resistant materials and protective features to withstand road conditions and weather. Stainless steel components and a protective jacket help reduce wear from moisture, dirt, and salt.

• Solid stainless steel 5/8" pin for Class 3–5 towing applications.
• Weather-resistant outer jacket protects the pin and hitch finish.
• Stainless steel shutter prevents grime from entering the cylinder.

Is this lock difficult to pick or force open?

Strattec incorporated several mechanical security elements to resist common attack methods. The cylinder and internal locking parts are engineered to increase resistance to picking, bumping and brute force.

• Plate tumbler sidebar design adds defense against picking and bumping.
• Double ball-bearing locking mechanism improves holding strength.
• Automotive-grade lock cylinder matches industry standards for vehicle locks.

What size receiver and towing classes is this compatible with?

The 5/8" pin diameter is intended for heavier-duty receivers and matches the dimensions commonly used on Class 3 through Class 5 hitches. Confirm your vehicle’s receiver size and towing class before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

• 5/8" stainless steel pin fits 2" to 2.5" receiver openings.
• Appropriate for Class 3, 4, and 5 towing applications.
• Check year/make/model fitment for key compatibility with your vehicle.

Who is this for: The Strattec BOLT 7018448 is aimed at owners of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram trucks and SUVs who tow with Class 3–5 hitches and prefer the convenience of using their vehicle key for hitch security. It’s a practical choice for fleet vehicles, frequent haulers, and anyone who wants a durable, keyed hitch lock without adding a separate key to their set.
