Match your truck key to this lock. Haven't tried it, but I'm about to.
That's great, I hate extra keys. I'll get one if you come back with a decent impression of it. Let us know how easy it is to use and set the key.

This is the one I've got.

I had trouble getting it. I ordered it from Amazon, but they sent one for a GM key. I returned it for replacement, and they sent one for a Toyota. I returned it for refund, and ordered elsewhere. I finally got the correct one.

When I tried to leave feedback, they deleted my feedback/comment.

Same here.

Every now and then I take the lock off and hit it with some lubricating oil. All my trucks have em. All still work just fine.

I've got one of these. Works. Looks decent. Comes in a couple different finishes, most importantly, black.

just wanted to thank everyone for their recommendations

I have ordered this one from Amazon based on not having to deal with an extra key and the positive feedback on Amazon.

That same lock came with my OEM bed ramps. Glad to see I can have everything using the same key. On my list of things to order.

I have a Anderson Rapid Hitch so I use this lock. You can't remove the key unless it's locked.

I have the Bolt hitch pin lock and 3 bolt padlocks. They work well, a little pricey but very convenient. Only Draw back is when you trade truck as they only fit truck key and I don't believe they can be programmed to a new key.
