Sooooo frustrated trying to get hitch pin rating

Nothing worse than researching something for hours that should be so easy to find out and not finding the answer. Bought a Bolt locking hitch pin so ignition key matches the lock. Amazing that even the website of Bolt won't show a dang rating!!!

This world is crazy when it comes to "ratings". Bought a rear mount winch for my truck and want to make sure I dont shear the pin. I once read they are really strong and shear ratings are way on up there. Still.... I want to know.

Warn is the WORSE at ratings. Have a 12,000 pound winch and winch mount that has hooks on the front. Couldn't find out what the tow hooks were rated for. After pounding Warn over and over I finally got 8500 pounds. What???

You sell a winch mount for a 12000 pound winch with a hook rated for 8500? Asking for a lawsuit there...

  • Are you talking about the pin that slides through a receiver hitch?
