HITCH SAFE Extended Hitch Bolts HS7021T — 2-Pack .650in Shaft, 1.00in Extension for Thick Weld Receivers

HitchSafe HS7021T is a pair of extended hitch bolts engineered to give extra reach for thicker weld-style receivers, providing a secure connection for heavy trucks and large SUVs.

When a standard hitch pin or short bolt won't clear a deep-weld or thicker receiver, the HS7021T offers the extra length and larger shaft needed to fasten locks and accessories reliably. These bolts are purpose-built to work with HitchSafe systems and other accessories that require a taller fastener, and they come as a matched pair so both sides of a locking assembly can be secured. The HS7021T is especially useful for older Toyota pickup models (2002–2021), large SUVs, and industrial trucks that present additional material or weld thickness around the hitch opening.

How much longer are these bolts compared with standard hitch bolts?

The HS7021T (the "T" standing for "Tall") provides an overall extension of 1.00 inch and uses a .650 inch shaft diameter, giving it greater reach than common .75 inch bolts with added spacers. This extra length clears thicker receiver walls and heavy welds that block shorter hardware.

• Overall extension: 1.00 inch
• Shaft diameter: .650 inch
• Designed to replace shorter .75 inch bolts with .100 inch spacers
• Sold as a set of two matching extended bolts

Which vehicles are compatible with HS7021T bolts?

These bolts are intended for vehicles that require a one-inch extension to fasten accessories through thicker receiver openings. They are commonly used on many Toyota pickups built between 2002 and 2021, large SUVs and industrial trucks with heavy-duty receivers. Note: they are not compatible with Toyota Pickup models from 2022 onward.

• Ideal fit: Toyota pickups (2002–2021)
• Good for: large SUVs and industrial trucks needing extended reach
• Not compatible: Toyota Pickup 2022 and newer
• Also suitable for other vehicles with thick-weld receivers

Will these bolts work with HitchSafe vaults and other accessories?

The HS7021T was designed to pair with the HitchSafe secure key vault system (vault sold separately) and other hitch-mounted devices that need longer fasteners. When used with a compatible vault or locking device, the bolts help create a sturdy, concealed metal storage solution that sits inside the hitch receiver.

• Made to mate with HitchSafe bolt-locking vaults
• Enables a robust, hidden metal storage when combined with the vault
• Provides a corrosion-resistant fastening point for long-term outdoor use
• Kits and vaults are sold separately; verify receiver clearance before purchase

What should I check before buying the HS7021T set?

Measure the receiver opening and the thickness or weld profile to confirm you need the 1.00-inch extension and .650-inch shaft. Confirm your vehicle model year compatibility—especially Toyota pickups—and ensure your accessory accepts the larger shaft diameter. Always compare the HS7021T dimensions to your current bolts before swapping hardware.

• Measure receiver offset and weld thickness first
• Verify your accessory accepts .650" shaft diameter
• Confirm vehicle model/year compatibility (see notes for Toyota)
• Keep original hardware for reference during installation

Who is this for? If you own a truck or large SUV with a deep-weld or thick receiver and your existing hitch hardware doesn't clear the opening, the HitchSafe HS7021T pair gives the reach and strength needed for secure mounting. It’s particularly useful for outdoor enthusiasts, tradespeople, and fleet owners who pair hitch-mounted vaults or heavy accessories with their vehicles. Buyers who need standard-length bolts should choose a different part; this set is specifically for situations requiring extra extension.
