My point in stating ..."Not proud of it, but, I have driven on 2 days where I forgot to latch my AUH." ... was to show that with 2500+# the hitch is not likely to "pop" off the ball.
I have since made a mental check list to include checking the handle for lock.

Hell, I forgot to pop the locking pin on the TO Ball with the GN trailer on it. I =could= feel it riding up and down a bit and was wondering why the ride felt different. Went around checking things and, as I was heading back to the cab, noticed that the pull-rod in the fender well was sticking out. DOH! :S Even with 1-1.5k lbs on the "pin", it =can= move.
