Hitch pin or hitch lock?
The receiver on my 2014 Sequoia is made in such a way that lack of room makes it difficult to get the hairpin over the hitch pin.
One solution would be a longer hitch pin but I haven’t found one longer than the 4” of the current one.
Another solution would be a hitch lock which would be easier to attach and detach. However, I don’t know if those are made simply to lock the hitch in place while stored, or they are strong enough to use while towing your vehicle.
I’m not sure of a need for a lock for a lock’s sake. My weight distributing hitch is so heavy that I can’t imagine they get stolen often. And, I’ve seen hitch lock/coupler lock sets, but again, it seems improbable to me that travel trailers are often targets for theft. So, unless there’s more of that going on than I know, I’m thinking mainly about a solution that makes things easier.
If you recommend a hitch lock, have you had good or bad luck with a specific brand?
