My pin is the locking type that requires a key to remove it. Made by Masterlock. I was a little worried about it at first thinking that it would get rusty or frozen in the winter time but, it has held up for 3 years now with no problem.

My worry has never been the hitch pin, but I always have worried about the safety pin that holds the hitch pin from sliding out.

There is virtually no side load/pressure that would cause clip to fail
Operator error 9not installing it correctly) ------ YES
May not just be an "Operator error" if the clip "disappears" via a third party "prankster" that happens along when you are away from your vehicle..
Have heard of that happening, fortunately have never had that happen to me.. But I do typically do a quick walk around and check to make sure everything is in it's proper place as it should be when taking rest stops and such before I get back on the road..
As far as strength of the hitch pin goes, don't know exactly, but the same diameter pin is used for 2x2 and 2.5x2.5 hitches.. Just the length of the pin is longer for the 2.5 hitches.. Can't say for sure on the 3x3 hitches but I suspect most likely the same diameter to allow compatibility for using an smaller hitch accessory like a bike rack or lighter weight hitch via adapter sleeves.

I check tire/hub/rotor temps with Infrared Temp Gun when I stop....walk around and do a visual then run to the bathroom
upon return I check hookup/connections and just a general look over
Takes but a few minutes and is worth the 'p''p' dance :B
