+2 on the locking hitch pin.....

But those locking hitch pins are expensive and I hate keeping track of keys.
I enlarged the existing hole in a regular pin and use a combination padlock, the same lock I use for everything else. (MASTER MLK-175D Solid Brass Resettable Combination Padlock)

Keeping track of keys? How do you keep track of your car keys?

Just leave one key in your tool box in the garage and the other in the console or glove box in the car.

I have 2 keys on my key chain, my office key and my truck key.
The less keys the better to keep track of copy, replace, etc.
All I have to remember is a 4 digit combo.

Plus, I can use that padlock for other things instead of buying an expensive hitch lock that has a single use.
I use the same padlock to secure both the hitch and a cable which secures things like bicycles, generators, whatever on the back of the vehicle.
