I appreciate BTBRV showing my best lead yet!

[@ryanwalker8399]

1600 hitch and 160 for pins worth it. Not for a hitch that's worth 500 bucks.

[@michaelashea4790]

If a thief wants your stuff, they have a way of getting what's yours. I use a Grade 8 hex head bolt with a locking washer and nut. I tighten it down with massive wrench so it won't fall off. Changing the hex bolt to a socket head bolt will slightly increase the anti-theft property. I have experienced my RV stolen from a secure lot, coupler lock and hitch pin in place, all compromised. Now, I go to extremes, still looking for better products. Thanks for the video.

[@matthewstencel8298]

For $160, you can buy 20 more pins and get them all stolen and keep the extras in the lockable toolbox to use for other applications

We hear from very few customers who have a pin theft problem. If you are one of the few that do have a theft issue our replacement pins are $10.50, buy a few extra and put them in your glove box for a less expensive 'insurance' policy.

[@mskid160]

I am interested to see how well the brass key holds up after a few months of road grime, dust, and dirt that'll settle into the threads of the pins. It wouldn't be the first brass key I've seen twist of in a lock. Looks like a great option though. Thanks for sharing.

[@jensenleblanc]

I really like my 180 hitch by WeighSafe. Two different ball sizes and they have a double pin lock built into the hitch already. A lot more compact then this setup. 8” drop 3” shank = $260 on amazon plus a lock for the hitch shank of your choosing. Definitely informative for someone who has already purchased the B&W though. Great video as always!!!!

[@GTOGregory]

I have one like these on my Class V hitch receiver. Note: If it's not stainless steel, it will rust from salt on the Northern roads. I also use a long, thick cable and padlock to cable the car trailer to the truck chassis when I'm traveling.

[@LennyKaosium]

The hitch I use for my trailer is a setup I got with the trailer. It has things for attaching some bars to help control the trailer from swaying back and forth and an extra ball on the side for another thing to minimize sway. I only use it for towing the trailer and I don't get to do that often enough. This beast is HEAVY. I've left it on much longer than I should because it is HEAVY. I have a locking pin securing the main bar thing that the hitch is attached to. The hitch setup is bolted to the receiver bar. I can't imagine anyone stealing it to use because you'd have to have the bars and other stuff to fully use it. But some kids steal things just to be jerks. Doing anything to make it harder for people to steal your stuff reduces the odds of your getting ripped off. Nothing will entirely prevent someone with knowledge and the right tools. It's all about reducing those odds for casual theft.

[@alanb6329]

I've had two locking hitch pins, and they both rusted shut. One of them I got off by spraying with WD-40 and let sit for a couple hours. The other would not take the WD-40, so a crowbar made simple work of getting it off. Lesson here is: WD-40 rocks, and the locking pin will only keep honest people from stealing it.

[@garyblatt8925]

Great Video. I hate thieves. I walked out to my truck in October and some jerk stole the plug out of my receiver and took the pin with them. So I purchased a new plug and a less expensive lock than what is shown for the B&W hitch to keep people from helping themselves to my receiver plug. On a side note, if you live in the rust belt, be sure to lubricate your locking pins, key holes and threads with a good grease (I chose CRC White Lithium at Rural King) as the salt brines and calcium chloride mixtures can creep through the plastic protective covers and harden inside the lock mechanisms and on the threads. A quick coating of grease will keep these parts working after a harsh Pennsylvania winter. Also, spray down the treads on your D-ring shackles with a coat of spray grease as well. It will help them to work smoothly for many years to come.

I went ahead and ordered 2 locking pins to secure it to the truck, and to secure the 'riser' system so it couldn't be stolen in-toto........or partially. I like to keep my hitch in the receiver. For one thing, more cushion against rear-end collisions. Which DO happen.

[@EightBawl]

JD, you should check out the lock pins that "bulletproof hitches" sells. similar price, but you dont have to screw the key. Only reason i mention that, is because over time, the road grime and any dirt you drive in does make the key hole kinda tight. I would assume that those pins have all stainless steel internals, so i would also recomend putting some graphite powder in the key hole every once in a while.

Nice hitch it really is but it’s priced beyond what it’s worth once you buy all those locks ,which I may mention they only last a few years here in NY even with the covers salt residue will sneak in from the hitch side and they won’t come off one day you’ll have to cut them off.....simply get the receiver you need and remove it and put under the rear seat when not in use . Im pretty sure a removable hitch is illegal to have in the receiver in NY anyway when not towing . It can’t stick out past the bumper .You can thank insurance company lobbyists for that.

That's why I bought the rapid hitch over the B&W a year or two ago. They have an available locking kit purchased separately of course. B&W needs to step up and provide something. A man cant own anything without it being locked down, and that doesnt even work sometimes. Great Vid.

[@mishafrog8786]

[@TheTsunamijuan]

I would highly advise against showing your keys online. Its very easy for someone to get enough information to duplicate your keys. There is definitely enough view of the keys in this video for an attacker to duplicate them. Also the key is likely the weakest part of the design. That type of lock is often extremely easy to pick. I only mention these because your trying to solve a security related problem, and haven't really solved it but replaced the problems with different ones. (though definitely a deterrent for the lowest rung attackers)

[@mikesanchez9654]

I hate to tell you this - but last week a thief stole my B&W hitch with those exact locks you bought. . .same exact B&W hitch and same 4 Infiniterule locks off my F350. I was out of town on business and they must have taken it off at the hotel - didn't notice it was missing until I got back to Texas. The strange thing is, I can't tell how they got it off . . .there were no hammer marks or any grinder mark visible. I've had that hitch and lock setup for over a year and felt comfortable it was "theft proof". Obviously it was a false sense of security. I ran across your video because I'm online buying a new B&W hitch - and looking for a better lock solution so I don't get ripped off again. This time I'm going with Paclock's UCS-80-250 lock which cost $117 each. I watched a 13 minute video on KZbin detailing this lock and I am convinced if I had this lock I'd still have my B&W hitch. Please watch that video by BosnianBill and tell me what you think before I pull the trigger and buy it. Thanks

Thought the same, but it is like a screw, meaning at each full turn you gotta pick it again. 7-8 turns each, 4 of them...

i know it sounds silly but, why not take it off when not towing where i live, ontario, canada, it's not illegal to drive around with your trailer hitch in as long as it doesn't block the view of your license plate, on trucks prolly not a problem but on cars that have the hitch the other way to raise the trailer level, if it blocks reading parts of the plate it's an issue

[@quentinhnatyshyn3825]

Up here in Alberta you can get a ticket for leaving the hitch receiver on your truck when not towing. Also if in an accident where you are rear ended, it becomes a no fault accident due to the unfair advantage. The ticket is actually called unfair advantage. 1st hand knowledge of this one.

[@Raptorjockeydude]

I think B&W makes some veeeery nice stuff, but I've never particularly cared for the multiple pin system on the tow n stow. I think being able to flip it up under the truck is pretty cool but personally I would rather keep an expensive hitch like that under the back seat of my truck or in a tool box vs leaving it out in the elements for possible rust and corrosion. Still, I think the keyed alike pins are an excellent solution if you're going to keep the hitch in the receiver. Looking forward to more BTBRV videos.

I would’ve just bought 2 BOLT locks one for the bottom and ove for the receiver also one less key to carry as they key to your truck key

Doesn't matter what locking pin u use, a grinder is getting it off no matter what lol. Either use cheap locking pins or take the hitch off imo.

I like the shackle locks, but my shackles were $40. Why would anyone pay $90 to secure a $40 part?
