Enclosed trailer question...
 

I tow an 8.5x24 enclosed trailer. The trailer tongue and hitch I use are as pictured. I have a nice coupler lock but as you can see, all a thief would have to do is remove my coupler and the trailer is gone. My question is, since the truck hitch uses two pins to mount the ball, is there any reason I can’t remove the two bolts and use two locking pins to mount the coupler to the trailer? No matter how tight the bolts are there’s still a little bit of play in the coupler, so that’s not an issue. Thanks a lot.

Given enough time you can only slow down a thief who really wants your trailer. As someone who pulls dirt bikes and stays in hotels, removing the tongue would be a great idea as they would need to find something that fits in the middle of the night.

The uriah products aluma-tow (adjustable ball hitch) is designed with anti-theft measures.
