I have had hitch locks before, just a word to the wise, do not leave them on all the time. Only when you need to use them. They get dirty quickly and become hard to get open. Then once you finally get one off, (that's dirty) lots of time oil/wd 40 to clean them up. Either one that you have viewed should work fine. I would get the one that is easiest for you to get too in order to operate.

I have an older version of the Master Lock. It's held up well and fits nicely. The only complaint was it required a little force to get the lock to set the first time.

Got a stainless steel Reese from Home Depot last week $25.00. Works great!

thanks guys!

Also, do you know what size drop i would need to tow a utility trailer? I think on my 3rd gen I used a 3" drop, but I cant remember.

I know I need a 2" ball, but not sure on the drop. Thanks again
