Can the Balls or Ball Platform be Stolen Off of the B&W Tow &W Ball Mounts
Question:
Can parts of the Tow and Stow ball mount be stolen if the pins are removed?
asked by: Eric
Expert Reply:
According to B&W:
When the Tow & Stow is secured in your hitch receiver, you will not be able to remove the ball mount platform. This is because the slot in the shank is positioned in such a way that the collar on your hitch will block the pin on the platform from being able to leave the channel. Even if the pins holding the ball mount platform in place are removed, the platform will still be confined to this channel. So, as long as a hitch lock is used to secure the entire ball mount in your hitch receiver, and a coupler lock is used to prevent your trailer's coupler from being disengaged from the ball, your trailer will be secure.
