Locking Options for Brake Actuator
Question:
Is there a way to lock the actuator once it is attached to the ball, so that someone can not easily remove the trailer from the truck and steal it?

Expert Reply:
You can use the Trailer Coupler Lock for Surge Brake with 3-3/8" Span, part # e98888, to lock a actuator like # T43397007K once it's attached to the hitch ball through the latching mechanism on the top of your coupler. This product has a wide width so it will clear the sides.
The Master Lock 1-7/8" and 2" Trailer Coupler Lock, part # 377DAT, is an option that locks the trailer when it's not connected to the hitch ball. It attaches where the trailer hitch ball would go.
