Is There a Lock for Latch Pin Handle on B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 2002 Ford F-250
Question:
One of my fears is a teen or young kid not know what the red handle does and will simply pull it out just out of curiosity! 2002 F250 superduty 7.3 8ft bed

Though there is not a separate lock available for the latch pin handle of the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1108 that fits your 2002 Ford F-250, it would not be able to be removed by a teen or young kid.
If you take a look at the accompanying photo of hitch # BWGNRK1108 installed on a F-250 you can see that it is in the truck's wheel well and somebody would almost certainly have to be looking for the handle to find it. Even if they did, the Turnoverball's handle does not just slide right out if you pull on it, the handle needs to be rotated and is spring-loaded so as not to be removable. In short, you can rest easy knowing the latch pin handle is going to stay on your truck.
I have added a link to a video review of this gooseneck hitch, as well as a link to an install on a Ford F-250 for you to take a look at.
