Expert Reply:

Are you speaking of a locking hitch pin to prevent the ball mount or hitch mounted accessory from being stolen? If so, I'd just use a locking hitch pin like # C23517 which is compatible with 1-1/4 and 2 inch receivers.

If you're concerned about somebody actually unbolting and making off with the hitch, we don't have a lock that would secure the hitch to the vehicle, but you could have a welder tack the mounting bolts in place so they'd be pretty difficult to remove.
