Solution for Locking Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch To Prevent Theft
Question:
I have installed the Goosepuck system, and it works great. Fixes the very low turning radius problem I was having, and seems to be an excellent addition. One question, is there a way to lockinch this to the truck bed? It is kind of heavy to be installing/uninstalling all the time, and too expensive to just leave insecured in the truckbed.

The design of the Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY73XR doesn't really allow for much in the way of security. The only thing you can really do is replace the safety pin that secures the T-handle with a lock. This would prevent anyone from lifting the handle which is required to remove the adapter.
I wasn't able to get the diameter of the hole but you might be able to get a coupler lock with a 1/4" diameter through there like the Master Lock # 2847DAT. The only other option would be to run a thin steel cable lock through that either has very little slack or retracts similar to the Trimax # TMX62VR.
