Hitch Cover vs Hitch Lock (Canada)

Trailer hitches

A hitch cover dresses an empty receiver. A hitch lock secures an insert in the tube. Use a cover when the tube is empty. Use a lock when a mount or rack stays installed.

Empty tube

Covers and plugs keep debris and salt out. Match one and one quarter or two inch openings. Neither stops theft of a loose mount sitting in the bed.

Installed insert

Pin or lock through the receiver holes. A cover clipped over a locked mount is optional cosmetics — the lock does the security work.
