Pickup towing a travel trailer on a Canadian highway
Towing

A coupler lock slows trailer theft when the rig sits unattended. Use a lock that fits your coupler style, and still latch the coupler properly when you tow.

Parked trailer

Barbell and coupler-specific locks block the latch or ball socket. Pick the style that matches your coupler. Store the key where the tow vehicle can reach it.

On the road

Remove the parking lock before towing. Hitch with the latch fully closed and pinned. A parking lock is not a substitute for a closed latch on the highway.
