Do you leave your trailer hitch / Ball in?

Topic. Around here I hardly see the plastic Toyota piece off.

 

Once you've bashed into them a few times most people leave them off.

 

You should add a poll to the thread

 

ugh what was I thinking .. Still a noob to these forums. How do I edit my post -.-

 

So on top of this thread go to "thread tools" then click add a poll

 

This. I won't even leave my 1Up bike rack on.

 

Is it illegal to have it still hooked up without towing anything?

 

I shake my head when I see a $100+ set up not locked

 

My truck won't fit in the garage with the hitch in!

 

No, why would it be?

Mine is in. I have to go get the key and unlock it to pull it off, so why?

 

It is illegal in some states.

 

Don t park so close to my back bumper ! You know ! Fuck yeh it stays in.

 

I've never heard of that. Seems stupid.

 

Not in GA. WAIT... its illegal to have a ball in and not towing??? That's crazy.

 

I had a '76 El Camino (yeah I know, not a truck) with air shocks and with no air in them the ball would hit about halfway up my shin. Man that hurt, but it hurt even more when you wacked it twice in a row.

 

I've never banged into it...

 

I have a locking hitch pin, but I still don't leave it in. Just don't like the way it looks, and also whacked my legs on a few of them. Honestly I only have the locking pin because Tractor Supply had them on sale last year for 79 cents. I bought the last two they had.

 

It is in SoCal. Cop told me it is because it causes too much damage when people back into you in parking lots. SERIOUSLY!?

 

I keep one of these shin getters in when I'm not using the ball.
