So I live in Nashville and the past few years we've seen a little snow and a lot of salt. The last hitch lock I had rusted shut and I could not get the key to unlock it. Took about and he and a bottle of anti seize. Anybody have a good brand recommendation that won't rust and seize up? My problem may be that I just leave my hitch on. I leave it on to try to prevent a little fender bender.

I like bolt, it uses your factory key and is sealed pretty well.

If you lube it up every once in awhile, It may not seize up on you...

Apply a little motor oil throughout the season, especially into to the key chamber. Personally I don't leave mine on....

I use a 5/8 grade 8 bolt with a "Nylock" nut, no lock but a thief would 2 3/4 in wrenches to remove it

Remove and store it like you are supposed to. As a guy that pumped gas as a young man I can tell you I still have scares from incidents with those damn things.

Nothing like going between vehicle in a parking lot and smashing your shins on a hitch that should have been removed.

In my province it is actually illegal to leave it in place when not in use.

Had someone back into front of Ford Fusion with their hitch bar and left. $850 damage.
