Expert Reply:

You just need 1 locking hitch pin, like the Stainless Steel # e98882, to secure the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10033BB to your truck.

B&W designed their ball mounts so the platform section cannot be removed while the assembly is installed on the vehicle, so while someone can very well remove the pins that keep the platform in place, they won't be able to remove the whole ball mount if the hitch pin is locked.

With that being said, if you like the idea of locking all of the pins then you'll need to get the InfiniteRule Locking Pins # 34061775-D which come all keyed alike and set to fit this ball mount.
