What Differences Between etrailer Locking Hitch Pin e98880 and e98882
Question:
Seems like the chrome model is recommended more. I would think stainless would be preferable. Any reason to pick one over the other?

Expert Reply:
There's not really a reason other than personal preference between the chrome finish # e98880 and the stainless steel # e98882; I happen to prefer the stainless steel option but the chrome does give you a bit nicer finish on the lock which is important to some users. Both locks will do a great job of fighting off corrosion and they can both be keyed alike to other etrailer locks.
