I always remove mine. I mostly used a Class 5 pintle hook for towing and it's not a cheap piece of equipment. I'd worry about some low-life swiping it if I left it in the receiver when not towing.
Eh...wot?

Had that happen on my last truck. I beat on it awhile, then decided to put the pin back in and leave it alone. I bought a boat/trailer that took a 1-7/8" ball and decided it was easier to change out the trailer hitch to a 2" than remove the receiver/ball on my truck. I already had another 1-7/8" receiver/ball setup, sold it. Lol

I always keep mine behind the seat unless I'm using it.
Main reason , I end up whacking my shin against it and that smarts a bit.

Like to wrap the outer hitch channel with black electricians tape, and tap it in with a dead blow hammer.
Dampens vibration chatter as well.

Additional PSA crank your spare tire down and lubricate the stupid cable and cable box assembly. That SOB will lock up on you tighter than a rat's (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) if you don't get flat tires all that often. It sucks when you do get a flat and cant get it to crank down ..... been there, done that, got the t-shirt. X2 This happens a lot. The proverbial use it or lose it. Just cranking it up and down once a year does wonders.
