[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 69532, member: 55"] On the failures I saw, it wasn't the pin that failed, but the hole the pin went through. The whole trailer load is placed on those two little bitty steel eyes, which twisted off, and were real mangled. The pin in your hitch receiver has a similar load, but the eye is much stronger (kinda what I hinted at with the telescoping part) as the eye is the whole receiver, and some of the weight is elsewhere, so it is not stressing the pin hole at one little bitty point.
