    Leave it off and fit some proper recovery points? Can always tie down on them.

    🤨 as a last resort maybe....a common occurrence is a severely bent pin and you may not be able to decouple and return the strap back to it’s ownerDiscovery 2 Welding Precautions

    Is the pin not vulnerable with Trout’s apperatus too?

    Generally not as helps to distribute the load more over the length of the pin and keep it straight.

    I am willing to wager that the strap will break long before the pin will shear when using one of these recovery hitches.
    I am not a fan of using the pin only method But if you haven't got a proper recovery hitch it is a far better method than using the factory tie down points.
    Besides IF it gets to the point where you are going to shear or bend the pin then you are most likely using way too much force and need to rethink your method of recovery.

    common occurrence ?
    maybe the newer pins are made out of cheese,,
    I 've dragged a series 3 with camper off a beach and ripped the straps stitching,, (must have been like a moon shot launch in the 3)
    Pin was fine.
    I reckon all that insert does is make money and add extra leverage to the tow,
