Pintle hooks come in many different ratings. Gravel pups use real heavy duty pintle hooks and they all have a safety pin so they can't accidentally pop open. A lot of safety chains and their mounting points are lame on trailers and tow vehicles.
I saw the safety chain mount rip right off a trailer that was built by a well respected trailer shop. I was quite shocked though because it broke when the trailer was being moved 20' closer to the shop to go on another vehicle. The coupler wasn't latched and just as the truck stopped, the trailer popped off and rolled back about 5'. The weld on the chain mount pulled off like it was stuck on with bubble gum. A lot of good something like that is going to do you on the highway with a loaded trailer. The weight of the trailer rolling backwards about 1 MPH and the safety chain failed.
