A vertical hitch pin for connecting a tongue to the hitch on a vehicle. The hitch pin has an elongate opening for receiving a pivoting bar. The bar rotates clockwise from a center position where the bar fits substantially inside the hitch pin during insertion of the pin through aligned openings in the trailer tongue and the hitch to a first laterally extending position where the bar is rotated under the force of gravity until a portion of the bar engages with a first portion of a surface of the body bordering the elongate opening. The bar may also be capable of rotating counterclockwise from the center position to a second laterally extending position where the bar is rotated under the force of gravity until a portion of the bar engages with a second portion of the surface of the body bordering the elongate opening.
