Wow, saw these on Trucks TV as I watched a DVRed episode tonight. They said they were made in the USA..
They sell them for trailer tire locks, receiver locks, etc. and they learn your vehicle key so you only need one key. So if you plan on keeping your vehicle for a while it sounds like a great idea. OR if you are using one of them on something that will stay with the vehicle even after you sell it they would be a "feature".
Check them out!

The only bad thing is trucks like mine don't have a normal key they use. BUT mine does have a normal key embedded in the big plastic key as a backup to the door so it would still be more handy...
I don't see one for the ball hitch latch but maybe one of those padlocks would fit over and thru one...
