Just an FYI today I was doing a test load of my ATV trailer for a trip I'm going on in a week and noticed my receiver hitch was flexing down.
I look under the truck and find that the beads for the welds are basically all broken off and had I not done this, it would've definitely broke on the trip and my trailer with about $12k of gear would be a lost cause off in a ditch somewhere.
I have the OEM receiver and I cannot believe they have such horrible welding on it. What's even more worrying is I have never towed anything close to max capacity which I know would've sheared it right off.
It's a bad picture but you can easily see where the boogered AF welds broke and started rusting... here in Texas.
Time to have a friend weld the **** out of it for me. Hopefully no one else has this problem
