| Description of the problem | Trailer hitch rusted away and broke towing a 26 ft rv trailer. Truck has 140,000 miles and is in good shape no body rust. Hitch is very unsafe and could have been very bad if it broke going down the highway. I have read other people having the same problem. I will be checking with ford about this but i think a recall should be looked into also see www. Car complains. Com,2005 f150 trailer hitch problems |
