| Description of the problem | The factory installed tow hitch has too much play (clearance or slip fit). When you install a standard size receiver(male) you can move it up and down . 500 of an inch or more. It is way too sloppy of a fit. This will lead to lock pin wear and in an extreme case,pin shear. This is an accident waiting to happen. Please inspect this fit.*ak |
