I've never owned a sliding hitch, but just looking at those pictures, wow. Most of the weight is going on the front rail unless you are pulling.

It would be interesting to see a pic of the top of the rail under each roller.

I bent the same rail, its easier then you would think, As I said its probably not from towing, it from sliding his hitch back to hard.
