Andersen Aluminum Ultimate Hitch Redesigned

How many bent hitches have you seen that weren't caused by an accident? I think the point is that how many hitches have you seen that were damaged in everyday use? And yes, IMO, a panic stop is everyday use.

Also, this is a relatively new hitch so there aren't likely to be huge numbers of them in use yet. And to me, ONE instance of a hitch deforming under use is way too many.
