Anderson Ultimate and aluminum truck bed compatibility

I was the one who originally said that the hitch ball supported the weight. Just looking at a photo of that Anderson hitch you can see that isn't the case. The four diagonal tubes obviously transmit the weight right to the truck bed. The ball mount is off center and probably supports very little of the weight.

I've been sceptical of that hitch and this certainly built that scepticism to a much higher pile. I'll stick to a conventional hitch myself.
