I picked up my 2021 Ford with factory-installed hitch just three weeks ago and am still learning about it. Yesterday, I removed the puck-system hitch in order to do some hauling.The hitch legs are held in place by four bolts (which the manual calls "T-pins".) Three of the T-pins stayed in place, but the fourth one dropped through to the ground. There are metal plates below three T-pins to prevent them from falling, but there is only air below the fourth.
This problem with one T-pin made it a bit tricky to re-attach the hitch.
Is my truck missing a plate below the fourth T-pin, or was the puck system designed so that one T-pin can fall to the ground when the hitch is removed?
Well if you removed the nuts from the bolts, then all bets are off. As mentioned earlier the puck locks unlock with a simple 1/4 turn. Now you will need to reassemble the pucks and adjust play.
