Mistakes happen but I've found blue ox very good.
The packer may have grabbed bolts for a different base plate by accident.
Another error is the "this bolt too long this one too short" error (You need to used the wrong bolts) though I doubt that was your problem
My first towed the RV dealer installed the base plate. Did not use Locktite on the bolts (Specified by Blue Ox) with predictable results (We used loctite when we replaced them)
The other one was installed by U-Haul and far as I know (last inspected this week) all bolts still tight.
Now other things on the car used for towing.. I'm gonna have a nice long talk with the folks who did the Remco Lube Pump and ran the wires were they would not last.
