You know how you can prove that theory, right? Go to a nearby Chevy or GMC dealer and look at the HD pickups on the lot. If the beds are flat, something is wrong with your truck. If the beds are crowned, something is wrong with the hitch.
My guess is the bed is intentionally crowned for the same reason OTR aluminum flatbed trailers are crowned.
:S
Not likely, the long flatbeds are crowned because they are only supported at their ends, weight will flatten, same as long beams in buildings.
Pickup beds are supported at about four points even in an 8' bed has support every 2' at minimum, should be flat.
