Contrary to what you think, aluminum does in fact corrode. Worst is when it's in contact with iron and you introduce a little moisture to the party.
Humid Louisiana, a little vibration to burnish the paint off the receiver and the shank, and a few weeks of not towing is all it takes.
have you seen an aluminum draw bar destroy itself from being in a steel receiver tube? I've known people who have had these for years and I have never seen one fail myself. I don't think I have ever heard of one failing either.
Just curious because here in Tennesee we have an extremely humid environment as well and I haven't noticed a problem.
Thanks!
