Second bent hitch pin
I resently purchased a 2015 F250 from a 2001 and now am having problems with bending my hitch pin. The first one I was like eh it was a cheep pin. Had to get it quickly because I wasn't aware of needing a longer pin on these heavy duty hitches with the sleeve in them. I baught a fairly pricey master lock pin and once again it's ben after our trip. Our trailer is about 7000 plus pounds and pin is rated for 10k pounds. Is it my weight distributing hitch that is doing this? I thought I saw a post about this somewhere that your not supposed to use weight distribution with the sleeve. Thanks for any guidance.
