HOWEVER, on one occasion having it on served me well. I have an extended hitch so I can drop my tailgate. I got boxed in tight in a parking spot and taking the hitch off gave me the extra room I needed to wiggle out. Maybe I will put an extended hitch on each end of the truck to keep from getting boxed in again (ironically on the "Boxing Day" holiday).
