Please remove your hitch

Somehow, I knew the wife was to blame. Just think, she might have dented the rear end of the mighty macho pickup that she was walking around.

For those that like to leave it in place......you do know that with the thinking of "it will protect me if anyone rear ends me" is ridiculous! I work in a body shop and have seen frames damaged because the hitch acts as a lever and makes it very easy to fold a frame down when rear ended! many of them were totaled because it costs too much to replace a frame.

I remove mine whenever it`s not being used. it protects it from the elements, and it keeps me or anyone else from running into it with their shin! plus it reduces potential damage to my truck in case of an accident. and it won`t rust in place!

And yes sometimes it`s necessary to walk close to some ones truck, so don`t get upset when you are told it is unnecessary to leave it in place!

Sorry that your wife hurt herself but I would not put the blame on the hitch.

I got an instant reminder to take mine off after banging my shin into mine. DOH!
They even put up more lights where I work. Guy ran into someones in the dark and got hurt. So I second the motion. Take them off!

Why was she walking so close to the back of someone's truck?

My hitch weighs about 35 pounds, no way am I going to remove it!

Lots of luck with this one. We have people who tow a fifth wheel south for six months, yet have hitch bars in place. I guess it is to protect their rear end from people like your wife.
