Hey Guys, Last week my 2014 Expedition EL was rear-ended. Good news no one was seriously hurt. About $3000 in damage. The repair shop looked at the hitch and said it doesn't need to be replaced. ...
I would demand a new hitch! It is possible there is hidden damage that will be revealed when towing. If the ins co won't/ body shop won't replace it, tell them you want it in writing the hitch is structurally safe for heavier towing!!!
