Myself, I would have ordered a NEW hoist instead of a takeoff
The parts were from Ford Dealers. As you probably know, brand new parts are taken off brand new vehicles all of the time. There are great deals to be had. In this case, both the wheel and hoist are Ford parts off of 2018 vehicles. The hoist was cheaper shipped to my house than a new Dorman. The new wheel was cheaper than a used one by a lot. Again, shipped to my house.
There are other Ford dealers who frequently heavily discount parts that were ordered for people who changed their mind. The same goes for other brands. Those parts are for sale on eBay whether for Motorcycle or any other Vehicle.
