This and This are reason I prefer a hitch that attaches at four points to the FRAME. :S
Having the weight of your fivers pin being carried on the sheet metal floor of the bed has just never seemed like a good idea to me.
I don't buy the argument that the GN Ball adapter carries the weight, when torquing the hold down bolt to 50# to 60#, you are lifting up on the ball adapter, and pressing the hitch into the bed.
