From the picture, that is the Ford frame that has failed, not an extension added by the Thor. I can't say for sure, but it looks like someone used a weight distributing hitch with this setup, that it was not designed for one. More than likely, the factory information packet also says to not use a weight distributing hitch either.

How can you tell a WDH was used? I don't see the hitch or the bars.

Did you catch that sentence? Have you ever removed an WDH stinger from the receiver, with the bars still attached? If you have, you know that their is considerable force usually up on the stinger. The bars tend to make a more fixed coupling between what is being towed and the TV. If the hitch is not a WDH, it can do just what you see in the photo. But then again, its just my experience.
