LOL
I got it on the second cup after I posted.
To much candy last night and the hour extra sleep didn't help i guess.

I am awake now.

It has a barcode on it. Would that be a "of the shelf" unit. If so how would that pass as a hitch.
I don't even see where it was modified, if it was.:confused:
Stranger things have passed regulations.

It was off the shelf once upon a time. There are holes on the side where they should be. Someone must have modified for a specific purpose. Maybe they needed a drop hitch and didn't think it was worth putting a receiver hitch on the truck.

It was made by someone with a specific need and not enough knowledge of mechanics and safety to make safe choices. I would think this would merit a traffic stop for safety.

So long as you apply the trailer brakes first it should work ok, right?

Shouldn't be hard to track down the Connecticut owner of this pickup...

Yeah, but first the manufacturer should be tracked down and put out of business.

The part is a simple trailer hitch that would normally slide into the 2" receiver mounted to the vehicle.

The Ball is mounted to the square part that slides into the receiver...

The part bolted to the bumper is where the ball is supposed to be mounted.

Someone took an off the shelf part and reversed it to achieve a "Drop" hitch...
