If your vehicle has a towing package, make sure to keep a hitch in it

Just saved the back end of my truck. The big rig that hit me. Not so much.

A hitch and ball can bend the laws of physics?

Not sure...but it can bend your frame in an accident.

Slow speed rear ended. I'll be driving away with no damage he will ha e to be towed for a busted radiator.

That way you can feel your way around backing up. When you hit another car, you know it's time to stop. Brilliant!

You got a lifted truck?

It helps with the small hits, but if you really get rear ended your fricked with or without the hitch.
You might want to check your frame where the towhitch attaches.

It has happened to me twice. Second time was getting off the interstate at Siegen and the lady behind me ran straight into the back of me. My ball went straight through her grill and when she backed up, the entire thing ripped off. My painted rear bumper was untouched so I just left her to deal with it on her own.

Radiators on big rigs are not low enough to hit your trailer ball

I beg to differ.

In some states, it is illegal to drive with the ball insert installed UNLESS you are actually towing. Reason cited is that it can come loose and fall out and become a serious hazard.

Done...

people actually steal these off trucks pretty often, so you're asking for it if you don't have a lock on it.

I got a 4' long hitch on my King Ranch. Busting radiators left and right.

This. Crazy woman rammed me at about 10 mph. Didn't do shite to my truck, but her shite was screwed big time.
Water and oil had poured out. She was texting at the time.Posted on 8/30/16 at 4:57 pm to gsvar2004
What kind of truck was it? Brand? Company name? I don't believe you unless you can come up with some facts
