When a class of people cannot be trusted with an oil pressure gauge do you really think they can engineer a hitch?

Owned 3 Rubicons and not one had a hitch tilt.
Huh? I've lost count but from just the last 15 years or so, I've had 2 Raptors, 2 regular F150s, and 7 rams and never a single issue with a factory hitch on any of them; so what's your point?

Not going to stay whats what, but a week ago the service manager at my dealership came out, looked at it for about a second, and said that is not right. On any truck. Opened a case... they called back today. Ford is replacing it Friday morning.

2020... 1600-ish miles.

Can someone with a 2019 confirm if their hitch has a tilt? I don’t think the one I saw at the dealer when I ordered mine had a noticeable tilt.

I’ve got a ‘19 with a noticeable hitch tilt. Have the Smittybuilt adjustable drop hitch and there is a significant tile and it has very little slop. I do have Eibach springs leveling slightly exacerbating the problem, but the amount of tilt is still excessive.

Just picked up my 20 last week and noticed the hitch angle immediately. Have to ask dealer about it.

I just got a hitch hauler for my stand up jet ski. My hitch is also tilted down!! Wtf. Anyone know how the dealer fixed the issue? My dealer is not super close, and I work a lot.
