[QUOTE="HeavyAssault, post: 1329307, member: 30913"] Cause you guys know the contractual specifications of the hitch design??? LOL Just cause your opinion is XXXX doesn't mean it's designed wrong. So me some blueprints or contractual design specifications to show your opinion in right. I've read PLENTY of information about hitches/receivers. Most all will give a reference that the ball should be near vertical OR[U][I][B] angled to the rear.[/B][/I][/U] So when you think of the ball angle to the rear it's designed correctly with what MANY references state IS proper hitch setup. I got one specific hitch manufacturer site that gives this information clearly. Take into consideration WHO would Ford contract to have the OEM hitches/receivers built. Resse, Curt, etc etc etc.... SO that would give you even MORE consideration to show that's why even aftermarket hitches would STILL give an hitch angle to the rear. It's a manufacturing design by people who KNOW more than you about how it's designed. Does it impact the truck operation or ride?? NOPE. Just cause you THINK or your OPINION everything [B]should[/B] be built within a +/- .0000001" spec doesn't mean it's built wrong when it's within +/- .1" to spec. [/QUOTE]
