A cargo camera would be nice, I also hate the fact that Ford's don't have a central locking tailgate feature, the Ram has both I believe...oh well.

This is really a pain in the *ss when trying to put a huge weight distribution hitch in!

Know anyone with a welder?
A simple little tack weld that would be easy to knock off with a grinder or even a file will fix that. I agree that we should not have to do this, but it is an option..

Would only be a solution for people that only use 2" recievers only as you would have to knock it off, weld it, knock it off, weld it over and over between hitches.

NEW ONE

I've read every post in this thread and I can't believe this one isn't in here.

How about whenever there is water, heavy dew, rain, etc on the roof of the truck and when your windows are cracked or down and you slow down or try to stop and it all pours right in on top of the door panels, especially right on all the window and door electrical controls! I cant get the windows back up fast enough...

I'll bet - before I got the 5er's, my propride used to STAY LOCKED in the hitch !

how about a little tack weld on it to hold it in place ?

I have a few spares of the insert just in case I need them.


On edit - too slow - started to respond while eating breakfast and didn't get back to it before Randy responded !

BUT, my suggestion about spare inserts is still valid - Nannie, nannie, Boo, BOO randy

That's why I have AVS Vent Visors and have had on at least the past 4 trucks. AVS Window Visors | Lund International

They aren't perfect, but better then a nekkid door.

I've only been on the planet for a short 61 years, but in those years and working around a ton of equipment, I'll be honest in saying, I have never yet laid eyes let alone hands on a hitch that has a mount larger than 2" square. Certainly they are out there, but the odds that I will ever need one are really small...
Mine will get a tack weld as I have a half dozen different 2" receiver hitches for my various trailers...

Should be easy to do it they leave a little meat for you to weld to, otherwise flip it over and drill a new hole..

While that might work for you, I agree. However, my weight distribution hitch is 2 1/2" and almost every other hitch I have is 2" and would handle most any other trailer I would pull with the receiver.
