I understand what you are saying, and with some parts I would be ok with it.
If I didn't tow a trailer close to the weight limit, I'd be ok with it.
But in this particular instance, with a structural /safety component it is not acceptable to me.
I'm sorry, but I'm just not going to let them go cheap on this.

NO! but you have to know what you are getting! no one has any way of knowing what the hitch at the junkyard went through before someone else receives it. The hitch is also a rear impact bar to keep the vehicles from going under. I also would want new!
Ask the insurance to sign a off that they will be responsible for anytype of failure associated with the used hitch. I can guarantee you, you will then get what you want!

Torklift makes both a 20k and 30k lb dual receiver replacement hitch, they are much heavier than the factory hitches. I have the 20k one and it is a serious piece of hardware, very heavy duty.

I bought the B&W 16k hitch.
Took the invoice to my agent, I'm supposed to get reimbursed for it.
I consider it a win-win. I'm happy the the new hitch. They're paying less than they would have if the Dealer had installed the used one.
