Thanks I had already found that - but it didn't really impress me that the Max Tow was all that much stronger. Was hoping there were newer modifications that tied it even better into the rear frame...

Doing a web search for "f150 hitch failure" or "f150 receiver failure" yields next to nothing. People love to complain so if there were issues, there would likely be posts somewhere about it.

Provided you're operating within the limits of the hitch and using a WD unit over 5k (as specified) I don't think you'll have any issues.
