Rob -

I don't understand what I am seeing. The first pic looks like the hitch has been hit and badly dented somehow. Am I misunderstanding the picture? And what is the upright bolt standing behind the hitch lifter? You've showed us the left side of the hitch - does it look the same from the other side?

In the first pic, there is a hole in the lower right corner of the hitch latch (the silver part of the latch). When the latch is closed on the hitch ball, can you slip a metal rod (like a knitting needle) cleanly into the hole, all the way through, and out the other side?

Maybe this is a hitch from a different manufacturer. My hitch looks like the attached pic - excuse the grubbiness. I notice that your hitch has a plain black strap around the front, while on mine, the strap has substantial upward portion in the front. They are definitely not the same.
