OK, glad to hear it. Definitely a different model hitch, so ignore my rant. Thanks for the new pictures - I see nothing wrong.
Incidentally, and completely separate from your query. The hole I mentioned does have a function when the latch is closed. You can pass a hitch clip through it. Many folks think that the purpose of a hitch clip is to make sure the hitch doesn't pop open on the road. I suppose that is true, but another function - and to me much more important - is to confirm that the hitch is fully closed on the ball, with no room for doubt. On my hitch, at least, it is possible to close the hitch most of the way, but not quite all the way. And it is not obvious by eye that this has happened. When I was new to trailering, I once drove an entire day with the hitch not fully closed. Scary! I instantly learned that if it is not closed all the way, a hitch clip pin won't go through the hole. And I've used one ever since.
