^ Good to hear I'm not the only one! I'd have to check every time before getting in the truck, to see if it was looking any better. [emoticon]

I’m sure it wasn’t welded properly, I’ve seen that before with new vehicle parts. It’s probably not detrimental to the hitch and will not fail. But it will not work correctly with a WD hitch. Not to mention it would drive me nuts looking at a crooked hitch whenever I walk up to the truck.

It's possible it wasn't welded properly , most likely a tack weld broke after coming out of the jig, and the welding heat pulled it out of square .
