Did the hitch plate hit the ground, thus bending the frame?
If the hitch hit the ground hard enough to BEND THE FRAME, it must have been epic ...

Just little scratches ? Heck, you can get little scratches on the hitch on dirt/gravel roads easy with these trucks due to the departure angle ... I've done that with light off roading ... So, "scratches" alone make no sense unless the service manager is a major chooch ...

Something missing here ...

I went 42 years without ever seeing a bent frame on a pickup truck. Ever. Now in the last 12 months I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a photo of a truck with a bent frame or seeing one in person. WTH is going on?

Vehicles are being treated as disposable toys more than ever before.

Raptor started this with illusion of a "factory trophy truck".
