or suggesting a/s is looking into this, or that it's ge'em issue ...

there will be LOTS of folks with this issue on NEW TOW VEHICLES...

while the hitch vendor that IS the subject of the thread is ignoring this issue.



so another option for this member is JUST RETURN THE CONTRAPTION, it's still within 90 days right?

if the hitch cannot be used safely and without altering the trailer or tow vehicle...

and the maker suggests it's someone else's problem, spend the 3,000 $ on some other approach.

see the FORD pic below for just a few 100,000s of potential tow vehicles...
I didn't know that the Ford's SDs were also same height...

Looks like Hensley does need to look at a refresh in design to accommodate the newer truck hitch heights.
