That is funny. Welds are tougher then most steel. There is a reason we put welds on on contact point to keep the metal from wearing thin. The weld Would be a lot tougher then that steel by a long ways. I have a hitch just like that in my pickup. It has slop and bad slop needs to be fixed but I will say this. It has never banged around or pounded me. I have even had 30+ thousand pulled by it. Never slammed me around. It might do it in the city though. If I cant flip it down or pull the ball out. I will not use the hitch.
The last 2 trucks I had had plates bolted in the bed so it doesn't bother me. Better than getting hitched for 400 miles at a time. Worked like a dream for this 550 mile round trip today
