    Well this is a new one...

    I moved my rapid hitch over from '13 to my '21 and discovered it wouldn't seat in to the receiver hitch.

    Perplexed and fearing the receiver had been smooshed in some un-disclosed accident, I tried another ball mount to discover that it fit just fine. Phew! Thought I was gonna have to have a little chat with somebody..

    So I pulled out a straight edge to examine the rapid hitch shank with some interesting results...

    It would appear that the shank has taken a bit of the bow from the last few years of service - enough that it won't fit in to a newer receiver hitch. I sent an email to Andersen to get their thoughts on it. Might be time for a new receiver on the '13...
