    Anybody else notice their receiver hitch is slightly canted to one side or the other? Mine was hard to notice until I put a hitch bike rack on but now its bugging me. Looking down it looks like the whole receiver is angled to the passenger side. Pictures soon

    Lots of stuff!
    I noticed this too, It is apparent when I have the WDH installed. I think the bolts can be loosened and then adjusted but I haven't done that yet.

    Huh, Interesting. I was towing yesterday for the first time with my 24 Limited Off-Road, and when I tried hooking WDH, the left arm (driver side) was loose while the other got nice tension (same number of chain links on both arms).
    I was going to look into that more, but a crooked hitch would explain it...

    Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy. Definitely notice the same on the '23 I just bought. As I was test-driving pickups I noticed most of them seem to be slightly off square with the bumper fascia. I haven't used my bike rack with it yet, but I've towed a couple times, I use a B&W stow-n-go hitch, and figured it doesn't matter too much because the trailer will track regardless when it's hooked on a ball. I do not use a WDH either so I probably won't mess with mine yet. Kind of an interesting QA oversight isn't it?
