Good old Bill

Came out of Lowes today to see a nice looking GMC, no bumper but receiver/hitch hanging down low. Actually, bent at the frame of the truck. Didn't observe any other damage to the truck, tail lights all in order, just this receiver bent at a 45 degree angle downward. Now this truck could have been hit by an 18 wheeler, but no body damage? Wonder why? Could it be the frames of the GMC's suck! Have been rear ended two times in my 02, F150. Received $34.00 total, as payment to damage. What is the saying, Ford built tough.

I hear ya Bill and agree with you 100%.

maybe he actually tried to pull something. D:

iowaredneck

haha that's funny. =)-

even if he tried to pull something out, unless he has no clue what he's doing, the hitch shouldn't have been bent at a 45 degree angle downward. my father and i have pulled out enough trees to know that even when picking the front wheels of a F-250 supercrew, v-8 diesel with an 8 foot bed off the ground, the hitch should not bend. (at least not on an American made product)

maybe an elepahnt or small dog or fat b**** sat on it?

Probably got hit, damaged the bumper and bent the receiver hitch. (or backed into a wall)

He might have totally exceeded his towing rating, Exceeded the tongue weight rating by 500%, and had a 4 foot receiver extension!.

Not to worry though. Since it's a GMC, and probably still under warranty, he can call up the White House and get it fixed (On me)!

Good old Bill

driver 444, love your attitude! "get it fixed on me" there are times is does seem to go that way. Good talking to you.

There are going to be many more of those times for the next 3 years and 9 months, at least.
