Default Trailer Hitch
I have a 2018 F150 and haven't towed anything over about 3500 lbs and the hitch is bent downwards, Anyone have any issues with their hitches bending?

No issue here, but sounds like you overloaded the tongue.

I've run some ridiculous tongue weight, and NEVER bent a hitch.

Did you back into something, or get rear ended? The hitch will take all of the impact and could bend without even getting a scratch on the bumper.
