My brother was putting a trailer onto my hitch and noticed that it was unstable. The factory hitch was rusted out thru the metal. Him being a mechanic he decided to put the truck up on the rack. My frame is rusted completely thru!!! because they did not rust proof it right to start. I could have been killed along with my grandson whom I have custody of. No one knew my truck frame was rusted out. It's a beautifully kept truck in great condition. I was not aware of this issue of them not recalling a rustproofing error!!!! omg. A 20k truck is worthless now. Who has to die to fix this!! there is no reason a truck frame should rust through in 10 years!!.
