I received the hitch, but the box showed signs of water damage. When I opened it up, the powder coating was peeling and the metal underneath it was rusty.
It’s obvious that it was like that long enough that it was already rusting. Since I knew replacing it would have been more of a hassle, I just installed it and move on. If you are picky, be sure to say something. I just cleaned it up and put a little black paint on it to hide the obvious spots.
