Not planning any off-roading, short of a dirt-road or grass field. Where I have departure-angle problems is where I'm
going, as opposed to where I'm coming from. We like to visit my parents in the Smoky mountains, and typically take a bike or two along.
There are some
on road transitions that can have problems up there! I did measure in advance, but it was difficult to fully judge the problem until I tried the hitch in person.
I have no plans to leave the hitch in the receiver when not towing.
Yes, I know there are simpler/cheaper solutions, I was just guilty of getting something I thought was cool (and it is, really) for my cool new truck
...
But to be honest, when you have nothing, and add up all the locking pins, different drop hitches, balls, etc. of equivalent quality and load carrying capacity it isn't that
hugely more expensive. But, it turns out not to be a good fit for me... Oh well.
I am planning on getting a Toyhauler within the next year or so, but my thought is that I would be getting some sort of anti-sway, weight-distribution sort of setup for that, and probably wouldn't be using this hitch for that, anyhow...
