We just got back home today from a great long weekend of Camping. I unhitched from the 5er as I aways do, pulled the truck out and the unhitch was completed. I look in the mirror and see the wife picking something up from the ground. I get out and discover that parts have broken from our Automatic PullRite Hitch. I couldn't beleive it.
This is my hitch by PullRite

This Pin is what Broke, plus the cam was bent. When I got back from the dealer, went over everything again, checked everything and yet I still can't determine how this happened.
This has left me very very concerned about this hitch. All year so far it has been working flawlessly and then this happened today. I never deviate from any hitching proceedures and I take all precautions.
I called my Dealer and dropped it off to them to investigate and repair the hitch. They are great and I know the Hitch is in good hands.
I tried attaching a picture but couldn't make it work.
I will keep trying
