I love my trailer hitch

There is nothing better then a big truck and with a 2" reciever in bad weather. This thing has saved my vehicle from damage several times now. One time I had the hitch on and a guy hit me in the rear while the car was parked and his front end was messed up and the vehicle never even touched my car, the hitch kept him at bay.

This morning while stopped trying to make a left hand turn I see a mini van in my rear view mirror approaching and skidding on the ice. He is not stopping and is going to hit me. So I floor it and keep the vehicle straight but he caught up and hit me in the rear and I hear a large thud!...but my vehicle was moving foreward at the time of impact. Anyway I get out and NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO MY TRUCK. I look at his and the front plastic airdam is shattered. He went under my rear bumber and hit the reciever which is very solid. It is not ever scratched. He asks if I am ok and is my my vehicle damaged, I say I am fine, the vehicle is fine, he says he is fine. I say have a nice day and we both drive away. I should have grabbed my neck and tried to sqeeze him for a new boat but I am not that kind of guy.

Nothing like an SUV with a hitch.
