    I leave my hitch in at all times. Every vehicle I have owned has been rear-ended, either while moving or parked. This has only increased due to the advent of cell phones and shitheads texting while driving.

    Its not surprising you get rear ended all the time... Look how many people in this thread cant even avoid walking into their hitches... now imagine these same people driving at 70 mph.

    actually I sort of agree with it.

    what's the point of a bumper if you have a huge metal rod sticking out the back end?
