Frame bent at hitch mount

Let a buddy use my truck this weekend to go camping. He used it to tow a trailer but didn't use a drop hitch receiver to compensate for the lift. My frame is now bent downwards in the rear where the hitch mounts onto the frame. The hitch is now bent about an inch below the rear bumper. Anyone know where I should take my truck to get it looked at or anything else i should do?

 

pull off the receiver hitch take it to a Frame shop., have your buddy pick up the bill for a new hitch and frame shop labor.

 

Yeah. He needs to pay for the damages. Some people borrow a cup of sugar or something like that, but a truck? I'd tell even my closest friends to go rent one. I'll help out with stuff, but I'm driving it.

 

First mistake - letting someone else borrow your rig

Get it fixed and give him the bill and NEVER let him borrow your truck again!!!!

If someone needs a truck to move something - there's one condition - they load and I DRIVE!!!

 

how the heck could towing a trailer bend your frame? What was he towing, a house?

 

He didn't put a drop hitch to con

 

To compensate for my lift. Talked to him earlier today. Taking the truck to a frame shop first thing tomorrow. And yes never again will I let someone borrow it...

 

The only person that has driven my truck is my wife...and I really had to think about it.

 

call Toyota, maybe they'll give you a new one
