Location: Roping pen		The safety chain U bolts that go into the 2 holes on either side of the ball hole are in the incorrect place. They will need redrilled to work properly. They need to be down "IN" the channel of box floor. This allows the U bolt to store below the top of the high part of the channel hence not "catching" on things sliding on the box floor. The BW gives you two places on either side of the ball for the U bolts to be installed. Appears the incorrect ones where chosen.

But other than that, a Ford BW hitch is real easy to put in. No special tools or skills needed.

Good luck.

Location: Texas		I don't know why I even bother.... the jackass meter around here is always through the roof these days!

This truck is less than a year old and now that I know a new BW hitch is almost 700 I'd probably have it moved over too if I was the kind of person that bought a new truck every year.  That's not an issue, it was how the dealership handled it and left it as an afterthought that "oh by the way...we told you this truck was set up to haul but there's holes in it where we once told you there was something useful...". I'd never seen anyone do it before and was just curious if it would be weird or difficult to put something back in without having to do major welding or work or anything.

It's being taken care of.  I think I'll go back to staying far far away now lol.
