Sure doesn't look like it to me. Looks like either a grade 5, or more likely a zinc plated grade nothing. As mentioned above, that is not the biggest problem though...

That's what you get when you take your truck to Camping World for a hitch installation.

The only part that is correct is the lock.

Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Sweety....Why don't you take a nap in the trailer while I drive? It's so comfy back there.

I've seen this workmanship before. Definitely an Indiana transplant.

So instead of dropping a $12 ball in the hole the factory bumper provides, you spend $90 on that accident waiting to happen.

I think that's a locking hitch pin, not a screwdriver....but it doesn't really make it any better, lol. The first time this guy applies the brakes in a turn, things are gonna get real interesting real fast. That is, if he makes it that far!

"It'll be fine, did it all the time when I lived in Minnetonka, MN."

Mind you this is where I saw a boat trailer chained to the spare tire of a Grand Am. Guy wasn't concerned in the least, "I'm just going to the lake, it'll ride."
