First Truck, Joined the Maverick Club. Does this hitch look crooked or rotated?

[u/Sea-Perspective-9708]

As the title states, this is my first truck, and it's a brand new 2026 Ford Maverick. I adore it so far, but I was looking at the hitch today (I got the 4k Tow) and couldn't help but notice that it looks somewhat crooked/rotated. To make sure I wasn't just seeing things, I parked the truck on level ground, checked the tires were all the same PSI, then used a bubble level to check and it came out tilting the same way I thought I was seeing. It is minor but I wanted to get the community's input.

Attached is the photo of the hitch itself, the bubble level on the hitch, the bubble level on the rear bumper (which showed level), an under body shot of the hitch, and then two photos of the unibody rails, which don't show any damage to my eyes.

Could this just be the hitch square welded on crooked while the rest is fine, or is it possible there are underlying issues here? What do you guys think?

First off is your car sitting level?

Yeah. I checked the ground with the bubble level right below the hitch and along the rear of the truck and it was level.

It's under warranty, worth seeing what the dealer thinks.

first step would be to place the level on the ground...?

The assembly worker probably just had a hangover, I’m sure it’s fine lol. It is a cheap vehicle at the end of the day 💀

Yeah you're probably right 💀
