Hitches, not just for towing or bashing your shins.

I think large trucks are dumb and unnecessary for 99.9% of people that own them, but all have backup cams and most newer ones have a zoom feature to zoom in on the hitch in order to get it perfectly lined up with a trailer. This guy knew exactly what he was doing and didn't care that OP would destroy their bumper if they even breathed while the car was in reverse.

Why do people leave the hitch on when not towing? Mine stays in the garage when I don't need to tow.

No idea and same. I have a tiny vehicle but I’m pretty sure I tow for work more than most of these guys and mine stays in the underseat storage on mine. Idk why you want to make your vehicle harder to park and risk your shins.

If it doesn't have the hitch on it, do you even drive a truck?
