         I obviously missed this the first time through - Patti's Hensley 
fell apart, and Tony diagnosed that the receiver bent and caused it to 
break.   What is mean by "the receiver bent?"  Is it that the receiver's 
welds failed, leading the receiver to bend prior to complete failure?  I 
know that GM has had problems with their receivers failing (as have Ford 
and Dodge, but I heard that they have done something about it), and the 
weld is the failure point.  How much does a new Class V hitch receiver 
cost?  I have a Hensley and a 1999 Suburban; I wouldn't want to risk losing 
the Hensley because of a receiver failure (which is already bad enough!).
