Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I just purchased a 2007 chevrolet 1500 4/4 in may. when i put the hitch into the receiver i found it to be very loose. the factory towing receiver measured 2-1/4 inches. the factory standard has been 2-1/16 for years. in 2006 cheverlot made this change. the 2006 models were starting to split in the pin holes ,and it will only be a matter of time until the receiver fail, causing trailers too separate from the tow vechile. the receivers were extremely sloppy in both direction's, causing undo strain on the 5/8 hitch pin. thanks for looking into this. *ak
