The hitch is there no ball in it usually. If the receiver hitch is still pristine with not wear from putting in the ball that’s a dead gateway for grocery getters. There are three types of truckbros in the North Texas burbs. The dodge ram diesel bros who put pipes and drive around blowing smoke and noise everywhere with ridiculous 20 inch rims and jacked up trucks with street rubber on them they couldn’t go off-road of the wanted too those fragile rims would crack. The second is the ultra premium platinum edition truckbros they are the king ranch or whatever edition all leather never had a scratched bed. The third is the 4 door jacked up Jeep mafia with all the ridiculous stickers and wraps or rhino lining paint jobs.
I.hang out at a huge sports bar where the girls are in tbacks and bras by 530 the lot is packed with perfectly clean jacked up trucks all backed in and middle aged office workers swarming for happy hour and mostly naked girls. It’s all collared shirts and polos not work cloths. Those guys bring their actual work trucks or vans at lunch time with tools and ladders and stuff. Those guys are in shirts with their names on them or painters smoks. They all clear out by 130 back to the job site none of those trucks have leather seats or wood grain anything. White truck or van old and banged up to crap.
I bring my F250 PS diesel right from Midland oil patch covered in red west Texas dirt from time to time as it’s on my way home well 40 min in the Midland direction vs home so it’s a pit stop. My truck only does truck things that’s its purpose I have cars and SUV for city stuff. The Expedition twin turbo get the nod if 4 or more people need to be taken to a night out. Otherwise it’s the Model 3 or Volvo. The truck gets put up until it’s needed for trips to a rig or field site.
Around here the style is to have a dropping hitch in the receiver and a ball on the hitch. And of course all of it pristine. My sense is a truck with no hitch would be considered sort of neutered.
