NHTSA Complaint #10195585 — 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

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
