??? For Fl members

Hey anyone from Fl, can you answer a question for me. I spent 5 days around Tampa and Sarasota this last week, and I noticed that almost all trucks that had trailer hitches no one had a ball on the truck. In other words the reciver was just a big hole with nothing in it. Is it a state law that if you are not pulling a trailer you must remove your ball? Inquiring minds want to know.

You might want to ask this in the South East forum instead of the pic forum.

I keep my hitch in allll the time. Never comes out. It's good for if someone hit's you in the rear---it saves your truck.

I do the same in my work truck. I proved my above theroy. Someone rear-ended me while I was in my F150 4x4 work truck--it totaled their car, it only scuffed the rear bumper pad.. I was amazed.

I just thought it was strange not seeing every reciever with a hitch in it like around here. It's strange what you notice when you are on vacation. I thought that I had posted this in the general fourm but some how it got into the picture post section so here goes. Thanks guys!

Mine comes out when I'm not towing, this goes in its place. I've banged my shins on it one too many times!

Also works wonders when your wife backs into a Cavalier too. Puts a VERY nice square rectangle right on the hood!!

Isn't it amazing, when the wife drives my rig, the mirrors fall off and the "automated neck brace system" engages and it is IMPOSSIBLE for her to look BEHIND her??

Anyone else have a truck/wife like this??
