Yep, 3 all from different manufacturers. 1 came with the truck. They seem to get beat up pretty badly after a long trip. The friction that occurs on the sleeve from the movement in the receiver takes off the powder coating exposing bare metal. In time, I'm sure it'll takes its toll on the OEM hitch.

I think the design and workings of the Hensley hitch are pretty severe on the hitch itself as the lateral forces of sway are all focused on that little sleeve.
