Question:
Is everything on this aluminum? We use our truck on the farm and so something aluminum would be really nice so we don't have to worry about it becoming a big piece of rust.

Hey Linda!
The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount for 2.5" Hitch # WS82CR is a great option for your farm truck because almost everything is made of aluminum. The hitch balls are actually made of stainless steel so they will be just as durable as the aluminum when it comes to the elements. There is also an internal pin that holds the hitch balls to the platform that is a chrome plated steel, but that pin is essentially fully enclosed so it won't be a risk factor for you.
Since it sounds like you'll be keeping the ball mount on your truck pretty much 24/7, I recommend protecting your investment with the Hitch Locking Pin # WS54CR.
