rear ended on the tow hitch, what should i check for damage?

[Leon00000]

hello, guys! long story short, i visited my father-in-law today, we i had some drinks, so i let my wife drive the truck (21's tahoe) back. What a stupid decision, she backed directly to the wall and leave a nice dent on the cement.

thankfully i have not removed my tow hitch. The hitch looks got some scratches. I ve heard some people got rear ended on the hitch and got frame damaged, should i worry that? Wasn't fast, maybe 10-20 km/h.

I think you are probably fine.

There are a couple........

Is one, when you go drink at the in-laws you take the wife's car, not the truck?

I hope you overestimated the speed. 10-20 kph into concrete is going to do damage.
