Reversing the Hitch Handle?
Buying a new truck means having to buy new bling, ...err, essentials to go on it. High on my list is a tonneau cover.
The problem is the hitch handle. it's aimed upwards at a slight angle, and extends above the sides of the bed a couple of inches. It would clearly interfere with the underside of the cover.
I see the handle is attached to a lever in the hitch mechanism with two bolts. If I remove the bolts and flip the handle over, the end will now point rearward and, more importantly, downward, away from the tonneau.
Does anyone know of any problems, drawbacks, or reasons not to do this?
