Yes, the previous owner cut a hole in the truck bed
The install diagram shows that a 12-7/8" x 8" hole (see diagram) must be cut in the truck bed
for this "folding" ball hitch.
I certainly wish he had installed a turnover ball like B&W, instead of this Atwood folding ball with the big hole in the truck bed. But, this is what he installed. The ball pivots 90 degrees up and down to the side. The trap door covers the ball when it's down, and locks the ball upright when the ball is up.
Thanks for giving your opinion. I can't see how mounting it under or over the truck bed would make any difference with towing capability or safety.
