I just thought I'd share some 3D scanning I was doing today, in preparation for an upcoming project. You'll have to guess what.

If you look closely, you can see some diagonal lines from the top right corner of the pintle box up to the top right (between the marker light and trailer plug). Interestingly, while the scanner picked that up (and they are actually symmetrical on both sides, but hard to see in this image), you can't see them with the naked eye. That's how accurate the scan is!

Receiver hitch?

Diagonal lines look like warpage from welds on the other side.
