JamieGeek. You are correct it is rusted indicating a the split has been there for a while. But it is not welded to the frame. The Reese hitch is bolted to the frame chassis. The chassis is a single solid piece (or it was before it split). This split is the largest concern. While it maybe a non-standard 1 off problem, it could also indicate a number of other issues to include poor engineering/design.
