That's why I bought the extended receiver versus using an extended hitch insert. It drags on some approaches/departures...but I made a skid plate insert to resolve.
I'm waiting on my switch to come in...been on order over a week. It's definitely a warranty item. I brought the paperwork from the beginning of this post and they didn't even hesitate.
I think that's what just happened to me today! We went trail riding today. Hit a few bogs, but nothing even remotely serious, as mud would go, got home, washed all my under-carriage with my pressure washer. Let it sit for probably an hour. Took off to eat dinner, got probably 15mi from the house...

We live close to San Antonio and just got back from a 2600 mile trip to Utah and back in our 2dr Badlands. Good on and off-road manners. Decent mileage for being a brick and PLENTY comfortable!
We have a base BL/2dr. Very easy to clean up! Went to the TX during a very wet weekend. Mud, sand, grass...all over the interior. It was pretty rough. Got home, only took about an hour to have it looking like new again.

Strange thing...we are road tripping right now in our 2DR Badland w/2.7 auto. When heading north out of the hill country of Texas, couldn't get but 16-18mpg...until we starting getting into some altitude! Once we made it to about Clovis, NM. The rest of the way into Utah, we have been averaging...
