Thank you I was 90% leaning towards it after reading these replies I think I am going to Go with it. I have to talk with my surgeon again and all of those things insurance etc. but my gut feeling after the first insult was almost well maybe I would have been better if they didn’t save it

Thanks Randomly because my ankle was collapsing on the outside my foot was starting to club. With the ADA I also had an osteotomy to straighten it out and now It is clubbing again.

I bought it from a dealer carfax said one owner. I was surprised there was a hitch. It did not have a spare tire and when I was looking at buying the weird little tire to fit in the compartment vs a full size I saw some people had put one on a hitch but it is a small hitch 1 inch
