My police officer-son in law- noticed that my hitch receiver with the ball on it stuck out about a foot from the back of my truck. He told me there is a new law in Illinois that says if the receiver sticks out more than 4" it has to be removed except for when towing. If the receiver is permanent and can't be removed you must carry a red cap on the ball. I looked it up and they have been trying to pass this law for years. I remove my receiver now when I'm not towing just in case the son in law was right about this.
