Rusty underside frame and rear bumper mount bracket of a truck

While straightening the rear bumper, I noticed this. I have no idea how he managed to break a factory Cl.IV receiver and NOT rip it out of the frame, but he did. I've already ordered a Curt 15015 Cl.V to replace it. The Curt design doesn't bolt to the bolted-in frame extensions for the bumper. Nor does it interfere with the factory spare, or even dual exhaust (not that this truck has that).
