"didn't have a spot where one could be installed"

The hitch is bolted to the frame, if you don't have one installed there's no visual cue that you can't install one

Some people need a truck without needing to tow a trailer, I had a client that had a lifted one to go fill up machinery out in the woods, his bed was a huge diesel tank with a pump, would you have expected him to do that with a Yaris?

A lot of people call the draw bar/ball the "trailer hitch," so I took the comment to mean that the truck in question didn't have a hitch/receiver mounted.

He can do it on a fucking unicycle for all I care, that's not at all what I'm saying.

and not only did it not have a trailer hitch, it didn't even have a spot where one could be installed

Oh no?

The bit about you not knowing much was right though, I'll give you that.

Not everyone needs a truck to tow is my point so judge all you want, you don't know what that person is doing with the truck outside of the little glimpse you took at it.
