Changes to Cybertruck on Tesla Site: High strength, Class IV steel tow bar ?

[TyPope]

I just noticed that Tesla now shows the Cybertruck as having a High strength, Class IV steel tow bar. Has that always been the case?

They're on revision H of that trailer hitch assembly. I don't think there's been any major changes

I thought maybe Tesla switched from an aluminum setup because of... reasons.

I was thinking aluminum fatigue. But, if it's always been steel, I digress. Thank you.

I believe it's always been a steel tow bar even if it wasn't explicitly detailed in the specs before. Regardless it's always had a Class IV rating

The hitch was always steel. It is attached to the rear mega casting, which is aluminum. The aluminum will fail before the steel hitch.
