I would have posted my own Q&A question on this, but someone earlier in the thread said he would ask.

If you look at
FIRST's field drawings the trailer hitch is pretty different than the one in the team drawings. The end of the rod is a hemisphere, so I highly doubt it will scratch the regolith. (Sorry, I can't remember the exact drawing number! It's in there though!)
