It's almost like this vehicle was designed and built as a joke

That was hilarious.

The tow ball was connected to nothing and just popped on off

No, it's worse than that. Way worse than that. The rear bumper/tow assembly is, apparently, fully integrated into the actual frame rails of the truck, which are cast aluminum, rather than being bolted in as a separate peice. The entire rear frame crossmember snapped off during this stunt, which effectively totals the truck. In order to fix that, you'd need to fully strip the frame and transplant every component onto a new one, since the frame is one monolithic piece and you can't really repair it and be assured that it maintained its structural integrity.

I'm not sure there's any structural integrity to maintain.
