Features to know about

Keep the Original Look of Your Vehicle: Completely Hidden Hitch Design

A bulky hitch can take away from your vehicle’s clean lines. This hidden rack receiver mounts behind the bumper so the cross tube stays out of sight. The 2" receiver can be removed when you’re done hauling gear, leaving nothing visible and keeping that factory look. When detached, the included hitch plug covers the center block to keep out dirt and debris. It’s a sleek way to carry your bikes or cargo without changing how your vehicle looks.

Quick Attachment and Removal: Tool-Free Receiver Connection

When it’s time to load up for a trip, the receiver snaps into place in seconds—no tools required. Just push it into the stainless steel center block until it latches automatically, then press the side lock to secure it. When you’re ready to put it away, unlock and twist the handle to release and remove. It’s simple, fast, and practical for anyone who prefers quick setup and storage.

Solid Construction for Everyday Use: Stainless Steel Strength

This hitch is built from durable stainless steel that resists corrosion and adds strength for hitch-mounted racks and carriers. It offers a 2" x 2" receiver opening and a maximum 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. The black powder coat finish adds another layer of rust protection while keeping the hitch looking good over time. It’s designed for solid performance trip after trip without affecting ground clearance or blocking your trunk’s foot-access sensor.

Easy DIY Setup: Bolt-On Installation with No Drilling

Installing this hidden rack receiver is straightforward thanks to its simple bolt-on design that uses existing connection points—no drilling or welding needed. The setup protects your vehicle’s crumple zones while giving you a secure mount for your bike rack or cargo carrier. With a few basic tools, you can handle the install right in your driveway and be ready to hit the road with your gear.

It's super nice when the hitch install still allows all the pieces from the car to be put back and used. What will you be hauling with the new hitch? Install looks great, btw :)
