The matte black finish gives this hitch a rugged, factory-style look that blends right in with your vehicle’s trim. The powder-coated steel resists rust and corrosion, so it can handle road debris, salt, and weather without losing its clean finish. The non-glossy surface also hides small scuffs and scratches better than traditional hitches, keeping it looking good for the long haul.
This hitch has a 2" x 2" receiver opening, which is the standard size for most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts. Rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a 500-lb tongue weight, it’s ready for hauling campers, small boats, or loaded utility trailers. With weight distribution, it can handle up to 7,500 lbs GTW and 750 lbs tongue weight. It’s a solid setup for both towing and hitch-mounted accessories.
No welding or drilling is required to get this hitch on your vehicle. The fully welded design bolts straight to the frame using the included hardware kit and installation instructions. Most folks can install it with basic tools in a driveway or garage. Once it’s on, you’ve got a strong foundation for towing or carrying all kinds of gear without needing any extra modifications.

The hitch looks great loojs like itcwill fit. The bolts that came with it are not the right size for my jeep liberty.
Has done great Thanks
The fit was perfect and hitch was well made. Very happy with the product.
Ordered wrong part. They graciously handled my mistake and sent out correct part right away.
Product installed very easily, and is a perfect fit. UPS treated the package pretty rough, torn in multiple places, but the hitch was not affected. Very pleased.
Good hitch and easy to install.
Great quality product and easy installa tion.
I was very pleased with how quickly I received my product. I didnt find my bolts at first but got specific instructions on where they were. Thanks guys!!
Easy ordering and fast free shipping.
Looks and preforms great, had to run a tap in the existing holes because they were 10 years old & needed some attention. Overall very satisfied!!!
Looks very good. Hope to install this weekend.
Box was torn, but all parts were taped to hitch, so everything is here.
hitch is of excellent quality. once I ran a tap thru the very rusted nuts on my jeep the hitch went on very Easley. All holes lined up perfectly and fit the jeep like a glove.
Excellent product and stellar service.
Product and installation was great.
Came quickly and easy to install.
I received my order promptly and had no issues whatsoever.The trailer hitch is much more sturdy that I was expecting which was a very nice surprise.
I ordered early afternoon and received confirmation that the order had shipped that same afternoon. I prepped the Liberty(removing the stubborn bolt and chasing all the welded nuts). The hitch arrived two days early. I removed it from the box and placed it on my motorcycle jack, rolled and lifted it into place and bolted it on. Easy!
Works as intended. would be 5stars, except i needed to borrow a Highjack to separate the outter ends of the mount as they were bent in upon arrival. not enough to deterr from suggesting this to others, but was no a direct bolt and go either due to this. Works great and have had no issues during use.
The receiver on the hitch is too big. There is too much play between the inside of the receiver and any attachments that one may use. I had to put shims in mine to keep the attachments from moving up and down and side to side. That is a dangerous situation. I'd never buy this hitch again!
The product is excellent, it took a few hours due to the old holes threads were rusted,I had to rethread all 6 holes..but it's strong and sturdy now
Jobs done right.
I’m very happy with the purchase so far. Arrived quickly. Box appears to be undamaged. The price was fair. It’s a great value and a good place to order them from.
Great product, well built.
Installing was easy enough, once I decided to remove the spare tire. My liberty gets muddy often so the nuts needed to be tapped. The supplied bolts look too be good quality.
As expected a perfect fit. Easy install ation.
