Whether you're hauling gear, adding a personal touch, or lining up your connection just right, our hitch accessories are field-tested and backed by real support from folks who've been there.

How do I stop my hitch-mounted gear from rattling while I’m driving?

An anti-rattle device is your best bet. It secures your gear in the hitch so it doesn’t bounce around or make noise while you’re on the road. Plus, it’s really easy to install! Take a look at our FAQ for tips on choosing the right one.

What’s the best way to protect my trailer hitch when I’m not using it?

A hitch cover is perfect for that! It keeps dirt, debris, and moisture out of the receiver and also lets you add a little personality to your vehicle—there are a ton of cool designs to choose from.

Can I use a bike rack made for a 2" hitch on my 1-1/4" hitch?

Yep, you can, but you’ll need a hitch adapter. It’ll let you fit 2" accessories into your 1-1/4" receiver. Just keep in mind that an adapter might reduce the weight capacity of your hitch, so double-check that before loading up.

Why is it so hard to line up my hitch pin when I’m installing stuff?

The problem usually happens because the hitch accessory isn’t perfectly aligned with the receiver, or the receiver holes don’t match up exactly with the pin holes on your accessory. This can make inserting the hitch pin a real struggle, especially if you’re trying to do it on uneven ground or if your hitch receiver has a little play in it.

A hitch pin alignment collar is a game-changer for this. It’s a simple device that attaches to your accessory and keeps everything in the correct position, so the pin holes are perfectly aligned every time. No more wiggling or fighting with the hitch! It’s especially useful if you frequently switch out accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, or ball mounts. Plus, it makes the process quicker and a lot less stressful.

Is there a step I can attach to my hitch to make it easier to reach my SUV or truck bed?

Hitch-mounted steps are perfect for this. They fit right into your hitch receiver and provide a solid step, making it super easy to reach your roof rack, truck bed, or cargo area. They’re super convenient and install in just a few minutes!
