If you like a clean, factory look when your vehicle isn’t in tow mode, this setup keeps it that way. The direct-connect brackets sit farther back on the frame than standard kits, so when the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are barely visible. Reviewers mention how the twist-lock arms make the whole kit “almost hidden,” which keeps the front end tidy and protects it from scrapes.
Connecting takes only a few seconds with the twist-lock design. Each arm slides into the bracket, twists to lock, and secures automatically. When you’re done towing, pull the built-in ring to unlock, twist back, and slide the arm out—no tools or wrestling required. It’s a simple setup that makes solo hook-ups or disconnects quick and frustration-free.
Every component is built from heavy-duty steel that’s computer-cut for consistent fit and weld alignment. This sturdy construction provides exceptional strength while spreading towing forces evenly along the frame. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and road wear so you can trust it through long hauls and harsh weather alike.
The kit bolts directly to your vehicle’s frame using included hardware—no welding needed. The custom design ensures everything lines up correctly for a secure fit and straightforward install. With clear instructions and mounting hardware in the box, it’s ready for a confident DIY project or easy shop install.
Designed for use with motorhome-mounted tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2—this kit eliminates the need for a crossbar altogether. That direct connection keeps your setup simple and streamlined mile after mile.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?
