This hitch opens up your vehicle to all kinds of light and moderate towing. With a Class III rating, a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,000 lbs, and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs, it’s perfect for small trailers, campers, and utility loads. The 2" x 2" receiver gives you the versatility to mount bike racks, cargo carriers, or ball mounts without any adapters. Whether you’re hauling a trailer or loading bikes for the weekend, it’s built for dependable strength every time you hook up.
You don’t need a lift or welding gear to install this hitch. It’s a fully welded design that bolts onto your vehicle’s frame with no drilling required. Everything you need is in the box — complete hardware kit and installation instructions — so you can mount it in your driveway with basic tools. The precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up exactly where it should, making installation a straightforward DIY project.
The sturdy steel construction is finished with a matte black powder coat over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. This rugged coating doesn’t just protect against corrosion — it also hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than glossy finishes. The result is a hitch that keeps its clean, understated look even after years of use while standing up to road grime and weather.
If you want added stability when towing heavier loads within its limits, this hitch maintains its full strength when used with weight distribution. The maximum GTW remains 4,000 lbs and maximum TW stays at 600 lbs when paired with a compatible system. That gives you flexibility to adjust your setup later without changing out your hitch.

Hey Jacklyn! I am sorry the hitch arrived that way. Just wanted to check and see if you have already checked the hitch receiver for the hardware because a lot of times that is where they pack it to keep it safe in situations like this. If its not there we will definitely get some replacements headed your way!

We have used this trailer hitch a few times this past year for two e-bikes that together weigh about 200 lb. They were easy to attach and stayed very secure. Highly recommend!
