Best 2017 Honda Pilot Drop Hitches

I purchased a lifted 2020 Jeep Gladiator equipped with aftermarket JCR bumpers. The challenge was towing my boats. The Patriot hitch with solid steel shaft provided the basis for a solution. The JCR bumper has a hidden hitch receiver up against the spare tire in such a way to preclude the use of the standard hitch pin hole. To solve the problem of the receiver hidden behind the license plate I mounted the upper portion of the hitch upside down. M&G Trailer of MN solved the pin hole problem by drilling a 2nd pin hole in the solid steel shaft. This pin hole is inside the bumper just behind the spare. I installed the lower portion of the hitch to provide the maximum drop needed to align with the boat trailer. The result has proven effective with no distortion in the bumper or the hitch.

It is exactly what needed for our bike rack. We have e-bikes. The bikes weigh between 75 to 80 pounds. We have a Honda Pilot. At 68 years of age picking up one of our bikes to place on a bike rack thats right at 2.5 feet of the ground is a little tough. Now the rack is around 1 foot 7 inches. That's a world of difference in picking up the bikes. Thank-you for producing such a wonderful and useful product.

Bought for lifted truck to tow boat, to be used in conjunction with extended hitch. No tires in the water! Just received and seems to be of great quality. Can’t wait to try.
