I have a solution for you but the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can only be used with dry-bagged #1 free-flowing rock salt or refined sodium chloride. I verified this information with the manufacturer. The weight of the sand compared to the weight of the salt is the limiting issue. If you use sand and have a failure your warranty will be voided.
The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can be mounted to both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. The in-cab control switch lets you turn the spinner on and off.
Instead I recommend using the SaltDogg Electric Tailgate Salt Spreader for 2" Hitch item # 337TGS07 which can use both salt and sand. The only disadvantage is this one has to mount inside of a truck bed not on a hitch.
I have linked review videos for both products below. Feel free to email me back if you have any further questions.
