A retail shopper’s guide to understanding the SuperHitch dual receiver design before you order a truck camper towing setup online.
If you carry a slide-in camper and still want to tow a trailer, the hitch on the back of your truck has a harder job than a standard receiver. The Torklift SuperHitch was designed around that exact challenge, and its patented pending dual receiver design is one of the first things worth understanding before you place an order. This guide explains what SuperHitch dual receivers do, why they matter for truck camper towing, and what to confirm before you buy through Torklift Central.
Torklift Central is a national online retailer and towing equipment provider, with a direct line of communication to the manufacturer in Royal City. That means our job is to help you compare the right SuperHitch options, gather the measurements and ratings that matter, and order with confidence rather than guessing.
The Problem: A Camper Sits Between Your Truck and the Trailer
A slide-in truck camper changes the geometry at the back of your truck. The camper often extends past the rear bumper, and that overhang sits directly in the path where a trailer coupler would normally connect. A standard receiver hitch mounted flush to the frame can end up tucked behind or beneath the camper, which makes it difficult or impossible to reach the trailer safely.
This is the core truck camper towing problem: the trailer connection point may need to reach out beyond the camper so the coupler, safety chains, and wiring have room to work. Torklift designed the SuperHitch system to address this kind of demanding, real-world towing scenario.
What SuperHitch Dual Receivers Actually Do
Torklift designed the SuperHitch with a dual receiver configuration to support compatible truck camper towing setups. In practical terms, that design gives the system the ability to work with a hitch extension when reach is needed behind the camper, rather than relying on a single fixed opening.
The customer benefit is flexibility and reach. Instead of forcing a standard ball mount into a spot the camper is blocking, a compatible SuperHitch and extension arrangement can position the connection point where the trailer actually needs it. That can make hookup safer and more workable for owners who tow behind an overhanging camper.
- Benefit: reach behind the camper so the coupler, chains, and wiring have usable room.
- Benefit: a coordinated system designed for heavy-duty truck camper towing rather than a patchwork of unrelated parts.
- Benefit: an ordering path where the receiver and the extension are meant to work together when compatibility is confirmed.

How SuperHitch and SuperTruss Work Together
For truck camper owners with camper overhang that are looking for a heavy duty towing solution, a SuperHitch and SuperTruss extension system offers the highest weight ratings on the market. The SuperHitch provides the patented dual heavy-duty rear receiver, and the SuperTruss provides the reach that carries the connection point out past the camper so you can hook up a trailer.
This is why many shoppers ask, "Do I need a SuperHitch for SuperTruss?" The answer is yes. The SuperTruss extension uses a dual truss design that is only compatible with SuperHitch systems. This dual receiver design allows for the heaviest weight ratings on the market. The right combination depends on your truck, your camper overhang, and the current rating chart, so use the Find Your Fit tool to confirm your fitment.
Why Camper Overhang Changes the Whole Order
Camper overhang is the measurement that drives most SuperHitch and SuperTruss decisions. The farther your camper extends past the truck’s rear frame, the more reach your setup may need to clear the camper and present the trailer coupler at a workable point. Other hitch extenders available cannot meet the heavy duty ratings that the SuperHitch and SuperTruss offer.
Overhang affects more than just extension length. A longer extension changes leverage on the system, which is why extension length and current ratings are tied together. This is also why we never recommend picking a length by eye. Measure your camper overhang, then match it against the current SuperTruss rating chart and product guidance.
Ratings and the Lowest-Rated Component
A truck camper towing setup is a chain of parts: the SuperHitch receiver, the SuperTruss extension, the ball mount, the trailer coupler, the safety chains, and the wiring. Each part carries its own rating, and the usable limit of the whole system is set by the lowest-rated component in that chain.
That principle matters at the shopping stage because a strong receiver does not raise the limit of a weaker ball mount or coupler, and no part of this system raises your truck’s factory towing capacity. Review the ratings for every component together, and treat your truck manufacturer’s numbers as the final ceiling.
What to Verify Before You Order
Before you complete a SuperHitch order, gather the details that determine fitment and ratings. Confirm your truck year, make, model, and configuration so you can verify SuperHitch fitment. Measure camper overhang so you can plan extension reach. Note your trailer weight and tongue weight so you can review ratings against the rating chart. When any of these are unclear, contact a Torklift Central retail specialist before ordering.

Do I need a SuperHitch to use a SuperTruss?

How does camper overhang affect my order?
Camper overhang determines how much reach your setup needs and can influence which extension length is appropriate, which in turn interacts with current ratings. Measure your overhang before choosing a SuperTruss length.
Does a SuperHitch increase my truck’s towing capacity?
No. A hitch or extension never increases your truck’s factory towing capacity. Your truck manufacturer’s ratings remain the final limit, and the lowest-rated component in the connection sets the usable towing limit of the setup.
What should I verify before I buy?
Verify truck fitment, measure camper overhang, confirm trailer weight and tongue weight, and review the current rating chart. If anything is unclear, contact a Torklift Central retail specialist before ordering.
