A front-mounted receiver for the Chevy BrightDrop EV, with the ratings and sensor details that matter.

For fleet orders, review fleet upfitting and contact a Torklift Central retail specialist to confirm compatibility.

A front receiver changes what a work van can do. Push a plow, run a winch, carry cargo up front, or add front-mounted accessories, and suddenly a delivery EV earns its keep in more seasons and more job types. This BrightDrop NorthHitch product guide covers the front-mounted receiver for the Chevy BrightDrop EV, the ratings you need to plan around, and the sensor compatibility that keeps the vehicle behaving normally.

The BrightDrop NorthHitch is a front-mounted receiver hitch for the Chevrolet BrightDrop. As a towing equipment provider serving commercial customers, Torklift Central can help fleet managers and operators match the hitch to the right accessories without overreaching on ratings.

What the BrightDrop NorthHitch Is

The NorthHitch is a front-mounted receiver for the Chevy BrightDrop EV. It fits the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 BrightDrop 400 and BrightDrop 600. The SKU is X7924S, and it uses a 2 inch stainless steel receiver.

A front receiver opens up accessory options that a rear hitch cannot reach. If you also want rear utility, the BrightDrop rear EcoHitch covers the back of the vehicle.

The Ratings You Plan Around

Ratings are where front-mounted planning lives or dies, so here are the numbers. The NorthHitch is rated at 750 pounds tongue weight at the trailer ball and 10,000 pounds line pull.

Hitch ratings and do not override the vehicle's factory-published ratings. Use Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to estimate the load and plan your set up. 

Front Cargo and Snow Equipment

This is the practical part. Properly rated accessories may include E-Bike racks, cargo trays, winches, snow plows, and Lock and Load and Lock and Load SideKick accessories.

For a fleet, a front receiver is a way to stretch a vehicle across seasons and tasks. The same van that carries cargo up front in summer can run a plow in winter, provided each accessory is properly rated for the hitch and the vehicle. That flexibility is the practical reason many operators add a front receiver in the first place.

How Cargo Position Affects Capacity

Here is a detail that trips up a lot of front-mounted setups. Accessories which move weight away from the receiver reduce effective tongue weight capacity.

That means a cargo tray loaded out at the far end puts more leverage on the receiver than the same weight held close in. When you plan a front cargo setup, account for where the weight sits, not just how much it weighs.Use Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to estimate the load and plan your set up. 

Fleet Planning and What to Verify

For a fleet rollout, start with Torklift Central's fleet products and fleet upfitting pages, and review the NorthHitch BrightDrop announcement for the full feature list. Torklift Central has supported fleet projects for companies such as Penske and McKinstry, along with local businesses, municipalities, and individual customers who need more than a standard install. With on-site engineering, fabrication, and installation capabilities in Kent, WA, the team can review real-world vehicle needs, build requirements, and workflow demands before recommending the right service path.

Before you order, run through the checklist.

  • Your exact BrightDrop model and year, matched to X7924S.
  • Each accessory against the 750 pound tongue weight and 10,000 pound line pull hitch ratings.
  • The vehicle's factory-published ratings, which the hitch does not override.
  • Where cargo weight sits, since distance from the receiver reduces effective capacity.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE:

While EcoHitch®️ trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.

Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.

To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).

Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.
