Key Features: 

  • Patent Pending Stainless Steel Receiver: The world’s only REAL stainless steel trailer hitch receiver—built to stay rust free for life. Ordinary hitches can develop creeping rust that spreads beyond the hitch, bleeding orange streaks onto your bumper, accessories, and even your garage floor—stains that can’t be scrubbed away. Our stainless steel design stops corrosion before it starts, so your vehicle stays sharp, your gear never fuses in place, and your garage floors or driveways stay pristine. Learn more here.
  • E-Bike Rated: Planning your set up? Be sure to use our new Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to be certain you are not overloading your trailer hitch or your vehicle.

Why Other Trailer Hitches Rust

Traditional hitches may prevent accessories from fusing with the vehicle frame-mounted part but fail to protect against rust, causing inconvenience and limiting hitch usage.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

While NorthHitch®️ 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.
