Hitch Receivers

Hitch Receivers: the mounting point that turns your truck into a tow rig

A hitch receiver is the steel tube and mounting hardware that bolts to your vehicle's frame and gives you a square opening for a ball mount, pintle, or accessory shank. Without a solid receiver, you have nowhere to hang a trailer, a bike rack, or a recovery point. The receiver carries the towing load and the tongue weight down into the frame, so it is the one piece you do not improvise. Some of the hitch receivers here are complete adjustable ball-mount assemblies, and one is a bolt-on receiver built for a specific vehicle.

What ThreePiece stocks

This is a focused category: 3 products in stock from 2 brands, GEN-Y Hitch and ARB. Prices currently run from $155 to about $560, which is the live range on what is on the shelf, not a standing offer.

The two GEN-Y Hitch units are heavy adjustable drop hitches: a 2.5in shank, 6in offset drop, 21K rating with dual-ball and pintle lock at $559.81, and a 2.5in shank, 9in drop, 3K tongue weight, 21K version at $519.81. The ARB high-version receiver at $155 is the vehicle-specific bolt-on end of the range.

How to choose

The split here is simple. If you already have a receiver on the truck and need the mount that drops down to a level trailer, the two GEN-Y Hitch adjustable units are what you want. They ship with dual-ball and pintle hardware and use a 2.5in shank, so confirm your vehicle's receiver opening is 2.5in before ordering. The difference between them is drop and stated tongue weight: the 9in drop unit lists a 3K tongue weight, the 6in offset gives you less drop and more clearance flexibility. Both carry a 21K rating.

The ARB receiver is a different job entirely. It bolts to a specific vehicle rather than plugging into an existing receiver, so fitment matters more than capacity shopping. In the fitment data we have, coverage points to the Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2007 to 2014 - check that against your build before buying.

What else you need

A receiver is one part of a working tow and recovery setup. Pair it with Tow Hooks for recovery points, and if you run a trailer, sort your lighting and rear visibility with Tail Lights and Turn Signals. For rock and spray protection behind the wheels, look at Mud Flaps. All of these sit under the Exterior section, and if you are building a truck out, the Truck and SUV category covers more of the same.
