Upgrade your towing experience with the patent-pending Trail Force® air ride hitch and draw bar mount, specifically engineered for SUVs, flatbed trucks, and service body vehicles equipped with inside-the-bumper receivers. This innovative system replaces the harsh jolts, bangs, and sways of a traditional hard connection with a remarkably smooth, cushioned air ride. At the heart of this setup is a heavy-duty draw bar attachment tailored specifically for daily farm and ranch towing applications. Whether you are hauling flat-towed agricultural equipment, hay wagons, or pin-style trailers, this system filters out road shock to provide a safer ride while significantly reducing wear and tear on both your vehicle and your valuable implements.
Attached to this smooth-riding base is the rugged draw bar mount, featuring a 1″ diameter hitch hole for incredibly fast and easy hookups. This mount is paired perfectly with the Trail Force base frame’s 10 adjustment holes to provide incredible versatility ranging from a 0″ rise to a 6.5″ drop. While the Trail Force base hitch itself can firmly support up to 14,000 lbs Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 1,400 lbs. Tongue Weight (TW), it is crucial to note that this specific adjustable draw bar is designed strictly for flat-towed loads. Because it does not support downward force, the mount is rated for 0 lbs on TW. Please be aware: (This is NOT for use with a hitch ball).
Beyond its rugged agricultural utility, the built-in air ride system acts as a powerful buffer against rough highways and gravel roads. By simply adding or reducing air pressure to match your specific load, the integrated air bag and dual bump cushions instantly absorb unwanted vibrations and impacts. Proudly manufactured in America by Shocker Hitch® USA in Jamestown, ND, the Trail Force features an impact-resistant matte black textured powder coat finish designed for years of reliable use. It perfectly combines heavy-duty utility with advanced air ride technology to deliver unmatched comfort and control on any journey.
Note: This SUV, inside the bumper mount, hitch will not work with vans, CUVs & 2WD pickups as the frame is too long when mounting to a receiver hitch under the bumper. However, it will work on 2500, 3500 & taller than stock pickups that have at least 19″ ground clearance from the bottom of the hitch.
