Experience a completely new level of smooth towing with the patent-pending Trail Force® air ride hitch and Channel Pintle Mount. Specifically engineered for SUVs, flatbed trucks, and service body vehicles equipped with inside-the-bumper receivers, this rugged setup takes the punishing strain out of hauling heavy loads by firmly supporting up to 14,000 lbs Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 1,400 lbs of Tongue Weight (TW). The integrated air ride system and dual bump cushions act as a powerful buffer, actively filtering out the harsh bumps, jerks, and tugs associated with rough roads.

Attached to this smooth-riding hitch is a heavy-duty, highly versatile 10-ton channel pintle mount. Engineered specifically for rugged hauling, this dedicated attachment securely fits standard 6″ OD x 3″ ID pintle rings, making it the perfect solution for pulling heavy-duty contractor gear, dump trailers, or agricultural equipment. To ensure a perfectly level tow every time, the Trail Force base features 10 adjustment holes that pair seamlessly with the channel mount pintle, providing exceptional flexibility and yielding a highly versatile 3″ to 9″ drop to accommodate various loads and vehicle heights.
Installation and on-the-fly tuning are incredibly simple, making this an ideal upgrade for your heavy-duty daily chores. Once secured in your receiver tube, simply add or reduce the air pressure to fine-tune the suspension, perfectly matching your specific trailer weight and the terrain ahead. 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, hard-working use. This setup perfectly combines rugged durability with advanced air ride technology to deliver a vastly superior towing experience.
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.
