So this is what our trailer hitch is going to look like installed. Now, thankfully, most of it is actually hidden behind our bumper here, so the only thing we're going to see is the receiver tube. Therefore, we get a very factory like finish. Now, what we can see, the receiver tube, it has a nice black powder coated finish, which is going to do a great job of helping the hitch hold up to rust and corrosion, being that it is on the underside of the vehicle. And it also, again, helps it blend in more due to our black plastic panels here.

So, here's what our trailer hitch looks like installed. It has what's known as a hidden design, meaning that the cross tube is actually gonna be tucked up behind the bumper here.

And number two, it provides the best overall aesthetics, because we have more of a factory look there, with most of the trailer hitch being hidden.

It's also gonna provide the best ground clearance because the receiver tube is tucked up nice and tight underneath the bumper. So if we take a closer look, we're gonna see a durable black powder coated finish, which is gonna help, one, blend in with the bumper well, and two, it's gonna help protect it from rust and corrosion, being that it's on the bottom of the vehicle here. We're also gonna have a nice rounded collar on our receiver tube opening.
