Over our years of off-roading we’ve learned the hard way that hard rocks and trailer hitches don’t play well together. One afternoon of impacts can grate your nerves and turn your 2” square receiver into scrap metal. That’s why we engineered the Rugged Ridge Hitch Skid Plate from an incredibly strong ¼-inch steel plate so it brushes off severe impacts without skipping a beat. The skid plate assembly fits any standard 2” receiver and features a built-in step granting convenient access to truck beds cargo areas or roof-mounted racks. Finished with a lightly textured black powder coat the Hitch Skid Plate looks at home on the pavement and in the backwoods with a design that functions flawlessly in any terrain.
