This a wanderfull new product, highly reccomend, its on my short bed p-up & this item can be seen EZ in my rear view camera & is a excelent guide to help in backing up, if u did back into s-thin, this new item would flex & absorb the impact 1st, same thinf if another car or a person walked into it, just a excelent item, highly reccomend again ! it looks great & it can be used as a half step if needed if your foot is close to the factory mount, the hard rubber will never rust & last forever, it fits sung & tight with supplied curt pin, no rattles,,i think this will make anyone a very nice addition to there resse hith rear end, its very practical with the felling that you can back up with out fear & see the rubber hitch as u back into a toght spot ! . Its worth the money spent.

The “Hitch Hammer” end or tip is made of solid rubber, keeps damage to both cars at a minimum, big plus! However, a warning for purchasers to remove the Hitch Hammer before going through any automatic car wash. Such a warning notice should be included with this product. My “Hitch Hammer” rubber base that fits in the tow hitch was almost completely severed after I made a trip through an automatic car wash. This was not something that I expected to happen to such a solid product that doesn’t protrude that much from my normal in length SUV tow hitch. Attempting to resolve this matter with manufacture now. So far no response to my e-mails via Amazon to manufacturer. In my opinion, the square post that fits in the vehicles tow hitch needs to be made of a solid metal or at least encased in a metal sleeve of some sort. In my opinion this would help prevent any rip away or tear like damage to the “HH” solid rubber post. Take a few mins. to remove your “HH” before you go through any car wash and be a completely happy “Hitch Hammer” owner that will give a 5 star review!

My biggest concern is a low speed hit at red lights and stop signs. The idiot that loves to run up to you bumper and then slow down just before they come to a stop has always been a problem for me. Just drive around and look at the bumper of other drivers. I have always used flush mounted patriotic hitch covers which I prefer but when I purchased an expensive 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4X4 with a V8 engine I wanted that extra protection at red lights and stop signs. It is a nice looking vehicle but having a standard trailer hitch sticking out took away from the appearance. I figured if hit at high speed it will not matter what you have for protection. This Hitch adds a little more class to the look of your vehicle. The reason I chose to give a 4 star rating is only because I wish it were all black without the yellow. Other reviews have mentioned the same concern. Overall I would recommend this item for purchase. Just switched today to a 5 star 2/2/19. Realized the yellow does stand out and people notice it while getting close to you. I have had comments on the hitch and apologize for the original rating of 4.

I bought this for my brand new 2024 Ford Ranger truck. Wanted to protect the rear end for any possible bumps or damage and costly repairs. Haven’t really had a bump against anything yet, but it gives me ease of mind.

I purchased this item to act as a push device more than a protection device. Looks to be durable and made of very tough material. Very well-made. Happy I made the purchase. having a removable 2 inch receiver Added to the front of my Tahoe to accept this for pushing if needed.

Fits nice. I wish I had something like this for my front bumper. It says don’t stand on it but really I think you could let an elephant stand on it.

Works well saves the bumper from hitting a wall made well

So we’ve had kids forget and step on this but it is still hanging in there. The guard itself has actually caused people to not park with their bumper on mine. Which was a rare annoyance but now isn’t an issue. An unexpected benefit!
