HitchLink 2.0 Factor 55

The Factor 55 HitchLink 2.0 in orange turns a standard 2-inch receiver into a dedicated recovery point. CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum, it weighs just 1.9 lbs — compared to up to 8 lbs for steel equivalents — without sacrificing strength. The working rating sits at 9,500 lbs, with ultimate failure at 51,000 lbs. Powder coated for oxidation resistance. Engineered, tested, and made in the USA.

Installation is straightforward: slide the unit into the 2-inch receiver opening and secure with a 5/8-inch steel alloy hitch pin (not included). The machined radius on the shackle mount hole accommodates both common 3/4-inch screw pin shackles and soft shackles up to 1/2 inch — no separate adapter needed.

We recommend this for anyone who wants a recovery-ready hitch point that doesn't add unnecessary weight to their rig. One important operational note: always pull in line with the hitch and never exceed your receiver's factory-rated pull capacity. Side-loading or binding the shackle is a hard no. The orange powder coat finish makes it easy to spot in low-light recovery situations.
