Trying to find the name of the aftermarket rear tow bar?

[running_away]

I've seen it in a few pictures on here but I can't think of the name or where to pick one up.

It's a black bar that goes where your tow hitch is. About 2' long.

Any help is appreciated. I tried searching but not knowing the name made it hard to find anything.

is it like a step that goes into the hitch reciever?

You have to be a little more specific about what you are looking for.

Do you mean the 'bar' that inserts into the receiver tube and the ball mounts on? If so, it is usually called a ball mount. If you are talking about the black plastic/rubber plug that is put into the receiver tube to 'dress' it up, I believe it is called a hitch receiver plug. Other than that, I don't know what you are asking.

Sounds like a ball mount. I call it a reciever hitch insert also.

 

[chaz]

you mean something like this?

 

[running_away]

yes chaz like that. Preferably just a bar though, and not the little step that's with it.

What is the proper name for that?

Hey running_away,

Here is a link to a previous thread discussing hitch steps - it shows a pic of my Go Rhino! 3 foot long hitch step in stainless steel on the back of my T4R.
