This oversized, hitch-mounted hook makes it easy to use large ropes, chains, and straps. Black powder coated steel hook is designed to handle the load capacity of your hitch, which makes it great for use on a farm, oil rig, or logging expedition.
Features:
Specs:
This oversize hook is meant for big jobs that use big ropes, chains, and straps. With a working load limit of 35,000 lbs it's strong enough to handle the load capacity of your truck's 2" hitch. That makes it suited for farming, oil rigging, mining, and logging.
It's made of forged, high-strength steel and has a black powder coat that resists rust. The spring-loaded clasp secures your straps, chains, or ropes to the hook so it doesn't slip off.
It installs easily in your 2" hitch receiver. Simply slide it into your 2: hitch and secure it with a hitch pin (sold separately).

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number BDW20182. This is the Bulldog Winch Big Dog hook for 2-inch hitches. This is going to be made from a forged alloy high strength steel. It's going to have the spring loaded clasps for securing your straps and ropes. Nice, large oversized hook makes it easy to use large ropes and straps. The unit is very easy to install and remove, now it does have some weight to it, but very simple installation.
This portion right here is going to slide into your 2-inch by 2-inch hitch. You're going to slide it in to your pin holes line up with one another and then secure it with a hitch pin and clip or hitch lock. Now your hitch pin and clip or hitch lock are sold separately. You can find those here at etrailer.com if you don't already have one and if you need one. It's going to take your standard 5/8 inch diameter hitch pin or a hitch lock. Now this is going to be great for farming, oil rigs, mining, logging, things of that nature.
Again, it is designed for a 2-inch by 2-inch hitch. Again, solid steel, it's going to feature a really nice black powder coat finish, so it's going to do a good job at lasting a long time when it comes to resisting rust and corrosion. Now when it comes to the capacity of the Big Dog hook, you're going to be limited to the capacity of your hitch. You do not have to worry about exceeding the capacity of this hook, so be cautious of that, that you are limited to the capacity of the hitch that you're installing this in. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. We're going to take a width opening, basically measuring from the widest point here in the center area at the connection point, that's going to give us an opening of about 3 and 1/4 of an inch.
Again, this is going to be great for those larger straps. Taking a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, that's going to give us a measurement of about 2 and 1/8 of an inch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the collar to the back of this portion right here, that's going to give us a measurement of about 3 and 7/8 of an inch. If we take a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the connection area, center of the opening, that's going to give us a measurement of about 9 and 1/2 inches. Then the overall length from edge to edge, that's going to give us a measurement of about 16 and 1/4 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at part number BDW20182..

Toughest recovery product I’ve ever used, stronger than a pintle, you’re more likely to rip your hitch receiver off than break this hook, 10/10 will buy again
This is an amazing product, would recommend to anyone that wants to make their truck look like a beast, works great with all size tow straps, can get some serious work done, fits perfect with a traditional 2 inch hitch, 5/8s pin fits perfect, i recommend buying a locking pin with your purchase of this hook,
Solid forged steel, all soild one piece, sturdy clamp,
This hook is HUGE no joke, 25lbs!!! Could barely lift it off my porch,
Great customer service, they reply to emails within hours. Overall very happy with my Bulldog Big Dog Tow Hook!
I live near the Candian border and pull trucks out of ditches in the snow, this will work some much better thana hitch!
Looks badass on truck! The shipping was immediate arrived sooner than expected!
The hook is massive, not going to have any problem pulling someone out of the snow or mud for that matter. Great product and fast shipping. Can’t go wrong!!!
Love it!
Just what I was looking for.

This hook is awesome. Performs as I need it to. Its also a good rear end protector from tailgaters....lol
This thing is great very well made and heavy duty. Same thing as a monster hook but less money definitely will recommend
Great looking hook. I just got it yesterday so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. As heavily built as it is, I'm sure it will work great for pulling things with my pickup.
I received my Big Dog Hook today and this hook is awesome. I never imagined it would be this huge and solid. I can’t wait to put it to good use. And the ordering process and delivery (sooner than I thought) was awesome as well.
Yet to be used - but a meaty looking hook... Can't imagine anything wrong with this beast!
Great item at a great price
Got it today!! On my 2020 Jeep Gladiator!! Looks great
I recieved this a few days ago. It came in a nicely packed, sturdy box. After opening it up and seeing it for myself, I have to say the quality is awesome! Its a HEAVY shackle. The matte finish on the reciever end is superb (this piece must weigh about 7-10 lbs on its own). The shackle itself has a nice galvanized coating, and weighs about 6-7 lbs! Overall I think it is an awesome addition to any truck, looks great and has all the functionality that you'll probably need out of a shackle. 5/5 would reccomend!
I love this on the front of my F350. Never fails to be a conversation starter
