Video Transcript for Bulldog Winch Off Road Accessories - Tow Hook - Loop - BDW20182 Review

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



by:

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!

This hook is awesome. Performs as I need it to. Its also a good rear end protector from tailgaters....lol



by:

This thing is great very well made and heavy duty. Same thing as a monster hook but less money definitely will recommend



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Yet to be used - but a meaty looking hook... Can't imagine anything wrong with this beast!

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

  • Load Capacity of Bull Dog Winch Big Dog Hook for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Bulldog Winch Big Dog Hook for 2" Hitches # BDW20182 according to my tech contact at Bulldog exceeds 30,000 lbs capacity, so you will only be limited by the 2 inch hitch receiver capacity.

  • Weight Rating of the Bulldog Receiver Hitch Tow Hook with Rope Keeper Part # BDW20182
    The Bulldog Winch Big Dog Hook # BDW20182 is rated for up to 35,000 lbs working load, but the actual capacity for your application will be limited by your hitch capacity and vehicle. I researched your 2013 Ford Explorer and it has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, so that will be the max capacity of your hook unless your actual hitch is rated lower. You will always need to abide by the lowest rated component of the towing set up.

  • Where is the Bulldog Winch Big Dog Hook Made
    The Bulldog Winch Big Dog Hook part # BDW20182 is made overseas but it does have a lifetime warranty so if there were every any issues with the tow hook, you'd be covered. It's not the same style but if you're looking for something made in the USA I recommend the BulletProof Hitches Shackle Hitch part # ED20SHACKLE.

  • Replacement Hitch Head for Reese Straight-Line 17K Weight Distribution System
    Thank you for all of the details and photos! The Replacement Head # RP58167 and Curt Hitch Ball # C40008 are what you need to complete the 12K system. Since this same head is used for the 12K and 17K systems all you need to do is get two of the 1.7K tongue weight arms # 66010 to upgrade to the higher rated system. By using the larger arms you get the 17K kit # RP66075 which has a tongue weight range of 1,100 lbs - 1,700 lbs that's perfect for either loaded weight you mentioned needing. The...
