Note: This rack receiver is for hitch-mounted accessories only. The receiver tube included with this hitch cannot be used for towing.
If you would like to upgrade this rack receiver for towing, you will need to purchase the Stealth Hitches towing kit (SH28GR for the 2023-2024 Palisade, or 391CONVPT5L for the 2020-2022 Palisade - both sold separately). The ball mount included in this kit inserts into the center block of the hitch in place of the receiver attachment. A 2" hitch ball is included with the ball mount, making it ready to tow with out of the box.
If you want to take your bikes to the trail with your family this summer, you have plenty of options. You can carry your bikes on top of your car with a roof rack, but that bulky rack can increase drag on your ride. You can use a trunk rack, but that's a pain to mount and it can scratch your car's paint. Or you can install a hitch on your ride and use a hitch-mounted bike rack to carry your bikes.
This rack receiver is designed to act as a mounting point for your hitch bike rack or cargo carrier. Just slide the shank of your carrier into the receiver for use, and when you're done you can not only remove the carrier, but the receiver as well, leaving your vehicle looking clean and unmodified.
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath its bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches rack receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the hitch receiver visible. Even better, the receiver can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use so that you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to carry your bikes and gear on the next family road trip.
The receiver can be attached or detached in seconds with no tools required. To insert the receiver, simply pop the base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the receiver. When you're finished carrying your bikes or cargo, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the receiver. You can stow the receiver in a safe place, like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASER - sold separately).
And when you're not using the receiver attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.

This completely hidden hitch keeps your vehicle looking like it just came off the assembly line. Remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when you're not carrying your bikes to the trail. Only for use with hitch-mounted racks and carriers.All I can say is the company and the hitch are Excellent in every way. We love that you don’t have to see the hitch when you are not using it.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I received my hitch 2 days before the original delivery date, the instructions were easy to read and follow with no issues. I had to shave the inside of my bumper 1/8 of an inch and I did that to have a bigger gap than the 1/32 gap I was going to have.
I would give this a 5 star.. In actual use it is perfect for our Palisade which we use for adding a bike hitch. Once installed I can add the 2 inch hitch block, then bike rack in a few mins... then remove after riding so that you can not see we have a hitch installed. The missing star is only for the install.. The tolerance is SOOO close I had to grid a bit off, prime and paint. I believe this was more due to heavy welds on the frame, not on the hitch.. But it caused a bit of extra work on install, or I assume a few extra hours of labor charge.. Outside that it is rock solid, and fits perfect on 2021 Calligraphy Palisade.. Bike rack has had hours and hours of road time no issues. Have not towed,, just Bike rack per instructions.
First rate quality, easy installation.
Wife loves hitch on her 2021 Pallisade. Only complaint is that 4 bolts packaged were too short. Home Depot To the rescue.
1/2 inch bolts were only 2 inch instead of being 4 1/2
Install was easy. The hitch works great. Easy to take hitch on and off.
Great service and fast shipping.

After a year of use this product is solid. We have 4 mountain bikes on a hitch and there is no wiggle even on a number of long highway trips. My wife loves that you can not see the hitch at all until you need it.
