2024 Best Gifts for Haulers & Towers

There are essentials every tower needs but might not think to buy for themselves...and that's where you come in. Be the stand-out gift giver this season and get them something they'll actually use. We’ve rounded up our most popular towing upgrades—items designed to keep them safe, make hauling a little smoother, and enhance their experience mile after mile. (Not to mention earn you some bonus points as their most thoughtful Santa.)

TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge - Digital - 5 to 150 psi

Who it’s for: Anyone who drives, especially towers who are often far from home

This TireMinder Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is not only a useful tool but also the ultimate stocking stuffer for anyone with a calling for hauling. With a range from 5 to 150 psi, it’s perfect for keeping an eye on tire pressure across cars, RVs, and trailers. When in a pinch, the built-in glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, and flashlight add extra practical backup for any situation. It's a small but mighty gift that's sure to come in handy!

Ratchet Tie Down Straps w/ Storage Bag

Who it’s for: The loved one who's always hauling gear in their truck or trailer

For the towing pro who’s always hauling gear—whether it's motorcycles, ATVs, or just keeping things locked down in the truck bed—these ratchet tie-down straps are the perfect gift. With a safe working load limit of 830 lbs, these straps offer peace of mind for any towing job. Plus, the extra-wide handles and quick-release buttons make tightening and unloading simple and stress-free, even for one person.

The included S-hooks with wire keepers ensure that the straps stay connected during transit, while the hook-and-loop straps keep excess webbing from flapping around. And when the job’s done, everything stows neatly in the included storage bag (no tangled strap heap!). This holiday season, give them something they’ll actually use—tough, dependable straps that make securing their load easier, so they can focus on the road ahead.

etrailer Ball Mounts

Who it’s for: The tower that values quality over bells and whistles

When you're shopping for the tower on your list, it's easy to think of all the "extras" that you can add to their setup--and while those extras may be great and thoughtful gifts, giving them the gift of quality is something they will always appreciate. I present to you, quality.

The etrailer series of ball mounts stands out for a number of reasons. The first of which is that they all come pre-torqued to manufacturer specifications for the safest possible tow. The second (and likely most noticeable) is the black nickel finish. More than just a cosmetic upgrade, this nickel plating stands up to 72 hours of salt spray testing, which is 50% longer than the chrome alternatives flooding the market. Lastly, there is a ball mount for everyone, with a number of rises and drops available for those towing a single trailer, to adjustable ball mounts to those with a whole fleet of towables. Don't overthink your gift this year, sometimes the simple ideas are the right ideas.
