KING-PRO Shackle Aluminum Hitch Receiver 2 in - 22000 lb Break

In this review the KING-PRO Shackle Aluminum Hitch Receiver proves to be a practical, heavy-duty accessory for drivers who regularly tow or perform vehicle recovery. It is aimed at truck, SUV and off-road owners who need a corrosion-resistant, high-strength mount that fits standard 2 in hitch receivers. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 7075 aluminum construction and an approximately 22000 lb maximum break strength, which gives confidence when using soft shackles or tow straps for recovery tasks.

Key Features

• 7075 Aluminum Alloy: The forged material provides a high strength-to-weight ratio so the receiver is strong without adding excess weight to the hitch.
• 22000 lb Break Strength: A very high approximate break strength that supports heavy towing and recovery use when paired with compatible hardware and anchors.
• Fits 2 in Hitch Receivers: Designed to install cleanly into common 2 in receiver tubes, making it a direct swap for standard hitch setups.
• Rust-Resistant Coating: The plated finish helps prevent corrosion so the mount maintains its appearance and function in wet or salty conditions.
• Multifunction Use: Appropriate for ATV, UTV, SXS, SUV, truck and 4x4 off-road recovery tasks, offering versatility across different vehicles.
• Value-Oriented: Positioned as a professional-grade accessory at a low cost, delivering reliable recovery hardware without a high price tag.

Who It's For

The KING-PRO hitch receiver is best for owners of trucks, SUVs and off-road rigs who use soft shackles or tow straps and want a durable, corrosion-resistant mounting point that fits a 2 in hitch. It is also useful for anyone who needs a lightweight but strong alternative to heavier steel receivers and wants a clean finished look on the hitch.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who must meet specific certified towing ratings for commercial fleets or who require an exact manufacturer-specified steel shackle mount for warranty or regulatory purposes. Also, if you use nonstandard receiver sizes, this 2 in design will not fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High strength 7075 aluminum gives a strong but lightweight mount for recovery use.

Cons
