Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver (Fits 2ft Receivers) - Durable

In this review the Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is presented as a straightforward, heavy duty recovery accessory for truck and SUV owners who tow or venture off road. The bottom line: it is for anyone who wants a stronger, purpose-built recovery point than a hitch ball and values quick installation and proven strength. The reviewer found the unit installs in seconds, fits standard 2' receivers, and gives a clear benefit when connecting a tow strap or kinetic rope during a recovery.

Key Features

• Quick Installation: The unit slides into any standard 2' receiver and secures quickly so you can get back to work or the trail without fuss.
• Robust Break Strength: Rated over 15+ ton break strength, it provides a reliable anchor for heavy towing or recovery scenarios.
• Trail Safety: Using a D-ring shackle instead of a hitch ball reduces the chance of strap slippage and offers a safer recovery connection.
• Universal Fit: Compatible with class IV 2' receivers common on many full-size trucks and SUVs, so fitment is straightforward for most tow-equipped vehicles.
• Durable Finish: Professionally powder coated with a gloss finish and clear anti-rust protection to resist corrosion in harsh environments.

Who It's For

The Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is aimed at truck, SUV and Jeep owners who already have a 2' receiver and want a dedicated, heavy duty recovery point for tow straps, kinetic rope or soft shackles. It is especially useful for off road enthusiasts and anyone who prefers a D-ring connection over a hitch ball for safer recoveries.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who do not tow or never leave paved roads, and owners without a 2' receiver since the product is designed specifically for class IV style hitches and requires a hitch pin (not included).

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid construction and heavy gauge steel give confidence in recovery situations.
• Very quick and easy to install into a standard 2' receiver.
• High break strength covers a wide range of towing and recovery needs.

Cons
