Desolate Motorsports Rear Trailer Hitch – 1980–1996 Ford F-Series

Desolate Motorsports Rear Trailer Hitch – 1980–1996 Ford F-Series

This F-Series Rear Trailer Hitch gives your OBS Ford a functional receiver hitch without sacrificing the ground clearance gained from upgrading the factory rear bumper.

Unlike traditional receiver hitches that hang low beneath the frame, the Desolate Motorsports hitch is designed to tuck up tight to the truck, providing improved ground clearance and a cleaner installation for trucks that see everything from daily driving and towing to trail use.

🔥 Key Features

🛠️ Designed as a Complete System

The factory bumper and many traditional aftermarket hitch systems hang well below the rear of an OBS Ford, reducing departure angle and creating an easy contact point when navigating steep terrain.

Desolate Motorsports designed this hitch specifically around its Plate Rear Bumper, allowing the two components to work together for:

• Increased rear ground clearance

• Improved departure angle

• Clean, tucked-up appearance

• Functional receiver hitch capability

• Integrated bumper mounting

For trucks used on trails, hunting trips, around the ranch, or anywhere ground clearance matters, this setup provides a much cleaner solution than hanging a conventional hitch underneath the bumper.

🚚 Fitment

⚠️ Important Fitment Note

For anyone running the Desolate Plate Rear Bumper who still needs a functional receiver hitch, this is the purpose-built solution. You get the towing capability you need while maintaining the high-clearance, tucked-up rear end that made you ditch the factory bumper in the first place.
