It is the odd one out in the line: every other heavy duty receiver B\u0026amp;W builds is a 16,000 lb GTW Class V, and this one is sized to what a tenth-generation F-150 frame can actually carry. It bolts to six points on the frame, needs no welding, and fits only trucks that still wear the factory rear bumper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo frame-mount side plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter section with the 2\" receiver tube and steel gussets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 8 mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical bracket for a 7-way trailer connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;W installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Piece Interlocking Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hitch comes apart into two side plates and a center section that carries the receiver tube. You bolt the plates to the frame first, with the weight off your arms, then lift the center section up and interlock it. It is the difference between a one-person job and a two-person job, and it is why a hitch this heavy ships in a single box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSix-Point Frame Mount with Grade 8 Hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix bolted attachment points spread the load into the frame rather than concentrating it, and B\u0026amp;W supplies Grade 8 fasteners to make them. Nothing is welded and nothing needs to be, so the install is reversible and the truck's frame coating stays intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass IV 2\" Receiver Tube on Steel Gussets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2\" receiver tube is reinforced with steel gussets rather than hung off the crossbar, which is where a working hitch takes its punishment.

The qualifiers in the Bed \/ Body column are B\u0026amp;W's own and they matter. Bed length changes where the frame brackets land, and a truck wearing a 10\" step bumper does not take the same part as the same truck with the factory bumper, so check both against your truck before ordering rather than going by model year alone. Fitting a hitch does not change what your truck is rated to tow: work to the lower of the hitch rating and the tow rating on your door jamb. Ball mount, hitch pin and clip are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB\u0026amp;W Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e HDRH24400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHitch Class:\u003c\/b\u003e Class IV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReceiver Opening:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGross Trailer Weight (weight-carrying):\u003c\/b\u003e 12,000 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTongue Weight (weight-carrying):\u003c\/b\u003e 1,200 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e Three-piece interlocking, side plates plus center section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrame Attachment:\u003c\/b\u003e Six-point bolt-on, Grade 8 hardware included, no welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReceiver Tube:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\" square tube reinforced with steel gussets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Chain Loops:\u003c\/b\u003e Built into the heavy duty steel gusset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWiring:\u003c\/b\u003e Electrical bracket for a 7-way trailer connector included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e High-gloss black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Mount:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold separately; hitch pin and clip sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e About 64 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 843233001884\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e B\u0026amp;W Lifetime Exclusive Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e Humboldt, Kansas, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Bolt-on to six frame points, no welding and no drilling of the frame  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 1 to 2 hours  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Socket set, torque wrench, and a jack or a second person to hold the center section up while the first bolts start  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Intermediate, DIY-friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork from B\u0026amp;W's HDRH24400 installation sheet, which is in the Resources tab: it carries the torque figures and the bracket positions for this truck.

Their answer was the Turnoverball, a ball that flips over and stows flush with the bed floor, and it is still the product the company is best known for. B\u0026amp;W has built hitches in Humboldt ever since and is one of the last hitch makers still manufacturing in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company has been 100% employee-owned since 2007, with roughly 500 employee-owners who have a stake in what they build. That shows up in how B\u0026amp;W tests. SAE J-2638 is only a recommended practice for gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, and where the standard would allow a separate sample for each test, B\u0026amp;W puts a single hitch through all three 300,000-cycle dynamic tests and the six static tests, one after another. The Tow \u0026amp; Stow receiver line is tested to SAE J-684.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized B\u0026amp;W Trailer Hitches dealer. Every hitch we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full B\u0026amp;W factory warranty, and supported by B\u0026amp;W's own service team in Humboldt, Kansas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026W Trailer Hitches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49106917916916,"sku":"HDRH24400","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/bw-hdrh24400-heavy-duty-receiver-hitch-black-2-in-receiver.png?v=1786363881","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/bw-heavy-duty-receiver-hitch-2-in-receiver-12000-lb-gtw-black-hdrh24400","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
