Hitch pricing depends on the vehicle and the product. Below is our rate structure. Contact us for a vehicle-specific quote — we'll have an answer fast.
Class V hitches, 5th wheel preps, gooseneck conversions, brake controllers, and weight distribution systems. We handle the full towing setup — not just the ball mount.
Fifth wheel hitch installation for towing large RVs and horse trailers. We handle kingpin prep, bed liner protection, and wiring integration. Compatible with B&W, Reese, and Curt 5th wheel systems.
Gooseneck ball and safety chain installation for heavy-duty towing of flatbed trailers, equipment haulers, and livestock trailers. Retractable systems keep your bed usable when not towing.
Electric trailer brake controller installation — required by Maryland law for trailers over 3,000 lbs with electric brakes. Proportional controllers modulate trailer braking in sync with your truck. We install and calibrate on-site.
Weight distribution hitches transfer tongue weight from the rear axle to all four wheels — eliminating trailer sway and front-end lift. Required for trailers over 50% of tow vehicle weight. Includes sway control.
We confirm the right hitch class and part number for your exact year, make, and model before ordering anything.
We inspect your vehicle's receiver area and frame mounting points. Any issues are flagged before installation begins.
Installed to manufacturer torque specs. Wiring is routed cleanly and tested for correct trailer light operation.
We do a final pull test and verify all connections before you pick up. Ready in 2–3 hours for most vehicles.

A Stealth Hitch is a vehicle-specific hidden receiver hitch that tucks completely out of sight when not in use — no visible tube hanging below your bumper. They're designed for luxury SUVs and vehicles where aesthetics matter. Stealth Hitches start at $1,000 for parts and labor and are available for most popular SUV models.
In most cases, no. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects you — a dealer cannot void your warranty simply because an aftermarket part was installed. We use OEM-style installation methods that don't compromise your frame or electrical system. If your dealer threatens this, they're misinformed about the law.
Most standard hitch installations take 2–3 hours. Stealth Hitch installs can take 3–4 hours depending on vehicle complexity. We'll confirm your estimated completion time when you schedule — same-day service is available most days.
