Blessed Performance has truck tow hitches and accessories for whatever life throws at you. For everyday towing, you need a simple, reliable hitch that fits your truck. Most daily setups feature a 2-inch receiver paired with a ball mount or sway control hitch. If your truck uses a standard receiver, start by browsing 2.0" hitches built for everyday towing setups.

If you’ll be doing heavier-duty towing and have a bigger pickup, you likely have a 2.5-inch receiver hitch. These higher-capacity truck tow hitches feature reinforced ball mounts, adjustable drop hitches, or sway control systems to provide extra stability at highway speeds. For heavier-duty setups, shop 2.5" hitches designed for larger trucks and more robust towing hardware. Control is the goal.

Not all towing is about trailers. If you use your truck off-road or on job sites, you need recovery and utility accessories. This category of hardware includes:

• Shackle receiver hitches
• Tow hooks
• Tow winches

Your tow hitch makes a great recovery anchor when paired with the right attachments. Blessed Performance offers a huge selection of rugged hardware you can count on.

Choose the Right Hitch Size

The best truck tow hitch size depends on how you’ll use it.

2.0 Hitches

2-inch receiver hitches are the most common size available. Most factory tow packages feature a 2-inch receiver, which means you’ll need a 2-inch hitch. These hitches are best for daily towing and light to moderate trailers. One of the benefits is the sheer volume of options out there. You’ll find tons of accessories.

If your vehicle already has a tow package installed, it probably has a 2.0 hitch. If you aren’t sure, measure the receiver opening. That way, you can order the right size hardware the first time.

2.5 Hitches

A 2.5 receiver hitch is commonly found on ¾-ton and 1-ton pickups. Advantages include:

• Higher weight capacity
• Reduced flex under load
• More stable connection point

If your truck already uses a 2.5-inch receiver, that heavier-duty connection can offer better stability and less flex when you tow larger trailers. The key is matching the hitch to your factory receiver size and staying within your truck’s rated towing and tongue-weight limits. Exceeding your vehicle’s towing capacity can be dangerous and place added strain on the engine.

When 3.0 Matters

3.0 receivers are far less common. They are typically installed on heavier-duty trucks as a custom option if the vehicle will be used to tow heavy trailers. You’ll want to consider a 3.0 hitch if your truck is factory-equipped with a 3.0 receiver. Benefits include maximum strength and the ability to tow at your truck’s rated capacity.

In most scenarios, the 2.0 or 2.5 factory receiver installed on your truck will do the job. You should only upgrade to a 3.0 if absolutely necessary, as there are far fewer accessories available.

Key Towing Accessory Categories

When shopping for a truck tow hitch or accessory for your pickup, you can filter by category.

Receiver Shackles

Shackle receiver hitches feature a closed-loop style setup. You can turn your receiver into a recovery point. Receiver shackles are a must-have if you’ll be going off-road on your truck, or for any situation where you may need to pull or be pulled.

Attaching a recovery strap or winch to other parts of your truck could damage the frame or accessories. Shop receiver shackles when you need a cleaner, more secure recovery point that works with your existing hitch setup. Using a shackle receiver hitch eliminates this risk and provides a secure attachment point. It’s one of the most practical accessories you can add if your truck sees real-world off-road use.

Tow Hooks

A tow hook provides a fast, reliable connection point for straps and chains. Browse tow hooks if you want a simple recovery connection point that is easy to access and built for tough jobs. While many trucks come with factory hooks, upgrading or adding additional hooks can make it easier to tackle tough jobs.

Multi-sided tow hitches typically feature a tow hook and 2–3 different tow ball sizes. These are handy accessories because of their versatility. You gain the benefits of a tow hook while also staying ready to tow.

Sway Control Balls

A sway control hitch setup is one of the smartest upgrades you can make if you tow longer or taller trailers. It helps:

• Reduce trailer sway at speed
• Improve handling in crosswinds
• Increase overall stability

You should definitely pick up a sway control system if you tow a camper or travel trailer. The added control and reduced sway will make your journey much smoother.

Accessories and Winches

Tow winches give you controlled pulling power. Other accessories to consider include an adjustment mount so you can set the ball height based on the trailer height and hitch pins. Locking pins are another popular option, as they reduce the risk of hitch theft.

How to Build the Right Towing Setup

When choosing accessories for your towing setup, the first step is to identify the receiver size. Your entire setup depends on it. Everything else needs to match.

Next, consider if you need a drop hitch with an adjustable height. If you have a larger or lifted pickup, a drop hitch is a must-have. You can adjust the height of the ball to keep the trailer level while towing.

Finally, consider what you’ll be using the hardware for. Do you need a simple ball hitch for towing a trailer? Or will you be performing recovery work? Using the right gear for the job protects your truck and keeps you in control.
