Protection and Recovery in One Sleek Package
If you’ve spent any time on rocky trails or steep drop-offs, you know how easily a hitch can get caught or scraped. The DV8 Off-Road Xtract Hitch Skid Plate offers a smart, dual-purpose solution for this issue. It mounts directly into any standard 2-inch hitch receiver using a standard 5/8-inch hitch pin, turning that vulnerable rear hitch into a heavy-duty shield with a functional recovery point. At the heart of it is a thick billet aluminum body that’s built to take hits while keeping your rig protected. It features a Delrin skid pad that’s designed to absorb impact and slide smoothly over rocks instead of catching or grinding, minimizing damage and keeping your exit points clean. For added utility, it also comes with 1-inch thick recovery mounts that accept standard 3/4-inch D-rings and are rated up to a 13,000-pound working load. Whether you’re crawling up a boulder field or backing down a loose trail, it’s the kind of gear that lets you focus on the trail, not your hitch clearance.
Built Tough with a Clean Black Finish
The Xtract Hitch Skid isn’t just functional, it’s engineered for the long haul. Machined from a single block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum, it offers a rock-solid construction that’s strong without being overly bulky. The black finish adds a clean, aggressive look that blends well with most bumpers and rear-end setups, and it also helps resist corrosion and wear from road grime and trail abuse. Installation is simple; just slide it into your hitch receiver, secure it with a pin, and you’re done. No special tools, no drilling, just added confidence when you’re off-road. The Delrin skid plate is replaceable if it wears down over time, and if you’re looking for a more aggressive upgrade, an aluminum skid pad is available too. For anyone who takes their truck or SUV off the pavement, this is a solid investment in both protection and practicality.
Application Notes:
- Designed to mount to a 2″ hitch receiver with a 5/8″ pin.
- 5/8″ pin required (not included). Soft shackle recommended, but standard metal shackle will work.
