DV8 Offroad Trailer Hitch
DV8 Offroad AHJP-01 Rear Hitch Receiver with LED Cube Lights for Jeep Wrangler JK/JL
DV8 Offroad Trailer Hitches: Built for the Trail, Ready to Tow
When most people think of a trailer hitch, they picture a utilitarian chunk of steel bolted to the rear of a grocery-getter. DV8 Offroad has a different idea entirely. The brand's trailer hitches are engineered from the ground up to serve the off-road enthusiast — purpose-built for Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, and truck platforms where towing capability needs to coexist with serious trail performance.
DV8 Offroad designs and engineers its products at facilities in Riverside, CA and Chandler, AZ. Every part is CAD designed, laser cut, CNC machined, and trail-tested before it reaches customers — a manufacturing philosophy that sets DV8 apart from generic hitch brands. The result is a hitch that doesn't just bolt on and hang there; it becomes an integrated part of a well-built rig.
The AHJP-02: A Bolt-On Hitch for Jeep Wrangler JK & JL
One of DV8's most recognized hitch offerings is the AHJP-02 Bolt-On Hitch, designed specifically for 2007–2021 Jeep Wrangler JK and JL models. It installs using the factory location and ships with all necessary hardware, including an optional flat 4-pin wiring mount for trailer lighting. Critically, it is designed to work with OEM bumpers as well as all DV8 non-hitch-equipped rear bumpers — making it an ideal upgrade whether you're running stock rear bodywork or a custom aftermarket bumper. The 2-inch receiver provides a solid mount for bike racks, cargo carriers, recovery gear, or light trailers.
MTO Series Accessory Hitch (RBGL-12H): Seamless Integration
For builders running DV8's MTO Series Rear Bumper (RBGL-12), the brand offers the RBGL-12H accessory hitch — a purpose-matched add-on that tucks neatly behind the bumper's flip-up license plate mount. The hitch is effectively hidden within the bumper profile until you need it, preserving clean lines on the trail. It bolts directly to the frame and carries a micro-texture black powder coat finish for durability and appearance. Compatible applications include bike racks, cargo trays, and similar accessories.
The Xtract Hitch Skid: Recovery Meets Protection
DV8 also brings a uniquely off-road perspective to hitch accessories with the Xtract Hitch Skid Plate. Machined from premium 6061-T6 billet aluminum in a single-piece design, this dual-purpose solution mounts to any standard 2-inch hitch receiver and transforms it into a trail protection and recovery point simultaneously. A replaceable Delrin skid pad reduces friction against rocks, while 1-inch-thick mounts accept ¾-inch D-rings rated to a 13,000 lb working load limit. It's offered in raw, black, or red finishes to suit different build aesthetics.
Why DV8 Trailer Hitches Stand Out
- Trail-tested fitment — DV8 validates its products on actual trails, not just in a lab
- Ecosystem compatibility — hitches are designed to integrate with DV8's broader bumper and accessory lineup
- Finish quality — micro-texture black powder coat and billet aluminum options for lasting durability
- Bolt-on installation — hardware included, no cutting or drilling required on most applications
- Multi-use design — suitable for towing accessories, recovery points, cargo carriers, and bike racks
Whether you're looking to add towing capability to a daily-driven Wrangler or want a hidden hitch solution integrated into a full DV8 bumper build, the brand's hitch lineup reflects the same attention to form and function that defines everything they make.
