Since it misleadingly suggests the hitch is included, when it is not, why doesn't the product description have a reference to the right hitch?!

I was misled too. It also doesn't have the front wheel needed to be a stroller. It does have the handle, and the brakes but these are ud=seless. The only reason I accepted the product was I was getting the main shell replaced by insurance and already had a bile adapter kit as well as a front stroller wheel. My wife was hit by a car not paying attention as she jog strolled throught the neighborhood with my son and the driver hit the charaiot dead on. He applied his brakes enough that he only crushed 1/2 of the chariot. It held up fairly well. This bright orange trailer wtith a bright orange flag was the only thing keeping my wife and son from being totally run down. But I do chastise this merchant for misleading me and it does not have enough parts to be a good stroller and yu need the bike adapter. I was just fortunate that these parts on my chariot were not damaged.

One of the previous answers is incorrect. The bumper does come with a hitch but it is not rated at 2000lbs. I just purchased one and the paperwork that came with it says the hitch is only rated at 50....that's right...50lbs. Go buy a real bumper and not this toy.

Yes the hardware is all included and makes installation very easy but it is helpful to have a car lift to raise the car up. The receiver end where the hitch slides through is not to specs and over-sized though and you'll find that the receiver sits loose in there which leads to noise when you are towing. Good luck!

If you call the shank... The part that goes into the hitch. The answer is no. Everything colored in black is included with this purchase. I had to buy one which was a additional cost.

CORRECTION!!!!! so sorry! i should really have more morning coffee before i attempt to answer anything.the statement about the top of the receivers' "square hole" is WRONG! the top of the long channel/tube on the Hitchmate is- 1-5/8" BELOW the bottom of the receiver opening.

That is correct. Ours came without the towing package and this hitch fit the pre-drilled holes in the chassis perfectly.

No the hitch did not come with that sleeve ! Just the hitch , adjustable 2'' and 2&5 /16 ball assembly and pin for adjustment

No attachement included for a 2" rear hitch. FWIW, there is a note in the instructions that says never tow behind a car or the warranty will be voided.

The bottom of the basket tube is even with the top of the hitch tube. Hopefully that makes sense.

If it is mounted properly, it doesn't have much sway, but there is a proper "right side" left side" to attaching the hitch. If you are getting a lot of sway, you may have to reverse the position.

I'd say that's the wrong description for this item. When I bought it nothing like that was in the description. No hinge, buckle, cam etc. It is just what you see in the picture. No hitch pin, get a locking pin otherwise you won't have it long.

Well, the bumper has a built in class III 2" hitch. However, smittybit told me with the first one I bought, it doesn't have a tow rating. It's built for the purpose of recovery. The tow rating is dependent on the rating of your vehicle, not the bumper.Hope this helps.

This product is not a bike rack, it only provides a hitch option if you have a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule or Yakima.

It says in the description that it can be mounted, but that mounting hardware is not included.
