RENO Hitch Slider 2" Receiver Aluminum Skid Plate — Black, 45,000 lb Recovery Point, 3/4" D‑Ring Ready

RENO Hitch Slider is an all‑aluminum 2" receiver skid plate with an integrated 1" recovery point, built to protect your hitch and serve as a heavy‑duty tow/shackle anchor up to 45,000 lbs.

Whether you're trail riding, hauling a trailer, or working on uneven terrain, the RENO Hitch Slider adds a low‑profile layer of protection to the underside of your vehicle. Crafted from aircraft‑grade aluminum as a single machined piece, it combines a sloped ramp surface to reduce snags with a reinforced extraction point that accepts 3/4" D‑rings or soft shackles. The unit fits most 2" receivers — measure your receiver opening to ensure compatibility before purchase.

How does the RENO Hitch Slider protect my trailer hitch during off‑road use?

The slider's tapered ramp deflects rocks, stumps, and ledges so the hitch won't catch or scrape. Its one‑piece aluminum construction distributes impacts across the plate instead of the hitch receiver, limiting dents and abrasion.

• Aircraft‑grade aluminum resists deformation while remaining lightweight
• Sloped ramp design reduces hitch hang‑ups on obstacles
• One solid piece with no welds for improved durability

Can I use the integrated recovery point for towing or vehicle recovery?

The RENO Slider includes a large 1" recovery aperture designed to accept 3/4" D‑rings or soft shackles, creating a secure anchor for winchless recoveries or tow straps. Rated up to 45,000 lbs breaking strength when installed correctly, it serves as a robust temporary recovery point.

• 1" integrated opening fits common soft shackles and D‑rings
• 45,000 lb maximum breaking strength for heavy recovery tasks
• Mounts inside standard 2" receivers for quick installation

What materials and construction give it strength without excess weight?

Forged from aircraft‑grade aluminum and milled as a single unit, the slider avoids weak welded joints and keeps weight down compared with steel alternatives. The black finish adds corrosion resistance while maintaining a sleek appearance.

• Solid aluminum fabrication minimizes rust and fatigue-prone seams
• Black protective coating for weather resistance and low glare
• Design balances toughness with lighter weight than steel plates

Will this fit my vehicle and how do I install it?

Designed for most 2" receivers, the RENO Hitch Slider is a universal accessory but verify your receiver size before ordering. Installation is straightforward: slide into the receiver and secure with a hitch pin (not included), then attach your recovery hardware as needed.

• Compatible with most standard 2" trailer receivers
• Requires measuring receiver and using an appropriate hitch pin
• Works with both soft shackles and 3/4" D‑rings for versatility

Who is this for? The RENO Hitch Slider is aimed at off‑road enthusiasts, truck owners who tow often, fleet vehicles used in rough conditions, and anyone who wants to protect the rear undercarriage while retaining a strong, accessible recovery point. It’s a practical upgrade for drivers who encounter uneven terrain, frequently hitch and unhitch loads, or want a durable, low‑profile solution to prevent expensive hitch damage.
