🔧

Installation-First Business

We don’t bolt on hitches as a side service. Trailer hitch installation is our core expertise—every technician does this work daily in a climate-controlled bay with professional equipment.

Correct Fitment, Every Vehicle

Hitch fitment varies by year, make, model, and trim. We verify every detail and spec the right receiver size and class before any wrench turns. A wrong fit isn’t just inconvenient—it’s unsafe.

Professional Wiring

Modern vehicles—especially the newer models common in Folsom—use CAN-bus and multiplex wiring. We use vehicle-specific harnesses that integrate without triggering fault codes. No splicing, no shortcuts.

📅

Same-Day Available

Most standard hitch installations take 45–90 minutes. Call ahead and we can often get you in the same day—or schedule a time that works for your week.

💰

Competitive Pricing

Our prices match many online sellers—and include professional installation. No guessing with YouTube tutorials, no return shipping, no stripped bolts in your driveway.

Which Hitch Type Is Right for You?

Three categories, each with a different balance of visibility, capability, and price. We help Folsom customers choose based on their vehicle and how they’ll actually use the hitch.

Good: Standard Exposed

Exposed Hitch & Body

Both the receiver tube and main hitch body are visible below the vehicle. The most common and affordable option for trucks, work vehicles, and heavy towing.

Modern Wiring Requires Expertise

Common Questions from Folsom Customers

We’re at 2021 Arden Way in Sacramento—about 25 minutes from downtown Folsom via Highway 50. It’s a straight shot with easy freeway access. Many Folsom customers combine the trip with other Sacramento errands.

Our Folsom customers say yes. Big-box stores often use general staff for installs. We specialize in hitches—it’s all we do, and we’ve been doing it for 30+ years. The short drive pays for itself in fitment quality and peace of mind.

Yes. We install EcoHitch and Stealth removable hitches on Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and a growing range of EVs and hybrids. These vehicles require sensor-aware installation and specific wiring solutions—exactly what we specialize in. Very popular with Folsom Tesla owners.

For 1–2 regular bikes, either a 1¼” or 2″ receiver works. For 3–4 bikes or e-bikes, we strongly recommend a 2″ receiver due to higher tongue weight ratings and a wider selection of compatible racks. Tell us what you’re planning to carry and we’ll spec it correctly.

Yes—and we recommend it. Adding wiring during the initial hitch install avoids duplicate labor and is significantly cheaper than adding it later. We handle 4-pin, 7-pin, and brake controller installations using vehicle-specific harnesses.

Standard exposed hitches run $400–$600 installed. Concealed body hitches are $400–$700 installed. Stealth hidden systems run $800–$1,200 installed. Wiring adds $100–$300 depending on the type. Call 916-563-7333 for a quote on your exact vehicle.

Standard hitch installations take 45–90 minutes. Stealth hidden systems require a full day. You’re welcome to wait at our shop or explore nearby Sacramento while we work.

Yes. We’re an authorized Stealth Hitches dealer and installer. These premium hidden hitch systems are extremely popular with Folsom customers who drive luxury vehicles and want zero visual impact. We order to your exact vehicle spec.

Most SUVs can tow—the key is matching the right hitch class and wiring to your vehicle’s factory tow rating. We check your owner’s manual specs and install accordingly. Common Folsom SUVs like the 4Runner, Highlander, and Grand Cherokee all have solid towing capability.

Call ahead recommended: 916-563-7333. Most days we can do same-day installs, but summer gets busy. An appointment guarantees your time slot and ensures we have the right hitch in stock for your vehicle.
