Why the Builtright Hitch Mount Stands Out in the World of Towing and Off-Roading

When you're living the off-road life or towing heavy gear on the regular, the little things matter—a lot. One of those often overlooked heroes? (pun intended, your shins might know...). Your trailer hitch. If you've spent any time on a trail or driving across across the country (or just to Target), you know the options for hitch storage are A: in the receiver, ready to make you or someone walkingby recite every curse word at the top of your lungs if you have a bad encounter with it or B: bouncing around loose in your bed or cab. No matter the distance, those things can be downright destructive! That’s where the BuiltRight Hitch Holder comes into play.

Let’s take a closer look at how BuiltRight stacks up against the competition and why it might just be your next favorite piece of gear.

Built Right, Built Tough: What Sets BuiltRight Apart

Heavy-Duty Construction You Can Trust

Off-roaders, tradesman, and the casual trip taker alike demand reliable, durable gear—not something that willhave cracking welds and rattle loose on a washboard trail or bouncing over potholes. The BuiltRight Hitch Mount is crafted from high-strength 10ga. steel with a zinc coating under premium powder-coated finish, meaning it’s ready for anything from trail riding to cross-country hauling. 2"and 2.5" versions available at release, with a 3" coming soon!

Compare that to some of the generic mounts on the market—thin gauge steel, poor welds, and finishes that flake at the first sign of contact. Not what you want out of something that has to hold your trailer hitch.

Designed with Function First

This isn't just a chunk of steel—it’s smartly engineered. With a slotted section you can slide your pin through to hold your hitch in place. Or, if you have a longer hitch, you can put the pin in the bottom! No need to be worried about rattles, the hitch holder has a built in tension knob to eliminate any potential for a loose fit, something that others dont. The BuiltRight mount offers a universal mounting footprint that also pairs perfectly with our Bedside MOLLE panels, making it ideal for keeping your setup clean and secure.

Comparing Builtright to Other Hitch Mounts

BuiltRight vs. Amazon Specials

Sure, you can grab a hitch storage bracket off Amazon for 30 bucks. But do you really want to gamble on unknown metallurgy and questionable reviews when your gear (or your rig) is on the line?

This is one of those “buy once, cry once” situations. BuiltRight gear is proudly made in the USA with actual testing and quality control behind it—not just a sticker slapped on a random import.

Durability: Builtright’s mount is designed with strength in mind. Crafted from 10ga. steel, this is built to take abuse. Others? Not so much.
Feature Focus: While Others in the market simply provide a slot for your hitch, Builtright offers some innovative features like a tension knob.
Finish Quality: Builtright’s heavy duty powder coating holds up better against corrosion and abuse.

Perfect for Everyone!

Whether you’re setting up your truck for serious overland adventures or just need a hitch mount to keep your gear accessable occasionally, the BuiltRight Hitch Holder is a perfect solution. It’s strong, smart, and designed to integrate seamlessly with your other gear.

Plus, it comes backed by the legendary BuiltRight lifetime warranty—because when you make something this tough, standing behind it is easy.

Final Thoughts: Is the BuiltRight Hitch Mount Worth It?

In a word? Absolutely. If you care about functionality, reliability, and gear that keeps up with your lifestyle, the BuiltRight Hitch Mount deserves a spot on your build list. It’s not the cheapest option—but thats the point. We know there are cheaper options, but if you're searching for the best solution on the market, made in the USA with an unbeatable warranty, then the slight ( and I mean slight, like $10-$20) premium is totally worth it.
