Polaris RZR Hitch Receivers And Hitch Reviews

I’m sure at some point while off-roading you have seen a UTV towing something behind it, right? And in that moment, I am almost willing to bet you thought to yourself: “Huh, I wish my Polaris RZR could tow something too”.

Well, today is your lucky day!

Because as it turns out, your RZR really can tow a load behind it. Just not usually as it comes straight from the dealership. So let’s dive in to exactly what you need to know about Polaris RZR hitch receivers and hitches!

What is a Polaris RZR Hitch Receiver?

Simply put, a hitch receiver is an accessory that bolts onto the frame of your UTV and allows you to attach further accessories.

Without a hitch receiver, there would be no way to attach the accessories needed to. Our top pick is the bolt-on Polaris RZR XP 1000 Rear Receiver Hitch by SuperATV. Super ATV knocked it out of the park with this simple, rugged receiver. Powder-coated and built to weather the elements, as well as look great while doing so.

What more could you ask for, right?

Another favorite of ours is the Polaris RZR Black Heavy-Duty Rear Receiver Hitch by DragonFire Racing. This model is also powder-coated, which is more important than some might think. Especially for areas with regular rain, it’ll stave off rust for far longer than a raw finish would. And just like the Super ATV model, this too is a bolt-on model, which is just as important to us.

Why?

Because the bolt-on method is strong, gets the job done and is a mod accessible to any home mechanic. Unlike some weld-on methods you might find online, a bolt-on model requires only a wrench and a few minutes of your time before you’re ready to attach accessories to it.

Polaris RZR Hitch Accessories

Speaking of Polaris RZR hitch accessories, you’re likely wondering what else you’ll need to start trailering with your UTV.

Aside from the hitch receiver, to start trailering you’ll also need to take a look at Polaris RZR Hitches. In most cases, something simple like the Polaris RZR Trio HD 2” Hitch with Ball Mount by ATV TEK will cover your bases. With a ball mount already included, and steel loop for towing or winching your RZR will be ready to go with a simple installation.

Hitches like these also have a useful secondary function of raising the towing hitch heigh around three inches or so. This ensures you’re able to keep your trailer at the proper height while towing, even if your hitch receiver is installed rather low to the ground.

When extra adjustment is needed for multiple trailers or accessories, though, we’ve got a better option for you.

The Polaris RZR Elite Series Adjustable Hitch by ATV TEK is a favorite of ours for many reasons. The build quality being stellar is just one of them. But it is the adjustability of this hitch that really got our attention. With the ability to raise or lower the height of the hitch by simply pulling pins, you can very quickly adjust your Polaris RZR hitch height to match whatever trailer you happen to be working with that day.

Convenient, isn’t it?

What Else Can I do With a Polaris RZR Hitch?

Now, aside from the obvious use case of towing a trailer, hitches and hitch receivers can be useful for myriad other options.

One of the most popular uses you’ll see is a Polaris RZR hitch receiver spare tire mount. These get rid of the annoying process of figuring out where to store your spare tire for the trails by mounting directly to the hitch receiver itself. Models such as the Polaris RZR Universal Heavy Duty Receiver Hitch Spare Tire Mount Long by Hornet Outdoors are a cinch to install, and add immediate convenience to the receiver you installed already.

Another super convenient hitch receiver accessory is the Polaris RZR OffRoad Hitch-N-Ride Hauler by Great Day. Receiver cargo baskets like this effectively increase your available storage capacity. Making room for extra gear never looked so good, or installed so easy!

At this point, you should have all the info you need to get a Polaris RZR hitch receiver and hitch installed and ready to go in moments.
