At Trailer Hitch Universe, we deal with lots of trailer hitch accessories. In fact, most of my day is spent with trailer hitch accessories - whether Im placing orders, answering questions, or looking for new products to carry. As such, I see a lot of ideas, some good, many bad. I thought it was time to share my knowledge with all of you, so here it is: 8 trailer hitch accessories you’ve never heard of.
8. Hammaka hitch mounted hammock chairs - bringing hammock comfort to highway speeds
From the Hammaka website:
“Climb In…Hang Out. That’s the idea behind Hammaka Hammock Chairs and Hammocks. Each of our products is carefully designed for uncommon comfort, ease and relaxation, with a serious focus on quality.”
A serious focus on quality is a must. Cruising in a hammock behind your truck is a great way to pick up chicks, but one loose screw and the dream is over. Ride responsibly.

7. Mechanical/lighted fish hitch cover
At Trailer Hitch Universe, we’re suckers for a good hitch cover, and this one is a real beaut.
Bonus points for terrible country sing-along.
6. Cruzin Cooler
The Cruzin Cooler is the epitome of all that is good in the world. Yes, yes, I realize that technically this is not a trailer hitch accessory, but it does apparently
have a trailer hitch, so I thought I could squeeze it in. Speaking of squeezing it in, its recommended rider weight is under 260lbs, but it has been tested to up to 540! Go ahead, drive it to the burger joint. With a range of up to 30 miles, you can make it there and back with shakes still frozen or fries still hot.
5. The Towtector Towing Guard
Working under the clever guise of preventing gravel, mud, and grime from reaching your trailer or boat, the towtector finally allows men to add the vehicular equivalent of a grass skirt to their trucks.
4. Bull Balls
What can you do if your huge truck/SUV/motorized cooler just isnt manly enough? Are people questioning your manliness in spite of these things? Erase all doubt with bull balls.
3. The Freedom Grill
I don’t really have that much to say about this one, because, quite frankly, its awesome. Having a grill handy on camping trips or tailgating is ideal, and to have it stowed safely out of the way outside of your car, ready to go is fantastic.
2. Hitch Crane
Having a small crane attached to the back of your truck is a great idea - it’s convenient and practical, and just a plain old great idea. However, using said crane to tow a dead deer strung by his legs for any length on public roads is an interesting choice - Is the truck bed so full that you can’t put the deer in there? Are you showing off? Scaring children? Whatever the case, its almost as good as…
1. The Bumper Dumper
Yep, the bumper dumper. Again, in theory, this is a great idea. Convenient, practical, and easy to use. However, the very idea of having someone using the bathroom on the trailer hitch of my SUV makes me giggle, and the idea of it happening while driving makes me want to hire some teenagers to make me a youtube quality video.
Accessorize responsibly.
