Where to keep the hitch.

[Gator42]

Looks like I'll be alright with my ball hitch.

Dude, that thang’s nasty…?

BTW, if you don’t like your hitch banging around in storage, you can always buy some foam blocks like these and cut them to shape.

Ha ha...about 14k lbs. nasty.

Wrap in dirty towel with cord/adapter, put under seat....done. Next?

In my garage because I haven't envisioned a scenario where I suddenly need a tow hitch out of the blue.

What am I missing? Why would one carry it in the truck?

I don't have it all the time, but if I think I need it, it goes in the bottom of the frunk with the recovery equipment in a bag.

I used to keep my tire deflators in that bag too, but they fit perfectly in the Rivian air compressor bag in the gear tunnel door.

That looks like a good bag. Any chance you’d be willing to share some pix of how it fits in sub-frunk and under seat bench?

I have a “Will it Fit?” thread: (I am interested in the bag and not just spamming my thread)

I keep one of these in the sub-frunk with a hitch ball, elastic recovery rope, ratchet straps/tiedowns and some other tools: Tamarin Trunk | STEP 22 Gear Adventure Travel Gear Bag. Also fits great under the rear seat if I need to shuffle things around.

I also have Rivian's recovery kit for when I'm planning to go offroad, which I stash in the gear tunnel.

I carried mine when I had a SUV. If I bought something big, I headed directly to uhaul to rent a trailer instead of back home first.

Then I bought a trailer…and left the hitch home with the trailer.

Then I bought a truck and Ive never needed it with the vehicle since.

I leave mine with the trailer unless I was just towing something and it’s still on the truck because I was too lazy to take it off.
