2024 Hitch Skids

[TrashPanda]

I have a DRT Fab Hitch Skid and it is a fine piece of craftsmanship but…I’m looking for something more snug to the hitch. It sticks out a little further than I want on my Tacoma. Any suggestions?

Not sure what you have but try something like this from Amazon. Reno 2” hitch slider

Is it possible to chop off the recovery point in order to make it more compact?

Which one? The Reno Slider looks about as compact as you can get. The DRT looks like you could cut the eye off. There's another entry since this thread started.

If you search on Amazon for "hitch skid plate" there are quite a few. There's even one with a roller ?

Most hitch skids are boat anchors that will hang up much sooner, and probably cause more issues than they prevent.

After a quick Google search the best low profile option I could find was the 41.22 recovery point with a small skid built in.

They have a bunch of other colors too. I've never seen one of their products in person so I can't vouch for anything. But they look pretty good.

Yes the DRT one.

I have the 41.22 hitch slider installed on my Taco. Since it doubles as a recovery point it still protrudes from the hitch face about 2.5 inches but then wraps around the bottom of the hitch.

I just got my DRT one but I had them make it without the recovery point.
