Features:
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: This frame weighs 25 pounds and features thick-walled steel tubing to maximize box stability.
  • Second Hitch Receiver: The Towing Frame features a second 2" hitch receiver that accommodates a towed vehicle or trailer behind the Stowaway2.
  • High-Rise Design: For maximum ground clearance, the Towing frame features a rise that puts the bolting platform 9.5 inches above the bottom of your vehicle’s trailer hitch.
  • Bolting Platform: Features four bolting locations for easy-on/easy-off box attachment. Also features rear side reinforcements to distribute the weight of your gear.


Additional Information:
  • For use on vehicles with a 2" trailer hitch (rated Class III and above).
  • This frame is great for towing lighter vehicles and trailer behind an SUV, RV, van or truck. For more information regarding safe towing practices, please reference the Stowaway2 Towing Guide.
  • Because the Towing Frame has been exclusively designed and tested to best support towed weight (horizontal weight) and not tongue weight (vertical weight), we do not recommend inserting a bike rack into its second receiver.
  • A Hitch Coupling Tightener is included with every Towing frame to reduce side-to-side wobble when the carrier is in use. We recommend adding a second Hitch-Coupling Tightener to reduce wobble between the frame and your tow bar.
  • A hitch pin is included with this frame which will secure the frame into your vehicle’s hitch. We highly recommend upgrading to a Locking Hitch Pin, which will key-lock your frame to your vehicle’s hitch for maximum security. We also recommend adding a second Locking Hitch Pin to key-lock your towed vehicle’s tow bar into the Towing Frame’s hitch receiver.
