Trailer Hitches — Price Comparison

Trailer Hitches for 2025 Rivian R1T

A receiver hitch turns a 2025 Rivian R1T into a tow vehicle, bike hauler, and cargo-carrier platform. Class III hitches with 2-inch receivers cover most real-world use; the meaningful differences between brands are frame-mount design, corrosion coating, and whether installation requires drilling.

We compared 3 offers across major retailers for the 1st Gen platform (2022–2026 1st Gen). Prices range from $189.99 to $249.99 as of the last update.

Best picks

• Best overall: A Class III hitch with a bolt-on, no-drill installation for your exact frame — factory-style mounting points make a 90-minute driveway job.
• Best budget: The value-brand equivalent with the same tow rating — hitches are commodity steel; coating quality and fit documentation are what you give up.

What to look for

• The hitch rating doesn't override your vehicle's tow rating — the lower number always governs.
• Don't forget the wiring: a 4-pin or 7-pin harness is a separate purchase on most vehicles.
• A-coat or powder-coat finishes survive road salt much better than bare paint.

Electric truck note: payload and accessory-mount points differ from the gas trucks these platforms resemble. Confirm EV-specific fitment — bed dimensions and frame attachment points are not carryover from ICE stablemates.
