A Subaru stuck in snow or mud usually needs a rear pull, and the tow ball is not a safe place to attach a strap. The Ironman 4x4 Recovery Hitch slides into a standard 2-inch receiver and gives a dedicated recovery point with a 27,500 lb (12,500 kg) working load limit. Its rounded eye takes a soft shackle, and the hitch comes with a neoprene storage bag so it can ride in the cargo area until it is needed. At about 1.4 kg it is easy to carry with a recovery kit on winter trips through the Rockies. Use it with a rated strap and stay within the capacity of the receiver itself. Ships Canada-wide from Flat 4 Offroad in Calgary.
