Trail gear bumper hitch?

Anybody else got a trail gear rear bumper on? I'm trying to put my Anderson adjustable hitch that's for a two inch recieved and it will not fit. I thought these had a two inch channel what's the deal all I wanna pull is a small trailer with a small lawn mower.

And I can't cause my receiver won't fit in this stupid bumper!

It's made for recovery not towing and they make it so it won't take a normal tow hitch on purpose I bet.
A recovery hitch fits just fine.

Yea I noticed my recovery fits fine I'd jus like to use it as a hitch, I guess jus file it out till it fits or file the reciever. R think that's a bad idea?

Just remove the Trail Gear receiver hitch and weld a regular one on instead .

Good to go if you can weld!!

I have one on my 4Runner some hitches fit some don't. I've used mine to tow a jet ski a few times. I think my hitch is a Reese from Wal-Mart if that helps any.

Or if all else fails, blame Trail Gear for everything that is wrong with your rig.
