Can the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Be Mounted to a Hitch Receiver

Question

Question:

I am assuming the 4000 with snatch block will pull a full size truck if not terribly stuck? Is there a receiver hitch adapter available? Thanks!

I do have an option for you but there isn't any receiver mount options for the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable part # SW1140232 since it's designed to be portable and it's a little underrated for full-size trucks. Instead, I recommend the Superwinch S5500 Trailer Winch part # SW1455201 which can be receiver mounted using a winch plate like the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate part # C31010 and it has a higher capacity.

Please note, you'll still need to use the Superwinch Snatch Block part # SW34YR for heavier loads.
