Perfect Fit for My Smart

Installed the Little Big Supply hitch on my Smart Fortwo last weekend and it fit absolutely perfectly. The hardware lined up with no modifications and the instructions were easy to follow. It feels extremely sturdy and opens up a lot of options for racks and accessories.

Big thanks from all of us here! Enjoy the Trailer Hitch.

Surprisingly Strong

I honestly didn't expect such a robust hitch for a small car. The welds are clean, the metal is thick, and once installed it feels like part of the frame.

So glad you're loving the new Trailer Hitch! Be sure to tag us on Instagram @littlebigsupply. Keep it up!

Makes the Smart More Useful

Before installing this hitch my Smart Fortwo was pretty limited for hauling anything. Now I can run a bike rack or small carrier which makes the car way more practical.

Thank you! We're stoked that you like the Trailer Hitch. - Jeff Have a great day!

Easy Saturday Install

Took about an hour in my driveway with basic tools. Once mounted it looks factory and doesn't hang too low. Really happy with the quality.

Clean Look

One thing I appreciate is how discreet it looks. The receiver sits nicely under the rear bumper and doesn't make the car look awkward.
