About HitchSource.com

HitchSource.com is based out of Hood River, OR.  It was founded in 2003 by two friends looking for a way to earn a living and move to a place where they can do the things they enjoy – mountainbiking, windsurfing, snowboarding, and the great outdoors.

HitchSource.com has come a long way in five short years.  As one of the leading trailer hitch retailers online, we attribute our success to our customers.  Without you this would not be possible.  Our customers have provided feedback, photos, and reviews.  We take this feedback to heart and use it to improve our products and services.  We encourage our customers to email or pick up the phone to talk to one of our customer service representatives.

This blog is a way for us to share what we know and help customers identify the products that provide the best user experience.  Our mission is to provide customers with input and guidance so they can get the right products and feel comfortable with installing or using the products once they arrive.

If you have any topics you’d like to see addressed in the blog, please let us know and we’ll add it to our list.
