Key Features and Benefits of the Armordillo Hitch

Durable Construction and Materials

Constructed from high-strength steel, the Armordillo Class 3 hitch is built to withstand the rigors of regular use and varying road conditions. The robust design ensures that the hitch remains a reliable component of your Hyundai Entourage for years to come. The materials are selected for their ability to resist wear and maintain structural integrity.

Superior Protection: Powder Coat Finish

The Armordillo hitch features a durable powder coat finish, which serves as a protective barrier against rust, chips, and corrosion. Powder coating is a process where a dry powder is applied to the metal and then cured under heat, creating a tough, resilient finish. This protective layer helps maintain the hitch’s appearance and functionality, even when exposed to the elements. This results in a longer lifespan for the hitch, preserving its performance and look.

The Armordillo Class 3 hitch is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation. This means that the hitch can be attached directly to your Hyundai Entourage without the need for drilling or welding, simplifying the installation process and saving time.
