FULL TRANSPARENCY
Here's exactly how we make money.
No fine print. No weasel words. You deserve to know how this site stays free and whether it affects what we recommend. (It doesn't.)
THE SHORT VERSION
Affiliate links. That's it.
When you click a "Where to Buy" link on our site and purchase a hitch, the retailer pays us a small commission. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same whether you come through us or go direct.
That commission is how StupidHitches stays online and ad-free. We don't charge you. We don't sell your data. We don't run banner ads. Affiliate commissions cover the hosting, the database work, and the hundreds of hours that go into maintaining accurate fitment data.
THE RULES WE FOLLOW
What we promise
We show ALL compatible hitches
If a hitch fits your truck, it shows up in your results. Period. We don't hide products because they don't have an affiliate program. We don't boost products because they do.
Commissions never affect rankings
Product order is based on weight capacity and our scoring system — not who pays us more. Our expert picks come from real-world experience across hitch retail, RV parts, and the service bay.
Expert picks are based on experience
When we flag a hitch as an expert pick, it's because we've seen it perform. We've sold these products, installed them, and watched them come back (or not) after years on the road. That's what drives the recommendation.
No hidden incentives
We don't accept payment for product placement. We don't run sponsored content. We don't get free hitches in exchange for reviews. If that ever changes, we'll tell you here first.
YOUR DATA
What we collect (almost nothing)
We use basic analytics (Google Analytics) to understand which pages are useful and which aren't. That helps us improve the tool. We don't track you across the web, and we don't build advertising profiles.
If you subscribe to our email list, we store your email address. That's it. We use it to send you towing tips and updates — not to sell to third parties. You can unsubscribe anytime with one click.
We don't ask for your name, phone number, or home address. We don't use cookies for ad targeting. We don't sell or share any data with anyone, ever.
