Why this product
The Nighthawk has a trick up its sleeve — integrated LED lighting that illuminates the hookup area. If you have ever fumbled with a flashlight trying to connect a tow bar at dusk, you will appreciate this. At 35 lbs with an 8,000 lb rating, it also happens to be one of the lightest heavy-duty tow bars available.
