The receiver and the extension, designed to work together for towing behind a truck camper.
SuperHitch and SuperTruss are two names that come up in every serious truck camper towing conversation. They are Torklift products, they are designed to work together, and they solve a specific problem: towing a trailer behind a truck camper when the camper's overhang requires an extension that is rated for the forces involved.
This article explains what each product does, how they work together, and what truck camper owners should verify before buying.
What Is SuperHitch?
SuperHitch is Torklift's heavy-duty receiver hitch system designed for truck camper towing applications. It provides a patented dual-receiver that is engineered for the forces created by extension towing, not just direct towing from the bumper. SuperHitch is available in multiple configurations (including SuperHitch Magnum and SuperHitch Original, where fitment supports them) to match different truck platforms and towing requirements.
What Is SuperTruss?
SuperTruss is Torklift's hitch extension (highest weight ratings in the industry) for towing behind a truck camper. It uses a truss-style design rather than a simple tube, which helps manage the bending and torsional forces that increase with extension length. SuperTruss has published ratings by length, giving truck camper owners a clear, verified capacity at the extension distance they actually need.
How They Work Together
| Product | What It Does | Why Truck Camper Owners Use It | What to Verify |
| SuperHitch | Heavy-duty dual receiver system. Mounts to the truck frame. | Provides the rated receiver foundation for extension towing. | Truck-specific fitment. Receiver weight rating. |
| SuperTruss | Highest-rated hitch extension. Connects to the SuperHitch receiver. | Provides rated reach behind the camper overhang. | Required extension length. Rated capacity at that length. |
| Together | Highest rated hitch and extension system in the industry. | Allows towing behind camper overhang within published ratings. | All component ratings. Truck capacity. Trailer weight and tongue weight. |
Do I Need Both SuperHitch and SuperTruss?
SuperTruss is designed to work with SuperHitch. The receiver and the extension are engineered as a system. If your truck already has a SuperHitch installed, adding SuperTruss completes the extension setup. If you do not have SuperHitch, both products are part of the recommended system. Use Torklift’s Fit Finder to confirm your fit.
How to Choose the Right SuperTruss Length
Measure the camper overhang from the receiver to the point the trailer coupler needs to connect, plus clearance. Then check the SuperTruss rating chart at that length. The chart shows the rated gross trailer weight and tongue weight at each available length. Choose the length that provides the reach you need with the rating that covers your trailer.
