BulletProof Hitches Medium Duty Road Suppressor Flat Plate to Flat Plate Mount

The BulletProof Hitches Medium Duty Road Suppressor is a flat-plate-to-flat-plate towing coupler that uses patented polyurethane bushings to absorb and dissipate vibration between a tow vehicle and trailer, supporting a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 lb. It is compatible with any trailer that has a front flat plate mount and works with any receiver hitch on the market.

Vibration Absorbed Before It Reaches Your Cargo

The Road Suppressor's patented polyurethane bushings isolate movement at the hitch connection point (the source of most trailer bounce) rather than letting that energy travel through the coupler into the trailer frame. Reducing vibration at the source means fragile cargo, trailer welds, and suspension components on both the tow vehicle and trailer are exposed to less cumulative stress on every trip. The Road Suppressor delivers up to a 90% smoother ride, which also reduces driver fatigue on long hauls.

Overload and Temperature Resilience

The Road Suppressor is designed to handle accidental overload situations without damage to the unit, continuing to suppress vibration even when tongue weight exceeds the optimal range. The polyurethane bushing material is rated to perform in both extreme desert heat and arctic cold, so towing performance does not degrade with temperature swings that would compromise rubber-based alternatives.

Fast Installation, No Ongoing Maintenance

The Road Suppressor mounts between two flat plates in under 60 seconds using the included hardware. Once installed, the polyurethane bushings require no lubrication, adjustment, or inspection intervals. The system is maintenance-free for the life of the product.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The BulletProof Hitches Road Suppressor suits towers who use a flat-plate hitch system and want to reduce trailer bounce, protect cargo from vibration damage, and lower cumulative wear on trailer frames and tow-vehicle suspension. It is compatible with sway control systems and works with any receiver hitch that accepts a flat-plate mount.

The Road Suppressor is not recommended for use with weight distribution systems. It requires a flat plate mount on both the hitch and the trailer coupler side; it is not compatible with ball-mount or pintle-style connections.

Common Questions

Does the Road Suppressor work with my existing hitch, or do I need a BulletProof Hitch?

The BulletProof Hitches Medium Duty Road Suppressor is compatible with any receiver hitch on the market, not only BulletProof-brand hitches. The only requirement is that both the hitch and the trailer have a front flat plate mount interface.

Can I use the Road Suppressor with a weight distribution system?

No. The BulletProof Hitches Road Suppressor is not recommended for use with weight distribution systems. It is, however, compatible with sway control systems.

What hardware is included, and what tools do I need?

The Road Suppressor ships with 8× 5/8"-11×5 bolts, 8× 5/8" lock nuts, and 16× washers. All hardware needed to mount the unit between two flat plates is included. Installation takes under 60 seconds with standard hand tools.

What is the maximum towing capacity, and how does tongue weight factor in?

The BulletProof Hitches Medium Duty Road Suppressor supports a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 lb. Optimal tongue weight is 0–1,000 lb; the maximum tongue weight the unit is rated for is 2,000 lb. Staying within the optimal tongue weight range delivers the best vibration suppression performance.

Does the Road Suppressor require any maintenance after installation?

The BulletProof Hitches Road Suppressor is maintenance-free. The patented polyurethane bushings require no lubrication, re-torquing, or scheduled inspection after the initial installation.
