Designed To Turn Heads.
Hitch Hikers was created to bring movement, lighting, and personality to one of the most overlooked areas of a truck, the hitch.
Â
The flagship eagle concept combines
-
animated wing movement,
-
integrated LED signaling,
-
custom surface finishes,
-
and bold Americana-inspired styling.
​
Rather than functioning like a traditional hitch cover, Hitch Hikers is being developed as a dynamic visual accessory designed to stand out both day and night.
01. Wing Structure
Engineered to support animated movement and integrated lighting.
02. LED Lighting Channels
Integrated lighting paths designed for multi-color signaling effects.
03. Eagle Body Housing
Structural enclosure designed to support electronics and internal components
04. Hitch Mount Integration
Designed around truck hitch mounting applications.
05. Surface Finish Area
Custom finish zone for paint, wraps, or specialty patriotic graphics.
Built Around Motion, Lighting, And Presence.
Interactive Product Breakdown
