So on Saturday at my local dealer's open house, I ordered the hitch kit for my RT. I got a call today from the dealer informing me that the hitch kit was no longer available and there was no superseded number for the hitch kit.

Anyone run into this lately or know if there is a new hitch for the RT available?

Try Amazon or Ebay.

Dealer said when he ordered it Can-Am said it was available. Then sent him a message later that the hitch was no longer available. An Ebay listing I saw last month had one for sale and said that the hitch was being discontinued. I did find another dealer with one in stock and will be purchasing the hitch this week. I am not sure what the deal is with this at this point.

Thanks

Glad I bought mine months ago. I got it from the "for sale" portion on this site and it was a good price in good condition from a very nice spyder owner. Caution, if you buy after market they are made more cheaply and for a reason. Poor construction and material quality prevail in aftermarket products. I can't find it right now however someone posted a picture on this site of an aftermarket hitch that had the welds fail while traveling down the highway. If you can, find a factory BRP hitch and look closely at it to compare it to an aftermarket hitch.

This isn't the one I was thinking of, but it's one that failed.

A couple weeks ago some else posted that the dealers were no longer able to get freedom trailers? Is brp getting out of the trailer business??

If so, then I’ll be taking extra special care of my current brp622 trailer and hitch.
