Mag Hitch Pro vs BuiltRight Industries: Which Magnetic Hitch Holder Wins?

May 18
2 min read

The magnetic hitch holder category is growing, and that's a good thing — it means more truck owners are ditching the loose-in-the-bed method. Two names that come up regularly are the Mag Hitch Pro and BuiltRight Industries. Here's how they compare.

Who Makes Each Product

The Mag Hitch Pro is designed and built by hand at Print Tweak Build Industries in Owego, NY. Every unit is printed, assembled, and shipped directly by the person who created it. It's a small-batch, patent-pending product built by a truck owner who solved his own problem.

BuiltRight Industries is a larger truck accessories brand that has entered the magnetic hitch holder space with a steel version. They have broader retail distribution and a wider product catalog.

Material: PETG vs Steel

The Mag Hitch Pro body is made from PETG — a tough, impact-resistant polymer that's slightly flexible. PETG doesn't scratch your hitch finish, won't rust, and absorbs vibration rather than transferring it. BuiltRight's version uses stamped steel, which is heavier, harder on your hitch's finish over time, and will eventually corrode if the coating wears or chips.

Magnet System

Mag Hitch Pro uses rubber-coated neodymium magnets in a circular array. The rubber coating is a deliberate design decision — it prevents metal-on-metal contact with your bed surface, protects your bedliner, and adds friction to the hold. Three magnets deliver 360 lbs of combined pull force on the standard version. The HD version steps up to four magnets for 2.5-inch hitches.

Hitch Size Coverage

Mag Hitch Pro covers both common receiver sizes: the standard Pro for 2-inch receivers ($99) and the HD for 2.5-inch receivers ($149). Make sure you're comparing the right version for your specific hitch setup.

Price and Where You Buy

The Mag Hitch Pro ships direct from the maker at $99 for the 2-inch version and $149 for the HD. No retail markup, no distribution cut. You're buying from the person who designed it. BuiltRight products are available through retail channels, which typically adds margin to the final price.

The Bottom Line

If you want a rubber-coated, non-scratching, USA-made magnetic hitch holder built by the person who designed it and shipped directly to your door — the Mag Hitch Pro is the move. Order at maghitchpro.com.
