A tow receiver is a square, tube-like component attached to the frame of a vehicle, designed to accommodate various towing accessories, such as ball mounts or cargo carriers. A tow hitch, on the other hand, refers to the entire assembly used for towing, which includes the receiver as well as any additional components like the ball mount, hitch ball, and safety chains. Essentially, the receiver is a part of the hitch system, which is used to connect the towing vehicle to the trailer.
