An assembly for attaching a trailer hitch to a vehicle includes a cross beam to which cast parts are attached using fasteners to eliminate welded joints and their associated expense and failure modes. The components mounted on the cross beam include attachment fittings positioned at the ends of the cross beam and a hitch receiver mounted between the cross beam ends. The hitch receiver has a girth through which the cross beam extends.
