Does a tow hitch block the removal of the catalytic converter?

    I installed a tow hitch a while ago and don’t remember if it blocked access to the catalytic converter or not. Ppl have been stealing the converters so I wasn’t sure if the tow hitch acts as a deterrence or what. I street park. Thanks.

    No doesn’t block anything but the gas tank.

    Best thing to do is change out the catalytic to an aftermarket one. They won’t steal that. If they do, they’re cheap to replace
