This product converts your 1 1/4 inch receiver hitch up to a 2 inch receiver hitch for certain applications such as cargo carriers or bike racks. Well show you how it gets installed on the hitch, its pretty simple. It just plugs in like so, install your pin and clip and youre good to go. A couple of things you want to take note of, the adapter itself is rated at 350 pounds of tongue weight. However, when its plugged into your hitch you want to limit your hitch to about 175 pounds tongue weight. Basically it cuts it in half. So if you have 350 pounds of tongue weight originally, with this adapter its going to cut it in half to about 175 pounds of tongue weight to deal with. Typical applications of this are bike racks, two inch cargo carriers will work on this, however you want to be careful how much weight you put on there. That pretty much covers it for part number HTAD, the 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter bar.

Product was of excelent quality and exactly as described. The good dimensional infomation on eTrailer was most helpful in determining whether this product would work for me. Because of the excellent engineering info on eTrailer, I was able to determine the loading that I will able to carry and I learned a lot about the different class hitches and their ratings which was most helpful. Product arrived very quickly. I am using this product with a bike rack on my 1-1/4" car hitch. Great website and great service. What could be better. I would buy here again. Thanks eTrailer!!29471

Great, strong quality, but I wish it wasn't so long. My deer hauling hitch tray now hangs a foot off/away from the back of my little 2 door hatchback and with only 4"-6" of ground clearance. Really looks like an odd set-up. I should have measured better before ordering; now will have to only shoot small deer to haul.:-)8104

Product was exactly what I needed and to tell the truth, was quite a bit more heavy duty that I had envisioned. I am very enthusiastic and extremely satisfied with the operation of the company and the product.67056

Description was perfect on website. I spent hours running around to Home Depot, Menards, Walmart, Ace and all I could find was a hitch adaptor with a hole 3 and 1/4 when I needed 3 and 3/8. I had no idea that there would be a company that was on the internet that sold specialized adaptors. This was handy because the original bike rack I was trying to attach isn't made anymore. Also, the bike rack manufacturer apparently didn't want to have its 2 inch opening reduced to 1 and a 1/4 because of the weight limits for the rack. Your site explains that the weight for the rack should be adjusted for this change, so all is good.53692

I am very pleased with the Hitch Adapter that I just received from etrailer.com. It is exactly as pictured online and well made. I have already installed it on my car.

I also appreciate the timely manner that it was delivered. 69735

It’s a tight fit on the 1-1/4" side. I had to scrape off some paint, but it works just as advertised. This adapter lets me use my carrier on bike rack on a small car hitch.50336

Arrived quickly. Fit perfectly. Very STURDY piece. The pin and clip were easy to use. This adapter should enable me to use my 2 inch diameter bike rack (which had plenty of life left in it) on the 1 1/4 inch Class I hitch that came with our new car. The seller kept me apprised of the progress of my order and delivery details. Exemplary transaction all around.47436

The hole in the hitch adapter was not centered and I had to drill out the hole in the trailer hitch (about 1/16th) to get the pin inserted. It took about an hour to get right. I'm not very happy with your QA department.43456

Seems to be a solid product for our purposes. We already had a 2" receiver type bike carrier, but the wife's car can only handle a 1-1/4" hitch. This adapter saved us a good chunk of money on a new bike carrier. It slid in a little tight on the first go, but nothing a little grease couldn't solve. Highly recommended for this type duty. Oh yeah, etrailer.com had what we needed in stock (hitch for a 2010 Malibu LTZ & this adapter) and shipped immediately. Their tracking software was slick, best I've seen. 35463

WARNING: Does not fit a standard 1-1/4 hitch reciever... at least not without grinding the paint off. It appears the manufacturer cast it to the correct size, then painted it which added just enough so it will not fit. Pulling out the grinder this weekend to resolve the problem. Otherwise seems to be of sturdy construction.23811

Everything was delivered as pictured, service was fast and received in 5 days. This is going to be used for a bike carrier. Bike Carriers are more common in the 2", class IV (4) size that the Class III size of 1:1/4. I would use e-trailer again without question. Thanks for ordering so simple. 18958

Bright for a 1 1/4 hitch on my Fiesta to put my 2 inch bike rack on the car. Solid constructions works as advertised. But.... The adapter does not fit tight in the hitch so the bike rack shakes a bit. I am looking for a locking, anti-rattle solution for it.11048
