• Using a Hitch Extender with a Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Ski Carrier Adapter
  
• The adapter you are inquiring about attaches to the bike rack not the ski adapter. The ski adapter, part # TH987XT, attaches to Thule bike racks. If you have a Thule bike rack, it will work with adapter # HE18. However, you do need to keep in mind your limitations when using the adapter. Using a hitch adapter will reduce your trailer hitch tongue capacity by 50. So if your trailer hitch is rated for 350 pounds of vertical load, you will only be able to load 175 pounds on the hitch. You will need

• Trailer Hitch and Extension Recommendation for a 1999 Ford F-350 with Slide-In Camper Towing Trailer
  
• Normally, the use of an extension will reduce the tongue weight capacity of a trailer hitch by 50 percent. But, your 1999 Ford F-350 can be equipped with a Titan hitch like # 45297. This is a class V trailer hitch with a 2-1/2 inch receiver. When used with Titan Hitch Box Extension, # RP45292, you will not see a significant drop in tongue weight capacity. This extension only fits the Titan hitches and offers 24 to 34 inches more extension. I did a little research and found that the floor of a

• Recommend 1-1/4 Hitch Extender For Thule T2 # TH917XTR To Clear Rear Bumper When Folded Up
  
• For a 1-1/4 inch hitch extender, we have the Brophy Hitch Extender, part # HES6. This will extend the receiver by 6 inches. However, when using a hitch extender you will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch in half. So if you have a Class I hitch which has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, you would be limited to carrying 100 lbs. This includes the weight of the Thule T2 # TH917XTR, which is about 50 pounds, plus the weight of your bicycles. You will want to check the label o

• Trailer Hitch Mount 4 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Hummer H2
  
• I do not recommend the use of the trailer hitch extender # he18 for use with a bike rack. Using a hitch extension reduces the the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. With a bike rack like the Yakima SwingDaddy, # Y02422, and the rack loaded to its 120 pound capacity, the combined weight of the racks and bikes would be enough to exceed or come dangerous close to the maximum reduced tongue weight capacity. The solution I have for you is to use a different type of bike rack. First

• Will the 18 Inch Hitch Extender Part # HE18 Clear the Tailgate of a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Series
  
• The hitch extender you referenced, part # HE18 will extend your receiver by 18 inches when measured from the center of the hitch pin hole in the receiver to the pin hole in the extender. When the 18 inch length of the extender is added to the length of the ball mount, you will probably find that you have enough distance to clear your tailgate unless the tongue of the pop-up is really short. The downside of using an extender is the fact that placing the tongue weight load of the camper 18 inch

• Raised Receiver Needed to Raise a Thule Bike Rack To Safely Carry Bikes
  
• Yes, we do have a solution for your Thule hitch mounted bike rack. We have 3 different parts you could use to raise your bike rack to safely carry your bikes. The Curt Dual 2 Inch Receiver, item # D-192, or the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers, # D210, would both be good choices, depending on the style you like. We also have the Valley Multi-Purpose Ball # V75090, that is very similar to the multi-purpose ball mount mentioned earlier. I linked a

• Is the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Extender # he18 Solid or Hollow
  
• The Hitch Extender, # he18, is hollow at both ends so that would be tubular steel. The use of a hitch extender will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. If the hitch started with a 350 pounds tongue weight capacity, by using this extension that amount will be reduced to 175 pounds.
