Note: This adapter is designed to flat tow a vehicle only. Do not use to tow a trailer. When using with a hitch-mounted accessory, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, the tongue weight of your hitch will be reduced by at least 50 percent.
Most tow systems require some sort of hitch accessory to either raise or lower the tow bar to an appropriate level. The "Safe Zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3" above level to 3" below. Car-mounted models must be absolutely level. This high-low adapter can provide you with the necessary drop or desired rise to achieve a level tow bar setup.

Once again, Etrailer had just what I was looking for. This 6 inch lowering hitch allows my electric bike carrier to be lowered by 6 inches so that I do not have to lift so high to load the bikes. The extension also allows me to open the tailgate even with the bikes loaded.

Roger and everyone at etrailer do a wonderful job. Always there to steer you in the right direction. If you go somewhere else your probably making a mistake.
by: Matthew 09/13/2023
Easy to install and works perfectly for our RV. Our Class C sits lower than our Jeep. This adapter puts us in the sweet spot for flat towing. Solid construction and I'm not worried about it at all.
by: Ron Chapman03/25/2023
I originally purchased a cheaper product. When I read the "manual" that came with it it stated "Not for Towing" Well what else would you do with it? This roadmaster product is really well made and like a lot of things in life complain about it the day you pay for it but never complain again. I will feel comfortable towing my Honda CRV and will not look back - pun intended!

These are technically not meant for towing a trailer. This is why it states that. You can definitely use it for your flat tow set up. You can even is it for a bike rack or cargo carrier.
by: Brian05/10/2023
The old saying, you get what you pay for. This is top notch and well made. Definitely would recommend
by: John 05/29/2023
I got this so I can have a few inches lift on clearance when I pull in and out of my basement garage and it works. Now I can put the extension with the 6 inch rise and get in and out of the garage with out bottom out the bike rack and not damaging the driveway and my car or the bike rack. Which I took pictures. But if anyone wants pictures I can share and upload it.

Once again, etrailer came through for us!!! If we need anything related to our RV and tow car, THIS is where we always go. Thank you as usual for great customer service and superb products!!!!

Perfect alignment with the 6"riser after I lifted my Jeep wrangler 3.5" plus 35" Nitto tires.

After 1 year with this product, the ion was perfect fit for 35 tire and a 3.5 lift. The tow bar fit is perfectly aligned between Jeep and 6 hitch riser.

Decided to flat tow my Jeep behind our new motor home. The Jeep has a 3" lift and an after market bumper with D-ring tabs that I will be using to mount the tow bar. To stay withing the tow bar specifications, this adapter is exactly what I needed. I was going to make one but for the price and delivery, it was a no brainer to buy. It's well made and well finished. Another picture in a review had my exact situation and made it easier to make up my mind.
etrailer is one of the best on-line or box store customer service organizations that I have ever dealt with. The documentation, videos, shipping information all outstanding. Thanks
by: Aaron 04/15/2023
Haven't put it into action just yet, but tested it out for my cargo trailer that would often bottom out, and it looks like its going to work fine.
by: Scott 03/24/2023
I knew this product from having a previous 4” drop version. The customer service and lighting fast shipping make ETrailer a trusted source for any parts you may need.
by: David N.05/22/2018
Just purchased.a used Class A motorhome and recognized that the receiver was at such a height that would require a high/low adapter extension to line up better with our tow vehicle. Ordered it on a Thurs night and received it the following Monday. It appears to be of excellent quality and the price and shipping charges were much less than the price at my local RV dealership!
by: Adam06/09/2012
Item feels very heavy and well build. Also consider that will "stick out" of your rear bumper a good 10- 15 inches... see picture!
Car is Chevrolet Tracker- idea was to install rear step on the extension but at the moment I just have a towing shackle...
by: James12/20/2012
Have had good luck with RoadMaster products for many years and I have no doubt that this 6" drop adapter will have a long service life as well. I'm using it to level the tow bar between an F550 4x4 and a Geo Tracker 4x4.

2004 VW New Beetle tow frame mounting is a very difficult job as the front bumper skin is mounted with four hidden torx bolts at the fender and bumper skin joint. The instructions say the frame can be mounted by leaving that seam connected and lifting the bumper skin but it is likely that damage will occur. So remove the skin. Reinstalling requires replacing the torx bolts and threaded plates with large sheet metal screws and clip nuts that can be purchased at a parts store. Also, be sure to check that the pins will insert after the frame is bolted on. I had clearance issues on the drivers side and had to remove the frame to trim the radiator support with great care as the A/C condenser has a tube within the area of trimming. Also, the braces below the frame fit poorly and require shimming and wiring harness and power steering cooler adjustment. It’s best to install brace to car frame bolts with the tow frame off using the provided nuts on wire rods. Leave loose and tighten when installing frame. The job took three days in my home garage with minimal tools. In retrospect I should have found a Jeep to tow but I owned the Beetle. Good luck.

I'm using the RM-076 as a 6" hitch riser to raise a bicycle rack and the front of my truck. Very well built.
by: Danny 04/13/2023
Hitch adapter was delivered within 3 days and is top quality in all respects.
by: Branko05/09/2017
Wish I had this back last summer when I was on vacation. Bought a front hitch for my truck, but it was too low for my four place bike rack. So, long story short, my bike paid the price with two bent rims. Oooops.
Now that I've got this it won't happen again, unless the front axel blows out, or it's a really deep dip in the road - like over a foot.
by: Ken R. 04/27/2018
This hitch works great. The distance was perfect to keep my belongings away from my poorly engineered exhaust pipe. I would make sure I shop here before I go anywhere else for my trailer needs.
by: Bob S04/23/2015
My 6" High-low drop down hitch was just what I was looking for looks very well made, the receiver part was a little tight for my tow bar to slip in easy had to hammer it in. The finish seems to be of high quality and I know it will give me many years of service. The shipping and packaging was very good and arrived one day earlier than expected. Would buy from E-trailer again.

I received the Roadmaster High-Low Adaptor Hitch Mount in 2 days. It is exactly how it was described and pictured in the catalog. It is heavy duty with a 6000 lb tow rating. My tow vehicle is 4400 lbs so I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't used it yet, other than inserting it into the receiver. It will solve the tow bar level issue with the tow vehicle.

- Does Tongue Weight Figure of High Low Adapter Matter When Flat Towing VehicleSince you are flat towing a vehicle you basically don't have any tongue weight at all since the vehicle has two axles spaced far apart unlike a trailer. The high low adapter part # RM-076 would work well for you since you need a 6 inch drop.
view full answer... - High-Low Adapter with 10 Inches of Extension and 6 inches of DropThe Roadmaster adapter # RM-076 does provide an extension of 10-1/4 inches measured from the pin hole on the shank to the pin hole on its receiver. And it does provide a 6 inch drop. But it sounds like you need something that has the back of the receiver out 10 inches. If that is the case this adapter would be too short. A lot also depends on the application. In other words, what is it that you need to be able to do? The adapter above can only be used for flat towing a vehicle behind an...
view full answer... - Solution for Flat Towed Vehicle's Wheels that Don't Turn as the Tow Vehicle TurnsIs the tow bar sitting level? Normally if there's a steering axle issue with the vehicle be flat towed the problem is due to the tow bar not sitting as level as it's needed to be. Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry as well as a help article that details how to pick out the correct one like the Roadmaster # RM-076 which can give you either a 6 inch drop...

- High-Low Hitch Adapters for Use with Tow BarThe two ends of any tow bar should be within 3-inches above or below dead-level. Any more height difference than that can lead to the arms binding, which could affect tracking. We offer many 2-inch high/low hitch adapters, all shown on the linked page, that make it easy to level your tow bar for best performance. Just measure the height difference between the hitch and D-rings and choose the adapter that gets you to a level position by providing the appropriate rise or drop. For instance,...
view full answer... - Using the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter to Carry an Electric Wheelchair on a 2005 GMC EnvoyThe Roadmaster High-Low Adapter, part # RM-076 will be strong enough to carry the 78 pound carrier with the chair loaded, for a total of 188 pounds. Based on my research, the vehicle's factory package is rated for 5,000 to 7,000 pounds of trailer weight depending on the specific variation of the vehicle. This gives you an available 500 to 700 pounds of tongue weight. Using this adapter will reduce that by 50 percent, leaving you with 250 to 350 pounds. You can verify this information...
view full answer... - How to Keep Tow Bar Level for Flat Towing 2002 Mini Cooper with Class A Motor HomeWhen a flat-towed vehicle is different in height from the RV pulling it you can use a high/low hitch adapter like # RM-076 to allow the tow bar to remain level when connected at the RV and toad. Tow bars should never be more than 3-inches under or over level. The linked page displays all of the high/low adapters we offer which range in their drop dimension from 2- to 10-inches of drop. For reference, all base plate fits for your 2002 Cooper are shown on the other link. And a helpful...

You want to tow your trailer as level as possible. I have attached a link to the weight distribution adjustable shanks we offer. I also attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount for your towing setup.

view full answer... - Adapter Recommendation That Gives 6 inches of Drop and Extends Over 8 inchesThe Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-076 that you referenced would be perfectly for what you need. It will give you the 6 inches of drop and will also extend the ball mount out an additional 10-1/4 inches.
view full answer... - Would Roadmaster High Low Adapter RM-067 Work Well on 2021 Ford RangerWe don't have a way to look up the different hitch heights of the two vehicles you mentioned, but I would say a 6 inch high low adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-076 would easily be enough.
view full answer... - Recommended 6 Inch Rise Adapter For 2 Inch Hitch Receiver On 2016 Coachmen Leprechaun 319dsWe don't have exacly what you are looking for, but the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 6" Rise/Drop - 6K GTW, 100 lbs TW # RM-076 may work for you. I went out to our warehouse and measured this product. It has 5-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bottom of the angled brace. This will also give you another 1-1/2 inches of clearance on the rise of the angled portion.

- Solution for Base Plate Tabs on Vehicle That Are 6 Inches Lower than Hitch Receiver on RV When hooking your vehicle up to the RV you want the tow bar to be in what is called the "Safe Zone", which is 3 inches above or below level (see attached image). With base plate tabs that are 6 inches below the hitch on your RV you will just want to add a high-low adapter to get the tow bar back into this zone. Because of the difference in height between RVs and standard passenger vehicles these adapters are needed more often than not. The Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-076 should work...

- Is It Acceptable For A Tow Bar To Be 2" Out Of Level?The 2" difference in height is completely acceptable. The "safe zone" for all tow bars, including your Roadmaster Flacon # RM-522 is within 3" of level. You are going to be just fine using the 6" High Low Adapter # RM-076. Take a look at the picture below.
view full answer... - Max Height Distance Allowed Between Base Plates on a 2012 Honda CR-V and Motorhome ReceiverWhen towing a vehicle, like your 2012 Honda CR-V, you need to make sure that the tow bar isn't 3" higher or lower than the center of your motorhome receiver. If your tow bar won't be within this range naturally you can actually use a tow bar adapter like part # RM-076 which has a 6" rise/drop to keep your tow bar as level as possible. I have linked our selection of adapters as well as a helpful article that goes into more detail about how to choose the correct one for your application. For...

- Why Would Wheels of Towed Vehicle Not Want to Straighten Up After Sharp TurnSounds like your towbar isn't sitting perfectly level and because it is nose down it wants to pull the front of the wheels of your tow vehicle the wrong direction around corners. If you are using a hitch mounted tow bar then you would need a high low adapter like part # RM-076. Or if you have a ball mount mounted tow bar you would need the correct drop ball mount to tow it level. I attached a help article on selecting the correct ball mount plus a link to a page that has all of the high...
view full answer... - Could Roadmaster High Low Adapter # RM-076 Be Used with Scooter CarrierAs long as the weight of your carrier and chair is less than 200 lbs the Roadmaster Drop Adapter part # RM-076 will work well for you as it gives you the drop you need. It also cuts the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent but since it's a truck that shouldn't be a problem.

This type of adapter will only work if you have a 2 inch hitch receiver on your Volvo. I've attached a link to your options. If you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, then no adapter will work. However, you may want to consider a carrier with a built in rise in the shank...

It also will work as a hitch extender like you have already too. I attached a picture that shows dimensions of this adapter for you to check out as well. You should note that adapters like this (and the one you currently have) cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent.

- High Low Adapter Needed for RV to Raise Hitch Height When Flat TowingWe do offer extender/riser combinations, also know as high-low adapters, for situations like yours.

- Option to Lower Hitch Height for Use with Bike Rack to Make Loading EasierWe have the Roadmaster High Low adapter part # RM-048-6 which would allow you to lower the overall hitch height by 6 inches. Only thing to keep in mind is that this cuts the capacity of the hitch it is used on by 50 percent.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Adapter To Raise Cargo Carrier For Ground ClearanceWe do have a hitch adapter that might work for you, but it does reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent when used. I recommend the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter, part # RM-076. This adapter has a 6 inch rise and is designed to work with 2 inch receivers. For an adapter with a 4 inch rise I recommend part # RM-048-4.
view full answer... - Solution For A Motorhome That Is Sitting Too High Above Towed Vehicle While Flat TowingIf your motorhome is too high for your 2017 Ford Edge, you're going to need to use a high-low adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-076. This is designed specifically to make up for the height difference between your RV and your towed vehicle. This particular adapter has 6" of rise, and 6" of drop. I have attached a FAQ detailing how you can measure the correct rise and drop you need for your 2017 Ford Edge.
view full answer... - Recommended 6 Inch Rise Adapter To Flat Tow A Ford C-MAXFor your Ford C-MAX, I recommend the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 6" Rise/Drop - 6K GTW, 100 lbs TW # RM-076 which will have the capacity you need at a lesser price than the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 6" Rise/Drop - 10K GTW, 400 lbs TW # RM-048-6.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Increasing Ground Clearance with a Hitch Mounted Cargo CarrierThe Roadmaster Adapter part # RM-076 has only been tested for flat towing situations so I cannot recommend you use it to give you additional ground clearance with your cargo carrier on your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. The best recommendation I could give you would be to get the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 and use the top opening to give you additional an additional 6 inches of rise. I attached a review video for you to check out also.
