Most Popular Reese for 2009 Jeep Liberty

I ordered this 3 inch to 2 inch hitch reducer because I had purchased a new RV and the receiver on the new RV is a 3 inch hitch. My previous RV hitch size was 2 inch. I needed a 2 inch receiver because I am re-using my Blue Ox tow bar which has a 2 inch hitch. Fit perfectly. See pictures.

We use this in the 20,000# receiver on our super C motorhome to mount a Roadmaster Falcon tow bar for our Jeep It works very well and have had no problems with it. I also mount a standard drop mount ball to pull a cargo trailer on occasion. I would definitely recommend it for these uses.

I had to remove burrs from the inside of the tube, both at the holes drilled (for hitch pin) and the end where the ball hitch goes in. The welded boss on the end of the tube had burs left over from the cutoff operation. The ball hitch would only slide in a couple of inches prior to deburring it. Also the packaging was not very good, see pictures. No damage to the product but I am surprised it even stayed in the box during the trip here, it was completely loose in the box and tore it apart during transport.

The product is good the packaging for shipping needs improvement. The box came ripped in half and only the tape on the bottom of the box was holding the box together. The plastic cap for the one end was broken and unusable. The other end had a dent in the metal that had to be filled down to be able to insert it into the receiver. The bracket for the plug extension to mount into the hitch extension was bent together so it had to be bent back straight. This was to be able to insert the plug and line up the 4 holes to be able to mount the receiver plug to the extension.

Just received the 41/48 inch hitch extension today so haven’t actually used it. However, one can tell the high quality by looking at the welds and thick paint coating. This item is extremely heavy. I expected some weight to it, but it surprised me. Also, the tubing has very tight tolerances. I have two ball mounts, neither of which slid into the extension on their own. I had to pound them in and tap them out with a 3 pound hammer. Once paint and labels were scraped away by this action the ball mounts were able to be slid in by hand. This extension will be used on my dually carrying my truck camper. I’ll be towing an aluminum trailer with a Can Am Spyder. Total weight towed will be less than 2000 pounds so I don’t expect the extension to be subjected to any stress.

As per my last 3 orders here are some pictures of how I received the item along with what was broke or bent. I can fix it but I shouldn’t have to. So I will try elsewhere from now on cant deal with your shipping dept , anymore.
