Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
This has worked great to reduce my 2" hitch so that I can continue to use my 1 1/4" Thule bike rack, and I like that it doesn't extend out much from the hitch. After my last trip though, the inset separated from the larger piece. I can still use it, but without the smaller piece fixed in place, I can't put it on the car first and then slide the bike rack into it since the smaller piece slides, and it's impossible to line the holes up. It's also rusted more than I expected. It wasn't inexpensive, and I was hoping it would last longer. I've used it for maybe a dozen trips.
Perfect fit BUT the inner tube broke away from the outer tube after about a dozen trips. One small weld on the outside corner is all that holds it on. The small amount of play must have been too much for it. I was even using an anti-rattle lock pin. Very disappointing due to the price point. And now it’s unsafe to use as it could slip right out of the receiver.

MaxxTow Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" to 1-1/4" Hitch - 11" Long
Installed my 2” hitch but don’t have a 2” bike trailer yet. I purchased this to continue to use my 1.25” bike trailer (until I find a deal). Used this over Thanksgiving weekend on I35 in Texas (tons of traffic)and I’m very pleased with the performance. I’m was secure and bikes traveled just fine.
I ordered this adapter from e-Trailer so I could extend my bike rack past my spare tire on my 2005 Honda CRV. This solved my problem and this thing is well made to take the weight. I'm glad I purchased from e-trailer because I know now that they sell quality products as I have also purchased a new receiver, ball mount and 2' ball to pull my trailer. If your goal is quality, great service and fast shipping then e-Trailer is one company to go with.

Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Long
Just received my 80307 Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Long. My newly upsized spare tire had been preventing the use of my hitch rack. Was very pleased with the etrailer service and the ease of using the website. The excellent descriptions, photos, and even videos really help shopping for these types of specialty parts. Shipping went well and expediently. I trial fit the extension with my hitch rack today, and the photos are attached. It fit well and did the trick. I drove around and heard no rattles from it at all.
Prefect fit well

Hitch Adapter 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver - 7" Long
Fantastic Product. Saved me from having to buy a brand new bike holder for my new car with a different hitch size.
Professional, delivered a day early. As promised. What more can you want.

Hitch Extender For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver 10"
I recently had a hitch installed on my car. Since the cargo carrier that I have was used previously without an adapter, I assumed that I didn't need one. Now trying to locate one was more of an effort than locating a hitch. The local auto parts stores of national brands don't keep them in stock. One store made an inquiry but didn't give me much hope. Now I can make a rode trip in confidence that the carrier will be secure as I head down the interstate.
Customer service was excellent. this was what i needed and they helped make sure i received the correct part!

Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver
Used the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver to have a bike rack with two bikes on the upper Receiver and a 21' bassboat on the lower Receiver. Ran down to Florida Everglades, Florida Keys and back home. Almost exactly 4,000 miles. Hitch worked perfectly. I did find that you can not "jacknife" the boat as much or the bow of the boat will touch the bikes on the rack but that is to be expected. Hitch was quiet, strong and exceeded my expectations. Easy to install and looking forward to using it again in a month for another 4,000 mile road trip. Note: I drive fast and the roads are not always perfect. This is a sturdy Hitch Receiver. Hope this review helps you. Sorry, crummy photo as the Receiver is a "set it and forget it" product. Be well.
I bought this Dual Purpose Receiver at Twice the price of that Big online company because of reviews from owners that bought on both sites. After evaluating the reviews, I chose to go with etrailer because I have come to trust them as a company that gives you a great product that they will stand behind and they appreciate your business. I haven’t used this receiver yet, but can look at it and I am comfortable that I made the right choice. I will follow up with another review after I use it.

CR Brophy Hitch Extender for 1-1/4" Hitch Receivers - 5-3/4" Long
Here in Saskatoon, Canada, I am very pleased to endorse J&J's flagpole holder and hitch mount extension products. Solid construction and beautifully finished engineered pieces. Fitted easily onto my '92 Camaro RS, for Shriner parades. Supporting a worthy philanthropic effort for children.
I personally couldn't use it. But I know metal industry very well and this will work perfectly in its environment. It was just not needed and I never put it on.

Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise
Thank you for the personal touch on the order. Not many company's do this. This is a good product and a good price. My car sits low and we needed to raise the carrier up. Looks like this will work out.
I bought this adapter so that I could mount a bike rack on the back of my 2012 Honda Civic. The adapter got the bikes high enough so that they wouldn't hit the pavement when backing out of my driveway and transitioning to the street. The product is definitely strong and well made. It was put to the test with a very heavy steel thule bike rack that was definitely heavier than all 4 of the bikes that were mounted on it. The fit was precise so it didn't hit my rear bumper as well.

Draw-Tite Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long
I was surprised by just how solid and heavy it was made. Just what I needed to move my Bobcat UTV hitch back to I can use it as my yard dog to shift my trailers around and not worry about the plastic tailgate nor the plastic bed getting damaged. The hitch sits under the bed and this extends it out so it is useable.
The hitch extension worked perfect. The only one that was 18" pin to pin which was exacty what I needed to make this combo work. Dual hitch to start. Top whole a luggage rack to haul coolers and the bottom for the bike rack. Thanks etrailer.

Advantage SportsRack Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 11" Long
The "Hitch Extender" that I ordered works great. Everytime I go RVing in my Winnebago MH I utilize it. Jerry Barnes
This is a very good product. However you need to be careful what vehicle and bike rack that you intend to use with it. My vehicles 2" hitch was not hollow past the end and the hitch extender bottomed in the hitch before the 2nd hole could be lined up and used. So the 2nd hole on the vehicle side was unusable. Then using the Swagman Chinook 2 bike rack I found that the bike rack hitch could not be inserted deep enough into this hitch extender to be able to use the 2nd hole in the extender, on the rack side. With that situation I was not able to use the 2 holes that would get the bike rack installed in the shortest distance from the rear of the. vehicle.

Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 14" Long
This is a very well built extension, just what I needed, great service and fast shipping. Thanks etrailer
It works great,by moving the trailer back from the vehicle you can load longer items,so there are not hanging over the back of the trailer. It also helps in the backing of the trailer. Thank You

It works great I kinda wish I had gotten two of them ‘mmmm

Curt Hitch Extender for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers - 7" Long
Perfect fit to extend the hitch to allow my bike rack to clear the back bumper. Great quality as well.
This hitch extension was exactly what I needed. New hitch on the Toyota Avalon has the receiver box a little too far under the bumper to fit my bike carrier. The diagonal support on the carrier didn't allow hitch pins to align without modifying (cutting) bumper. This extension was a simple yet effective solution to moving the carrier away from rear of vehicle. (Photos were taken without hitch pin in place) The item was in stock and shipped rapidly. Thank you etrailer.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long
Perfect solution to adapting my hitch to my bike rack. The people at U Hall were very helpful.
The fact that it's steel is a plus, and it extends the hitch so that the bike rack that's attached now is far enough away from the hatch to not bang against it. Great product!

Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7"
Allows me to use my back rack and small boat trailer without having to remove the spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler. Works well.
I needed my bike to clear my bumper on a front hitch and this did the trick. This extender is hollow so I was able to use anti rattle/ lock before adding bike rack.

Reese Titan Reducer Sleeve 2-1/2" to 2"
This ain't pretty. But size does matter. The 58102 2" X 2 1/2" receiver adapter hits the spot. It fits nicely into the 2 1/2" receiver with, at most, 1/8" space "slap" room. It's almost full length front to back inside receiver providing plenty of support for my 2" weight distribution system without slap. I have not hooked up my Forest River 29'4", 10,7 75 lb. GVWR Puma tow behind R/V but I do not have any fear of this well constructed, perfect fitting receiver adapter. The people at etrailer are there, willing and able to assist you. I have personally found that, if the C.S. Rep doesn't know the answer, she/he will find the answer and report back to you, in my case within minutes. My purchase was delivered (snail mail) within 5 days and In excellent condition. I will report back shortly after a trial run hooked up.
This fits a Curt 2 1/2 receiver perfectly. Allows me to use receiver with my various drawbars for different trailers when I am not using the Forklift hitch box extension.

Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter
Unfortunately this receiver adapter did not fit my Ford F250 3" hitch, way too tight. Worked with Arthur from e-trailer to obtain a return/refund. After looking at reviews, I see many other folks had the same issue. If I were e-trailer I would pull this item from my product offering.
When I went to use this my bike rack would not fit in the 2" receiver because it was poorly made. Unfortunately it was well past etrailers 60 day return policy so they told me they would not help me. I contacted buyers myself and they were happy to help me and took the old one back and shipped me a new one that works great. If buyers did it for me, they certainly would have done it for etrailer but etrailer couldn't be bothered with it. I will buy buyers products again but will not buy anything from etrailer anymore. They also told me I would need to buy a whole new $XXX base for my bw companion hitch because the parts were not available. A quick call to bw and my. $XX parts were on their way. Again,poor service from etrailer. Back to local shops for me.

Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, 41" - 48" Long
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.
Would have given this 5 stars if it weren’t for the packaging and minor shipping damage. It was just stuck in a box that was way way to large for it, no padding or anything. I’m amazed it was even still in the box all things considered. But that said the extension itself is very well made, super solid.

Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter with 2" or 6" Drop/Rise
Worked out great for my family bike adventure. Traveled with that setup over 1000 miles and it was easy drive. I had cargo carrier on the bottom and bike rack on top, and with that setup and 4 people on board still plenty of ground clearance 11". Dual hitch is a solid piece of steel that can carry a lot of lbs. Just don't overload max. tong weight, need some room for safety!
This adapter design was exactly what I was looking for. I often carry 4 or more bikes with my Sylvan GO. The pictures show how I configured my setup. Its perfect!!! And yes, I have to be a little careful on really tight turns but its never been an issue. Thank you George and the etrailer team.

Hitch Box Extension and Reducer for Titan 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, 24" - 34" Long
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.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Motion XT Alpine rooftop cargo box. That's going to be part number TH629506. As you can see, this cargo box mounts the roof rack of our Grand Caravan. You can use it for either the factory roof rack that we have installed on this certain Caravan. Or if you have a naked roof along with a after-market roof top rack, it's going to work out with that as well. It has a very nice aerodynamic shape to it, and that's going to help cut down on wind noise and drag while you're traveling.It's got a wider base than a lot of other roof top racks do.

So that's going to help cut down on wind noise and drag while you're traveling. Even those far distances, your gas mileage shouldn't be affected too much.
