Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long
We were looking for a solution to haul our utv when pulling our camper. This extender allowed us to leave the tailgate down and still have enough clearance to not damage the tailgate. Downside--this extender amplifies the amount of movement with the hitch. This is more than a simple hitch clamp could fix. I added several modifications to completely eliminate the hitch movement. We have taken several trips since the installation and no issues with pulling the trailer. We did have to extend the safety chains about 4 links. Overall a good product and it accomplished the goal. As always,etrailer personnel are knowledgeable, easy to deal with and have quick shipments.
I ordered this hitch extender because my new 2024 Vexus VX21 bass boat has a ladder installed on the trailer. If you back up too sharp in one direction you will push step 2 clean through your truck rear bumper on the right side. I have problems with co-angles not listening to me and not focusing when backing my boat into and taking out of a ramp. This Brophy Hitch Extender was the perfect solution and it is exceptionally well constructed. Thank you as this now gives me piece of mind that my bumper will not be destroyed.
