Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
Today we're going to review Part Number E-11. This is Curt 12" long combo bar with the 2" trailer hitch receiver opening in an unpainted finish. This part is designed for use in fabricating under cover receiver hitches, when there's no receiver available. It is made of a cold formed structural tubing. It is sized and punched to fit all common weight distributing hitch ball mounts, or utility ball mounts. Has a forged collar, as you can see right on the opening here.
Again, it's an unpainted, raw finish. The reason that do that; it's ideal for welding, because it will save on your prep time during installation. A few dimensions on this; overall length again from edge-to-edge, going to be right at 12". Again, the opening is going to be 2" x 2". The measurement of the hitch pin hole from the very front to the center of the hitch pin hole is going to be right at 2 1/2". That should do it for the review on part number E-11. The Curt 12" long combo bar with the 2" trailer hitch receiver opening in an unpainted finish.

I have a Billy Goat Leaf Loader swing away hitch mount but it didn't come with a hitch to pull a trailer I have a 4x8 open trailer (2000 lb max). So I decided to weld a hitch to it. I also used 1/4 inch thick metal to reinforce the hitch and used etrailer's Safety Chain Loop for Hitch Receivers. I used mig welder with 120amps and had to make extra beads, 3 to 4 beads in some spots i primed it and painted it works great! Thank You etrailer!!!

Grade A product. Fast shipping! I bought 2 of these to weld on the back of an off road mini camper i am building. They will be supports for stabilizing jacks. 3' square 2 x 2 will slide up and down in them with a foot pad welded to the bottom.

I used these as leveler guides a year ago. I dont think i will ever have to replace them as long as the off rd trailer last. They are very heavy duty quality. I would post a picture of them in use on finished product if i could.

The product is heavy duty. The quality of the weld work is exceptional. Would recommend this product. Packaged well. Bought a curt rubber end cap. Which by the way is another exceptional product (great quality rubber cap) drilled a few holes painted it and works like a champ. Now I can build a carrier for front of my pickup.

I used this product to build a spare tire rack in preparation for our trip to Alaska. Your product was tough and durable allowing me to weld the two pieces together forming a receiver for the tire rack.

Heavy duty, well-made. I bought the unfinished combo bar so that I could weld a coupler to it (I was assembling a device to make it easier for RV dealers to service my travel trailer that features a Hensley Arrow unit). It works like a charm, and was easier to assemble in its raw form. Also easy to paint after assembly.

Nice receiver, I welded these to my welding trailer for moving my vise, bench grinder and other accessories around. With small 1.5" welds with 1.5" spaces down each side makes for a solid bond and no warping so hitch still slides smoothly.

product was much better than I expected. It's just an extra receiver to weld on an existing hitch, but it has a brass collar at the receiving end...very nice, and an extra bonus. I will go to etrailer.com first for any other parts I need.

I bought two 2" receivers 12" long to customize my snow plow for support on each side of the frame. I ordered them and got them less than a week along with e-mails up dating me on the status of delivery. I am very happy with the quality of the product and the service I recieved. Thanks etrailer.

It was exactly as advertised and what i was wanting to modify a hitch. The hitch on my Mercedes station wagon wasn't long enough to clear bumper cover so replacing 8"receiver tube with this was exactly correct length.

It has a really nice forged steel collar around the outside unlike the typical doubled up tube that most receivers use. it will make my custom hitch look great. well worth what I thought was a premium price.

Didn't notice before I bought it, but the support protection ring at the opening is a cast piece, nicely rounded and smooth for a professional install and less likely to yield scrapes when reaching around to hook up chains. As such it is also a complete loop, no joints, and it's welded top and bottom to receiver so it won't pop off if it were to scrape some concrete here and there. Some that I looked at were welded only on one side.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Hitch Fabrication Parts
- What is Wall Thickness of Curt Combo Bar # E-11Hey Art, the Curt combo bar part # E-11 that you referenced does have a wall thickness of 1/4 inch. What are you planning on installing this on?
view full answer... - Recommended Lock N Roll Ball Mount and Trailer Coupler for a T@B 400 Hey Amber. The Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch item # 336VS501 is the correct one for your Toyota Tacoma. It fits a 2" hitch receiver, has no drop, and is compatible with the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler item # 336TS510 you referenced. Please note that the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler item # 336TS510 is designed to attach to a 2" receiver like item # E-11 that would be welded to your T@B 400's coupler. Since you have an A-frame coupler, the Lock N Roll Articulating...
view full answer... - Do You Have a Front Hitch for a 1989 Chevy Suburban 2500?Hey Sam. I am not sure who you spoke to but we do not have a front hitch for a 1989 Chevy Suburban 2500. I checked our supply and with our vendors and nobody has one. The only solution I have for you to add a front hitch is to have one custom fabricated. I recommend using the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted item # E-11 and reaching out to a local welding shop. Why are you wanting to add a front hitch to your suburban?
view full answer... - Can a Hitch be Attached to Side of RV for AccessoriesHey Liz, you'd need to look into having a combo bar like the part # E-11 welded to the frame of your RV where you are wanting it. There are no side mounted hitch options available so you would have to have something welded or fabricated.
view full answer... - Does the EcoHitch Hidden Front Trailer Hitch EH79CR Fit the 2024 Ford Transit 150?No, I am sorry it will not. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Trailer Hitch item # EH79CR stopped fitting the Ford Transit 150s after the 2023 model years. I do not have a custom fit front hitch for a 2024 Ford Transit 150. The only solution I have is to use the Combo Bar 12" item # E-11 and have one custom fabricated. You'll definitely want to contact a local welding shop.
view full answer... - Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a Snowplow on a 2021 Gladiator MojaveHey Steve. Sorry but no one makes a front hitch that fits a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. It looks like the SnowSport snowplows like item # SS39PV attach with 2" receivers. You could take the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # E-11 to a fabricator or you may also want to look at the Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow item # K2RAMP8219 that attaches to your Jeep with the Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snowplows item # K284219.
view full answer... - Do they Make a Front Hitch for a 2025 GMC Savana 2500 Cargo Van? I am sorry Neel they do not. It doesn't look like anyone has made one for the last few years for the Savana 2500 vans. What are you wanting to use a front hitch for? I can try to find you an alternate solution like a roof rack. Other than that the only option I have is for you to use the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted # E-11 and have one custom fabricated.
view full answer... - Does the Draw-Tite Front Trailer Hitch DT36MR Fit a 2024 Ford F-600?No, I am sorry Frank it will not. The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # DT36MR fits the 2019 - 2025 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500. I do not have a custom fit front hitch for a 2024 Ford F-600. The only solution I have is to use the Combo Bar 12" item # E-11 and have one custom fabricated.
view full answer... - Availability of Hitch For 2016 Forest River Rockwood Roo 23WS With 68-1/4 Frame for VelociRAX 5-BikeHi Andrew; can you double check that frame measurement? Assuming that is correct, the only hitches that can accommodate your 68-1/4" frame don't have a high enough tongue weight capacity. The # C13704 you looked at has the necessary max tongue weight but only fits frames up to 66" wide. We have some Class V weld-on hitches with a 2" receiver but they max out at 62" so those won't work either. Unless your frame measurement is off I think the only solution is to take the # E-11 to a local...
view full answer... - Is there a Front Mount Hitch for a 2024 Ford E-450?No, Erich I am really sorry but we do not. I checked with our vendors and Curt, Torklift, and Draw-Tite do not have anything available either. Additionally, I went back a few years and saw that we have never had a custom fit from mount hitch available for the E-450s. The only solution I have to offer for you is to use either the Weld-On Receiver item # E17 or the Combo Bar 12" item # E-11 and speak to a local fabricator in your area about having a front hitch custom build for your vehicle.
view full answer... - Option for Mounting Winch in Toy Hauler Cargo Area FloorWhat a lot of people do to mount a winch like the Superwinch Tiger Shark Series # SW1595200 to the floor of a trailer is use a hitch mount like the part # C31010 and then fabricate a hitch opening to the floor of the trailer like the # E-11 welded to the frame or a crossmember of it. You'd have to cut a hole in the floor to accomplish this. The hitch mount route allows the winch to easily be removed from the trailer if needed as well.
view full answer... - Can Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket # BDW20154 be Used when Operating the WinchThe Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket # BDW20154 is meant to just hold a winch on a hitch mounted winch mount. It isn't meant to be used while using the winch or as an attachment point itself. What you could do though is weld on a combo bar, # E-11, and use that since it is rated for carrying weight.
view full answer... - Replacement RV Trailer Hitch Compatible with Workhorse ChassisWe don't have a specific V shaped option compatible with your Workhorse Chassis. The only options we have a straight bars like Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch, 24" - 46" wide # 5350. For your application, it sounds like you will need to have a shop make something custom for you. I recommend starting with the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver - Unpainted # E-11 and having something custom welded for your application. If you were to alter something like the etrailer Trailer...
view full answer... - Solution for Class V Hitch on 2011 Fleetwood Expedition MotorhomeFor hitch fabrication we only offer the receiver tube like the # E-11 or # C49511. You would need to take this to a local fabricator and they would be able to fashion a hitch and brackets that will fit your 2011 Fleetwood Expedition Motorhome. The other option would be to use one of the universal Class V hitches we have listed for your motorhome. We have the Curt # C47CR with a 9" drop and the Curt # C99CR with an 18" drop. Both options have a 2" receiver. The # C37CR and # C87CR are...

The hitch mount route allows the winch to easily be removed from the trailer if needed as well.
view full answer... - Options to Add 2-Inch Receiver Tube to Car Lift for Use with Winch Mount We have not before had another customer inquire about your specific application but we do have hitch fabrication parts that might work for you. Please see the linked page. Based on the substantial material of your lift a weld-on part like the 12-inch Curt Combo Bar # E-11 or the 6-inch # E-9 might be the most direct way to add the 2-inch receiver you want for your winch mount. I suggest making a call to the manufacturer of the lift system just to make sure they have no issues with welding...
view full answer... - 12 inch Long Hitch Tube Recommendation that has a 2 inch OpeningThe Brophy Hitch Reducer # HR26 has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. I have a better solution for you since this was not designed for welding to a bumper. For a product that is very similar that is designed to be welded and used as a hitch opening check out the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-11. This is also 12 inches long. Check out the review video I attached as well. When installed on your bumper it will have the same capacity as the bumper as long as it is welded...
view full answer... - What Are the Gross Towing and Tongue Weight Capacities of Curt Combo Bar # E-11The Curt Combo Bar with 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-11 does not carry a specific tongue weight or towing capacity because these ratings are entirely dependent on the specific installation. The surfaces it is welded to and the manner of installation will be the determining factors in its actual capacity. I verified with Curt that this item carries no specific ratings since it is a general-purpose item.
view full answer... - Solution for Needing 2 inch to 2 inch Hitch Tube AdapterWhile we don't have exactly what you are looking for you could use the Combo Bar part # E-11 which is a 12 inch section of 2 inch hitch tube that you could put a second hitch pin hole in by drilling a second hitch pin hole.
view full answer... - Would Bulldog Winch BDW15019 Mount to Trailer Floor and Work Well to Load 2,500 lb CarThe Bulldog Winch part # BDW15019 would easily pull a 2,500 lb race car into an enclosed trailer. It has a 4,400 lb capacity which would make easy work of that weight. Bulldog winches are very reliable too. What a lot of people do to mount a winch to the floor of a trailer is use a hitch mount like the part # C31010 and then fabricate a hitch opening to the floor of the trailer like the # E-11. The hitch mount route allows the winch to easily be removed from the trailer if needed as well.
view full answer... - Welding a 2 Inch Receiver to a Steel Plate on a 1998 GMC C/K Series Pickup TruckReducer sleeve # C45405 is made of steel. The same steel used to make trailer hitches. The wall thickness is 1/4 but varies slightly from sleeve to sleeve. This reducer sleeve is not really meant for the purpose you want. I have a better option for you. You could use a hitch fabrication part such as # E-9, # E-11, # 2852, # 80818, or # E17. The ones that are raw steel would be much better for welding and they are designed for applications like you are describing.
view full answer... - Will Curt Font Hitch Fit 2022 Chevy Silverado 6500 ChassisHi Kevin; I'm sorry to say the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C52NR is not a fit for your Chevy Silverado 6500 chassis. The only option would be to use a universal weld-on hitch like the Curt Class 5 # C47CR or have a local fabricator fashion a front hitch using the # E-11. What will you be using the hitch for?
view full answer... - Recommended Combo Bar With 2 Inch Receiver Opening To Weld To Horizontal CrossbarThe flanges on part # E17 are spaced 2-3/8 inches apart and designed to be welded to a bar that fits between them. We also have a couple combo bars that may work better for you. The first is part # E-9. This is a 6 inch combo bar that has a 2 inch receiver opening and a collar. The next combo bar we offer is part # E-11. This bar measures 12 inches long and it also has a 2 inch receiver opening and a collar attached. Since you said you are wanting to weld it to a horizontal cross...
view full answer... - Does etrailer Make Custom Front Hitches?No, I am sorry we do not make custom hitches but we do have the parts you will need to have a fabricator in your area build one for you. You can use the Weld-On Receiver item # E17 or the Combo Bar 12" with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # E-11 to get you started.
