Highlights

  • Fixes Hitch Mismatch: Converts your 2-1/2" receiver to fit 2" hitch accessories.
  • Won't Slip Out During Setup: Magnets keep the reducer in place while you line up your hitch pin.
  • Fast Install: Works with your existing pin and clip.
  • Maintains Full Towing Capacity: Reduces your receiver size without cutting down what you can tow.
  • Rust Protection: Red powder coat with e-coat layer helps fight corrosion.
  • Expandable System: Works with the black BTBRV 3" to 2-1/2" reducer (BTBRV74FR - sold separately).

Features to know about

Magnets Make Setup Simple

Magnetic reducer sleeve shown inside hitch receiver

Reducers without magnets can slide around or fall out while you're trying to line up the pin, and that gets frustrating fast. This one's different. Magnets hold the sleeve in your 2-1/2" receiver so you're not wrestling with it, and the slot on the side gives you wiggle room so you don't have to line it up perfectly. Once your accessory is in place, slide the pin through to secure it. The magnets make setup easier, but the pin is what keeps the reducer from falling out when the receiver is empty.

No Loss in Capacity

Some adapters cut down your towing rating. This one doesn't. You keep the full capacity of your 2-1/2" receiver while running 2" accessories.

Expandable System

This red sleeve works on its own or pairs with the black BTBRV 3" to 2-1/2" reducer (sold separately). Together, they step a 3" receiver down to 2".

Tested, Trusted, and JD Approved

JD's the guy behind Big Truck Big RV and he doesn't just slap his name on gear he doesn't use. He's been towing long enough to know what works and what doesn't. He's used this reducer, trusted it, and put it through real trips with his own family riding along. If it says BTBRV, it's been tested in the kind of conditions that separate the good stuff from the junk.

Thank you for the kind words, David! We appreciate your business and look forward to assisting you in the future :)

by:
The appearance is nice, but once it is covered in grease and shoved into the receiver slot, it mostly disappears. I was hoping that this reducer would eliminate the slop and rattle from my trailer hitch, it did not. I have ordered an anti-rattle clamp to tighten my hitch, hopefully this reducer is compatible. The magnets are unnecessary. You still must secure the device with a locking pin. Otherwise it could be dislodged and become a hazard for others.
by:
Fits like a glove! This is my second magnetic hitch reducer sleeve. They keep getting better.
by:
Only used it once, but thus far, it has functioned as hoped. Built sturdy, the elongated hitch pin hole eliminates the variability of different receivers. The magnets help keeping it in place.
by:
Hitch Receiverw Reducer is a perfect fit. Wife and I greatful that someone addressed an issue that has been a nightmare. Both of us are elderly and were able to smile after addressing this same issue in no time.Thank you. Will now focus on same issue for RV.
by:
This magnetic reducer is a game changer. Crazy how little things can make a big difference. I don’t have to fight to get everything lined up trying to insert the hitch pin- where my old reducer would slide back and forth blocking things from properly lining up.
by:
It’s game changer trying to put receiver in and definitely the pin
by:
Great product, much better fit than the reducers that used to come with HD trucks and it’s red so I won’t lose it.
by:
Fit perfectly, easy alignment for my equalizer hitch. Fit is tight unlike the previous item I used from a carparts store.

Glad that this one is an upgrade from the previous one you had! Love seeing that red.

by:
Best product ever. Magnets hold it solid when sliding in hitch. Slots make it easy to install pin
by:
I just received today so haven’t actually gotten to use it with trailer yet. But packed like a tank lol! I’ve bought guitars and they weren’t packed any better. I installed in my 2.5 receiver and fit nicely,a little slack but not bad (to be expected) so I went ahead and installed my 2.0 hitch and it fit as well. The main reason I wanted this reducer was the magnet and it really holds well. I don’t plan on going down the road with reducer installed and not pinning it but I don’t know about every one else but things happen sometimes. I think this would stay in place in such a situation. I would really hate it to go through someone’s windshield because I forgot to remove or pin it properly. I think this is a great product and I would buy again. Shipping was fast and well packaged. Great job guys ??

Thanks for the awesome review Randy. Glad you picked out a good one, the magnet on this thing is pretty heavy duty! I am glad that you realize that there is going to be a little slack, not everyone does =) The emojis do not show up, well they do but as question marks, I am guessing they were 2 thumbs up! I have to know now, what is your favorite song to play on the guitar?

@KateF You may be out of luck lol!!! I don’t think we’re on top 40 yet I gave up on that a looong time ago. We don’t really have a band name just several local friends that get together and play mostly small venues senior citizens halls birthdays and local events. We have a blast and seems like our audience does also. To me that’s what music is all about. Just good times watching folks enjoy themselves Thanks for your interest Randy
by:
this hitch is massive.. AAA fast shipping. box/packaging could be better for the size and weight of hitch.. dox was destroyed on arrival.. only problem is the lose parts could be lost.. mine survived the trip. thanks
by:
Awesome reducer sleeve. The magnets are super strong.
by:
Perfect for me. I have different ball mounts with various pin locations. Hard to find receiver reducer that lined up with the different ones. The slot will solve the problem and the magnets help hold in place while changing mounts. Reducer appears to be made with quality materials and workmanship. Came very nicely packaged.
by:
The product is exactly as it’s described. It made attaching my 2 inch draw bar to my 2 1/2 inch receiver so much easier without having to deal with the alignment of a sleeve, moving in and out of the receiver. I’m so glad I discovered this product.
by:
Heavy with a strong set of magnets to hold it in place. I'm using it in a new RAM 2500 and it fit like a glove. NO SLOP... Product shipped quickly and arrived quickly. As always...pleased with eTrailer.
by:
I have a 2.5" receiver and it fits securely with the magnets, and the slotted holes align perfectly with the receiver openings.the bittm lip allows for easy removal. Overall, it's an excellent product and a good value.
by:
Install easy. Red color nice accent w
Uh
blue truck. With magnetic insert hoping this will cutdown on hitch rattle
by:
Great product, but the fit is loose. My bicycle rack moves a lot, especially when driving over bumps.
by:
Pros: Really great fit into Ford's 2.5" receiver, much better than the Curt sleeve. The flange also stops it from slipping too far into the receiver which is nice. Con: The inner 2" fit is oversized enough that the hitch rattles in it. I should be able to shim it, but a bit disappointed to have to do that. Overall it's a clear upgrade from the Curt reducer.
by:
The pin slot in the side is so long that it works its way out of the hitch while towing. Mine is sticking out an inch. This means there is an inch less contact inside the 2.5 inch receiver which equals higher stress. Not sure if this is an issue but it is concerning. Also the sliding back and forth scraps off the paint so it’s sticking out and looks bad.
by:
just as described, what I needed. Does NOT reduce towing capacity!
by:
Well made reducer sleeve, much nicer than the OEM part. Fits perfectly into the factory receiver, slotted pin pass thru eliminated alignment issues. Appreciated the quick shipment!
by:
Although it was sent via pony express (USPS), it arrived in perfect condition, in packaging worthy of a piece of fine china.
This adapter fits my factory installed Ford receiver with virtually no play, so the imbedded magnets will basically serve to keep it from pulling out while removing a hitch, because there’s no way this thing will rattle. I am very satisfied with this piece.
by:
Nice looking, great quality. Fits like a glove and gets rid of the shuffling to line up holes for the hitch pin. Very pleased!

  • Correct Blue Ox SwayPro for Trailer with 1,330 lb Dry Tongue Weight
    Hey Edwin! If the listed dry tongue weight is 1,330 lbs you will likely be over the rating of your current SwayPro spring bars. You'll probably be adding 150-200 lbs with the propane and batteries, but that does depend on the number of propane tanks and the size of the batteries. Add in whatever you store in the front pass through, inside the trailer toward the font, anything you're carrying behind the rear axle on your tow vehicle, and you can easily exceed 1,500 lbs. Since you already...

  • Will BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve Slide Out While Towing
    Hey Steve, great question! The magnets on the BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # BTBRV64FR are strong enough to keep this from happening. They will keep it secure in your 2-1/2" receiver so you don't have to worry about it sliding out while towing. What kind of trailer are you towing?

  • Tightest 2-1/2" to 2" Receiver Reducer Sleeve with the Least Movement
    Hi Martin! You're actually looking at the reducer sleeve I'd recommend. The BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve, Part # BTBRV64FR, is the tightest fitting 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch reducer we carry, and it's my favorite for minimizing movement. I've actually tested this one here in-house, and the magnets are surprisingly strong. They hold the sleeve securely in the receiver, so it doesn't slide around or fall out while you're trying to line everything up. The slotted pin hole also...

  • Recommended Hitch Reducer for a 2-1/2" Hitch Receiver
    Welcome back Rodney. The BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # BTBRV64FR is what you'll need to convert your 2-1/2" hitch receiver to accept 2" ball mounts. It's going to insert inside the receiver and be held in place by the built in magnets and your hitch pin. It will not reduce your hitch's capacity or move the hitch pin connection point out from where it is now. If you need an extension to get some distance past your bumper, I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender...

  • What Class V Trailer Hitch do You Have for My 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 with Flatbed and Original Hitch?
    Hello Michael, I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Custom Fit Class V Commercial Duty 2-1/2" # C15809 (for 2" receiver # C15409). This is a really solid heavy duty option for your 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup with flatbed. One nice thing about this hitch is that you can install it with your current hitch still in place (see attached image). That way you keep the 2" receiver you already have and also gain a Class V 2-1/2" receiver for heavier towing. It gives you a lot of flexibility...

  • 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch Hitch Reducer that Fits Torklift Superhitch
    Hey Dave, yeah the lower lip of the BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # BTBRV64FR would make it not ideal for a Superhitch that has stacked hitch openings. Based on that a better option would be an adapter like the part # BWRHXA2182 that doesn't have that lip and costs about the same. Did you lose the one that came with your Superhitch?

  • Can Curt Rebellion XD Be Used With Reducer Sleeve On 2026 GMC Sierra 2500
    Hey Troy! Yes, you can use the Curt Rebellion XD # C83WR with a reducer sleeve like the # BTBRV64FR. This ball mount weighs 43 lbs so it is quite a bit lighter than the 2-1/2" version. What will you be towing?

  • Weight Distribution Shank for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD
    Hey Dennis! The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37141ET is a great setup and it can be paired with Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4900. Depending on the orientation in which you install it, this shank will give you up to 10" of rise or 6" of drop. The shank is rated for up to 1,600 lbs of tongue weight and 16,000 lbs of towing weight, so you will not lose any of the weight capacity on the # EQ37141ET and it will stay secure in your hitch without needing...

    Hey Martin, welcome back! That reducer sleeve won't but I have one that will. It's the BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # BTBRV64FR. This is the one you'll need for your 14k Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch like item # EQ37140ET. It'll lock that 2" shank in place so you get absolutely zero movement inside your 2-1/2" receiver.

  • Availability of 10k Blue Ox SwayPro With 2-1/2" Shank
    Hey Ronald! Blue Ox only offers the SwayPro with the 2-1/2" shank for the 15k and 20k models. The 15,000 lb system is overrated for your setup, so you will want to stick with the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control for 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # BLU66FR. You can either add the 2-1/2" shank # BXW4028 separately, or use a reducer like # BTBRV64FR for the 2" shank. Personally, I would get the 2-1/2" so the setup is nice and solid. Then you can sell the 2" shank...

  • Does BTBRV Reducer Sleeve Reduce Hitch Capacity on 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Tom, great question! The BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # BTBRV64FR will not reduce the capacity of your factory hitch. As long as you don't exceed the capacity of your hitch you have nothing to worry about. What do you need the reducer for?

  • Can BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve Be Used For Flat Towing
  • Availability of Reducer Sleeve for 2025 Ford F-250 With 3" Factory Hitch
    Hey Bill! Yes, the BTBRV Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 3" to 2-1/2" will work with your Ford factory 3" hitch. We also have the # BTBRV39FR which will allow you to reduce down to a 2-1/2" or 2" hitch without any reduction in your towing capacity. If you just need the 2-1/2" reducer you can always add the # BTBRV64FR at a later time if you end up needing to carry a 2" accessory. What will you be using the reducer sleeve for?

  • Truck Bed Extender for 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Carrying Lumber
    Hey Phil! A truck bed extender like the Flint Hill Goods Truck Bed Extender # FHG89ZR won't break unless you exceed the 350 lb capacity. However, when it comes to rattling it is somewhat unavoidable when you extend anything like this out and away from the single attachment point at the hitch. The best thing you can do is add an anti-rattle to cut down on the extra movement. I'm assuming you have a 2-1/2" factory hitch on your Sierra so you can use the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer...

  • Do I Consider Tongue Weight or Trailer Weight on a Weight Distribution Hitch?
    Hey Jim! With a 12,000-lb trailer and 1,450 lbs of tongue weight, I’d focus on the tongue weight rating while making sure the system is also rated for at least 12,000 lbs of trailer weight. You don’t want a system that’s underrated for your tongue weight, so I’d look for one rated around 1,500 lbs or higher. The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR is a great fit since it handles 600–1,600 lbs of tongue weight and up to 16,000 lbs of trailer weight. It also has built-in sway...
