Brad Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Curt Reducer Sleeve that's gonna take our receiver tube opening from a two and a half in to a two inch. So, if you have that two inch ball mount and you've upgraded to a heavier dutier truck and or maybe you just have a couple trucks in your fleet no worries. You're not going go have to buy a whole separate ball mount. You can go ahead, put that sleeve in place and be able to put your two inch ball, no problem. I really like that I can from my pickup with a two inch receiver to my diesel with a two and a half inch without having to get any additional equipment. Now it also has two notches on here which makes it nice and easy.
That way when you slide this in you can't push it too far. It's not gonna get stuck in there, you're always gonna have a little edge here to be able to pull that out if you do need to go back to that two and a half. Now what's also nice is you're not gonna need a special pin and clip. You'll just be able to slide this through. You'll align your holes and then your normal pin and clip will go through, holding that all in place.
Now you can see that our ball mount has seen better days as it's starting to rust but the great part about this being steel construction with that black powder coat finish, that's gonna hold up against that rust and corrosion so you're not gonna see that transferring over for a long time. And that was a look at the Curt Reducer Sleeve, going from a two and a half inch to a two inch..

this was just the ticket for my new truck. My hitch didn't match the receiver any more so this was perfect. Though the pin that I ordered to go along with it was only just big enough to secure the hitch. I would recommend a longer pin for the 2 1/2" receiver, as it is, I will likely just leave my hitch attached.
Fits perfectly in my 2.5 inch F-350 receiver. Minimal movement with a solid feel to ensure my Airstream 2 inch Equalizer hitch set-up can perform as designed.
Product arrived in a damaged box and had some scratches in various places. Packaging could have probably been more robust.
Other than that, the installation was quick and straightforward. Unless you regularly bench about 100 pounds, you'll need some assistance. Have yet to tow with it, but it should work just fine. Much better than the stock hitch that failed which prompted the replacement. 03 GMC Sierra 3500 CC Long bed, Dually, 6.6L.
etrailer.com has become my favorite shopping website when I need something for my truck or travel trailer. I now check etrailer BEFORE amazon. They always have what I'm looking for at a great price and the delivery times are really not too bad. I'm spoiled by 2 day shipping but I've come to appreciate the quality of the products here. Having an RV specific website makes finding just the right part a lot easier. Oh and the adapter for the hitch receiver on my 2020 Ford F-250 fits perfectly. I was afraid the spare tire was so close to the back of the receiver that the shank might be too long, but nope, it's perfect.
Not a precise fit. The adapter does allow some additional movement between hitch and the receiver. I recommend using the same size hitch and receiver whenever possible and skipping the adapter.
Product arrived just as described and works great with my Silverado 2500HD since my hitches and bike rack are all for a 2" receiver.
This sleeve adaptor is perfect. My kids bought me a 2" NFL hitch cover for Christmas, even though my hitch receiver was 2-1/2" I figured I could always use a smaller receiver adaptor for another trailer that I have. Wouldn't have bought it otherwise, but it is a good fit and I may be able to use it for towing in the future (and my "gifted" hitch cover is installed).
Fit the 2 1/2 inch receiver on my 2023 GMC 2500HD. I would have liked a larger lip on the outside.
Does what is supposed to do. Seems solid and have had no issues. Use it to pull trailers ranging from 3,500lb to 10,000lb. Have not noticed any slop or movement beyond what I had with the stock 2" receiver. The only thing that is not great is that when pushed in all the way to the stop tabs the pin hole is past the pin hole of my receiver so you have to line up three sets of holes rather than just two.
Love it, It fits perfectly. I use it every time I tow my travel trailer.
Not much to say. It's a hitch sleeve. Does what you would expect. I do like the little nubs on the end that keep the sleeve from sliding into the hitch too far.
So far so good. Got this due to our new f250 having the big hitch. Feels solid & time will tell when we hauls a 26ft trailer with it.

Working great. However due to trailer & a new f250 we had to get a whole new assembly. Oh well for the short amount of time we used it, it worked great. Price was great too.
I really like the magnets. The design allows it to stay in the hitch even when nothing else in there. The lip keeps the sleeve from slipping into the receiver like most other hitch reducers. The product works as advertised and fits into the hitch nicely.
High quality part! It was exactly what I needed. This is pretty easy to use with the only challenge being lining up the holes with the receiver and the hitch. Still pretty easy.
My recommendation for this product would be to make it longer to distribute the load along the entire length of inside hitch receiver. Also to get rid of the tabs on the front because I had to cut them off to be able to slide my hitch in far enough to line up the pin holes.

Dont use it. Worthless as far as Im concerned.
great reducer sleeve to allow your old 2" inserts to be used
Fits like a glove
Had exactly what I wanted in a hitch and the adapter. Fast delivery. Highly recommend
Excellent product, very sturdy. We have been using them on our trailers for years.
If I was going to keep the current hitch, I would chose a reducer with a separate set of holes to keep it in the 2½" receiver. This is essentially merely a "liner" and is removed every time my trailer hitch or bike rack is removed.
This hitch worked well on my Kona electric. Etrailer provides outstanding service. Will definitely purchase from this quality company again.

Great Hitch. Pull my boats dinghy with it and lots of hardware supplies. Still looks new after a Maine winter.
Nothing wrong with it, was trying to find one that was tighter than the one that came with my truck.
It does the job. For some reason the OEM did not provide one with their new unit and this one works. It is a simple sleeve so there is not much else to say about it.
Sliped this adapter right in my Class V Hitch works great. I'm using it with A Curtis adj hitch and locking pins. I'm towing a 24ft 10k cargo trailer with it.
Fits perfectly and shipping was quick.
