Today we'll be reviewing part number 38735. This is the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter, a 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve. This reduced the 3" opening on the Super Titan hitch down to a standard 2" opening, making this an ideal adapter to haul those 2" by 2" accessories that you have, whether it's a bike rack or a hitch mounted cargo carrier. This is going to measure 9-5/8" in overall length. It's going measure 3-1/4" tall by 3-1/4" in width. Due to the shorter extension, it does retain tongue weight capacity. This gives us a gross towing weight of 12,000 pounds, with a maximum tongue weight of 1,200 pounds.
It has a nice black powder coat finish, so it is going to stand up well against rust and corrosion. You can see the different size pin holes that we have. There's actually 3. There's not pins or clips that are included with this, so you can refer to this product's product page to view those products. This portion here is the portion that slides into the receiver tube of your hitch on your vehicle. Then your 2" by 2" accessory would slide into this portion here.
Line up your pin holes, and this will accommodate a 5/8" pin, as well as a 1/2" pin, because of the 2 different size pin holes. That's going to complete today's review of part number 38735. This is the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter, a 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve. .
appears to be strong, the welds are clean and solid. Fits my receiver well, and does what I wanted it to do. Can't say more than that
This is a nice fit in the 3" receiver and the right amount of extension. I am finally able to fully open the tailgate while attached to my camper. I am a little concerned it might be too much extension for the safety chains and 7 pin electrical wiring harness. A through test drive is needed
Product is great, timely shipping and William provided great customer service.
I ordered this 3 inch to 2 inch hitch reducer because I had purchased a new RV and the receiver on the new RV is a 3 inch hitch. My previous RV hitch size was 2 inch. I needed a 2 inch receiver because I am re-using my Blue Ox tow bar which has a 2 inch hitch. Fit perfectly. See pictures.
This does NOT fit '17 Ford F350 built Jan '17. My F350 6.7l has a 3" receiver with a 5/8" hitch pin. This adapter has a 3/4" hitch pin hole. If indeed 3" receiver standard is 3/4" pin, then Ford messed up. Otherwise Reese is at fault.

The Reese # 38735 isnt compatible with the Ford 3 OEM receiver hitch due to the hitch pin hole discrepancy you mentioned. It is a fit for the Reese SuperTitan aftermarket 3 receiver hitch as mentioned in our product description. Reese is working on an application that will be compatible, it should be available soon.
I have purchased items through Etrailer and have always had good service and found their selection to be excellent. In this case they were the only company that I found that stocked this adaptor.
The first adaptor they sent would not fit the hitch receiver. The hitch receiver opening on my Super Titan 3 inch hitch is exactly that, 3 inch. The hitch adaptor outside dimension was 3 & 1/16th inch.
Etrailer sent a replacement hitch adaptor without any hesitation or question. Thank you etrailer for having good customer service. That is what brings customers back.
Unfortunately the second adaptor would not fit. Its outside dimensions were exactly 3 inch. I do not know the tolerances on the Super Titan 3 inch so it may be on the negative side as well. Rather than trying to establish what the dimensions of both the hitch socket, adaptor and fit clearance should be and having no alternative supplier, I took a grinder to the adaptor and fitted it to the hitch. Not much grinding was required and the resultant change in dimensions does not degrade the suitability of the adaptor for the intended use.
The adaptor fit the hitch receiver nicely but the hitch pin would not fit. I looked at the hitch adaptor and found that the hitch pin holes in the 3 inch tube and the smaller tube that is welded inside it to create the adaptor must have been drilled before the two pieces were welded together. The holes were offset when they were welded together. That had to be corrected without overbearing the fit which was possible but a pain. Thankfully I have access to the tools needed to accomplish this but do not believe that most people would.
At this point I will say that I have a number of Reese products and never had a problem with anything other than this adaptor.
In summary, etrailer has items that I could not find elsewhere and great customer service. Reese needs to review the design of this adaptor and improve the quality. If etrailer had another adaptor supplier I would have returned the second item and purchased it. Unfortunately it appears the Reese is the only game in town unless you have the adaptor fabricated yourself.
I suggest that etrailer discontinue sale of this item pending Reese verifying they have corrected the design and improve the quality of the product.
We use this in the 20,000# receiver on our super C motorhome to mount a Roadmaster Falcon tow bar for our Jeep It works very well and have had no problems with it. I also mount a standard drop mount ball to pull a cargo trailer on occasion. I would definitely recommend it for these uses.
Purchased this item to use on my Ford F350 with an 3" hitch. I needed an adapter to convert the hitch size to 2" so I could install my bike rack on the hitch. This item is still working wonderfully.
When I attempted to put the locking pin into the receiver it would not fully go through both sides of the receiver. I found one side of the welded inner sleeve was not aligned with the outer receiver and the outer receiver also had a metal lip. I was able to grind both pieces and the locking pin fit snugly and fully engaged the receiver. Apparently, the piece was not fully checked with a pin after the welding.
Looked all over for this adapter. Just bought a 2017 Ford F-250 with a 3" hitch. All my inserts are 2" and Ford doesn't supply the adapters anymore.
The weatherTech mud flaps are another issue. The trim piece on the fender well won't allow the mud flaps to be installed.
This is a great reducer for the new 2017 Ford F250/350 trucks. The factory model has a loose and sloppy fit. The Reese reducers is a much more heavy duty model with a snug fit. I would highly recommend it if you want to use a 2 inch hitch on your new Ford.
This piece is exactly what I needed to make my Blue Ox tow bar work with 3" receiver on my Renegade Verona Super C RV. It also adds the extra 3-4 inches of clearance so that the two bar does not hit the RV when folded into the storage position.
Three days after I ordered the hitches they showed up at my door. We bought a new F-350 and needed some new hitch assemblies for the 3" receiver. Everything was well packaged and so well made we figure these hitches will last a lifetime and then some. The height adjustable Pintle Hitch is stronger than the truck and and the stout B&W Tow & Stow three ball is an excellent design. No disappointments here. etrailer is a one stop shop for our towing and trailer needs.
Good build quality. We use it to adapt our 2 inch hitch bike carrier to a 3 inch receiver on an f350
We got it to work, but the 3/4” hole was off a bit so it had to be grinded to fit. Couldn’t get the locking pin to fit. Had to use one from a farm supply shop with a big red handle. But in the end all is good.
Working with company ordering was great they even upgraded my shipping free of charge that only thing is the item is not going to work for me so I will have to return it but definitely would order from the company again
Was able to bundle together several towing system components to ensure I had a complete and integrated system, thanks etrailer for making it easy snd fast!
Good service and prompt delivery. Item's fastening pin did not quite fit the holes in the receiver; but easily resolved with only a small amount of filing to make the parts align properly. Perhaps 1/64" offset. Could be either this product or the coach's received. Representative was very helpful in product selection.
Hello, I really liked dealing with your company, ordering was quick and concise and all of your products fully explained. My order came quickly and was easily tracked and all was intact and as advertised. I appreciate all of this and I have more projects in the near future and will not hesitate to order more items from you. Thank you.
Got what I ordered in a timely manner. Still need a few things but hesitate because of shipping cost. Company does reguire $100+ for free shipping. Reduced would be nice.
Quality product, fits really well, good price & great delivery
allows us to use the 3 inch receiver on our Motor home to use our 2 inch tow bar to tow our vehicle.
Very happy with etrailer.
I looked at all outlets in my town and could not find this, even camping world. I ordered this from etraler and had it in 2 days, I should have done that in the first place. In the future I will start at etrailer.com first for all my RV needs.
Fast service. George J was able to ship faster for the same price and living in Alaska we appreciate the cost of shipping. The product also was exactly as shown in the photos. Thank you
The product deliver was delayed, but etrailer did a great job of keeping me informed on status.
Excellent on time shipping thanks again know I need the curt 24 5th wheel and rail system for f350 2017 8 foot bed
