Length

Note: This adapter is designed to flat tow a vehicle only. Do not use to tow a trailer. When using with a hitch-mounted accessory, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, the tongue weight of your hitch will be reduced by at least 50 percent.


Most tow systems require some sort of hitch accessory to either raise or lower the tow bar to an appropriate level. The "Safe Zone" for a motor-home-mounted tow bar ranges from 3" above level to 3" below. Car-mounted models must be absolutely level. This high-low adapter can provide you with the necessary drop or desired rise to achieve a level tow bar setup.

by:

Excellent product! Needed to raise receiver to keep my Versahaul bike rack from scraping when entering or exiting inclined driveways. Works a treat and a well built solid unit.



by:

As advertised, delivered quickly, very stout and sturdy built out of solid square steel, not tubing. Powder coated for great lasting appearance.

Very satisfied with this purchase.

Haven't used the quiet hitch yet, but it looks to be well made and engineered.



by:

High quality. Only wish the price would have been a little lower.



by:

Very heavy duty. Works great on my motorhome with my Blueox towbar.



by:

Amazing how one small, properly installed item can give you both practical and safe towing. Thanks to etrailer, I got it right the first time.



by:

Perfect for my application. I needed to raise my tow bar connection to my car a couple of inches to help prevent the bar from dragging in low spots. This accomplished that and I very happy with the quality of the receiver extension.



by:

Needed a different drop hitch adapter due to new tow vehicle.
I have ordered many items from etrailer.com in the past, so this
was a natural place to begin my search.
The price was fair and shipping arrived just as stated when I ordered.

Would definitely purchase from etrailer.com again.



by:

Easy shopping, very good price and received it in a timely manner. Exactly what I needed. When I visited a local trailer/hitch company here in KC they had no idea what a drop hitch was. I was floored.

I would do business again with etrailer and would recommend to friends and family.



by:

Wow, delivery was super fast on this 2" drop receiver. I ordered it Sunday night and received it on Wednesday. My roadmaster tow bar was slanting just under 3" so this should do the trick to get it closer to level. My only regret is that I forgot to order a second hitch pin to go with it, and had to run out to the store to buy one. :-)



by:

Good quality... arrived super fast... I got free shipping as I added some safety cables to my order that I needed anyway... The Safety Cables are needed to extend my tow hitch safety cables for the added length of the drop down hitch and a Ready Brake that I use to stop my toad....



by:

I am giving it 2 stars only for the fast service by etrailer. The product alone I'm not happy with. Went to pick up our new RV and our Jeep's tow bar would only go in a 1/3 of the way. Seemed to be more than just paint. We had to force it in to get to the first hole just so I could get the Jeep home. I will be requesting etrailer take this product back.



by:

Roadster makes very high quality products for towing vehicles behind motor homes. This product is used for leveling the motor home hitch to the tow bar from the towed vehicle. Construction, material and finish are excellent. eTrailer delivered this in two days. Excellent delivery and service from eTrailer.



by:

The two inch adapter was used on my wheelchair ramp to lower it for easier transport of the wheelchair on and off the ramp. The assembly itself was met without any problems. The only addition I incorporated was to use some WD-40
on the inner ridges of the adapter to allow sliding the adapter on easier.
I felt etrailer delivered a good product which was easy to use. I am a disabled 64 year old woman who is in great appreciation of your company.



by:

I purchased a Roadmaster rise/drop hitch in order for my motor home to flat tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee more level. I searched the internet for the best prices on several hitch brands. I found the combination of Roadmaster and eTrailer to be very reasonably priced and of excellent quality. This is at least my third purchase of towing components from etrailer, and I have always had timely deliveries and very courteous support. I think I’m at the point of just shopping etrailer in the future, rather than wasting time comparison shopping.



by:

God craftsmanship and solid service from order to delivery.



by:

It did exactly what I needed. Holding up very well.



by:

good product. good service. another e trailer victory



by:

Solved my problem of not enough spare tire clearance on the hitch-mounted storage rack I had bought. Solid construction, easy to use, as are the hitch pins and storage bag.

Everything has worked out fine. Weve used the equipment quite a bit since the fall for our bird hunting trips. Rather than use the straps on the bag I just secure it in the rack with bungee cords. Much faster to load and unload.



by:

Arrived quickly and appears to be excellent quality. I acually needed a 4" lift.



by:

Adapter solved the problem with the tow bar being just a little too high behind our RV. This adapter leveled the tow bar. Vehicle towed fine during recent 78 mile trip.



by:

Item arrived quickly with no problems



by:

I run a motorhome during the summer. I changed towed vehicles from a Truck to a SUV. This Hi/Lo receiver is what I required to ensure a straight tow. I went with the heavier 10K rating. Etrailer may not be the cheapest on the net, however very reliable. The picture shows the finish tow setup. The piece above everything is a motorcycle lift.



by:

Works well on my 2014 Wrangler Unlimited. Yakima Swing Daddy - 4 bike rack.

I am able to open the gate completely until it locks.



by:

Well built and heavy duty.



by:

Always great products and customer service is excellent

  • Hitch Extender for Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch on 2022 Nissan Frontier
    Hi Andrew; when you say hitch plate do you mean like a license plate holder or an actual hitch plate for towing? The etrailer High-Low Fixed Adapter # e85ZV is only rated for flat towing. If you wanted it to hold some kind of bracket for a license plate that wouldn't be an issue. However, without any kind of tongue weight rating I can't recommend using it for a step. The Roadmaster # RM-048-2 has the same measurements and design with a 400 lb tongue weight capacity so that would work....

  • Availability of 8 inch Long 4 inch Drop High Low Adapter
    Hey Paul, we have the Curt High Low Adapter part # C59KR which is 2 inches shorter than the Roadmaster high low adapter as it is 8 inches long from pin to pin. Would this work?

  • How Far From the Hitch Pin Hole to the Edge of the Receiver on the Roadmaster High Low Adapter?
    6-3/4" from the hitch pin hole to the backside of where the 2" receiver starts and 12-1/2" from the pin hole to the outside edge of the 2" receiver. I have linked a diagram below of the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars item # RM-048-2 that will give you a couple other dimensions you may need.

  • Line Pull Capacity Of Curt Front Mount Receiver On a 2015 Ram 2500 With Hitch Extender On Winch
    A 8" # 80307 or 14" # HE12 Hitch Extender will not lower the line pulling capacity for the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31015 on your 2015 Ram 2500. Instead you will be limited to the tow rating of the extender which is going to be 3,500lbs for the 8" and 7,000lbs for the 12". If you use the extenders for a hitch mounted accessory or with a trailer is the only time the maximum capacity will be reduced with an extender.

  • Recommended Hitch Pin Lock for a High-Low Adapter
    I recommend the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch item # e98882. This does not have an anti-rattle feature because the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter item # RM-048-2 has a solid shank design. You need to have the end of the ball mount open for a anti-rattle hitch pin like item # 63232 to work. I recommend the etrailer item # e98882 because you can buy more than one and have them keyed alike. To properly secure whatever you are attaching to the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter item # RM-048-2...

  • Recommended High-Low Adapter for a 2019 Toyota Sienna Using the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier
    The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # M2205 already has a built in rise of 5-1/2" so if you're needing more rise you'll need to use a high-low adapter. Depending on how much more rise you're needing will depend on which adapter you'll need, but if it's just a little bit more height you need, you can use the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches # RM-048-2 which is going to give you 2 more inches of rise. Also to note whenever you use an adapter you're...
