    • Also lets you mount a bike rack, cargo carrier, or other 2" hitch accessory

Specs:

  • Application: 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers
  • Drop/rise: 4"
  • Receiver: 2" x 2"
  • Tongue weight: 400 lbs
  • Gross towing weight: 10,000 lbs
  • Length: 14-5/8" overall
    • 9-5/8" From center of hitch pin hole to center of hitch pin hole
    • 4-1/2" From center of hitch pin hole to angled bracket
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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.

Risers hitch for flat towing worked out beautifully! Thankyou!
by:
We purchased a new step and a lift in my tow bars. In both purchases the delivery was prompt and the items are excellent. My wife says call etrailer when I need a part. Thank you.
by:
This part made the Motorhome and tow vehicle within 1/2 inch being level which made it easier to connect and disconnect.
by:
Better than I had hoped! I have a front end hitch on my pickup truck for a homeowner plow to do my driveway. My new truck is about 6 inches higher than my old truck. This is a nice solid bar adapter that drops my plow back down into line perfectly! I have bought several things from etrailer. Always top quality & always cheaper than their competition!
by:
Rows my boat great! Does exactly what it was designed to do!
by:
Great product for price. The u bolt system seems to b perfect as it took all slack out of receiver and drop hitch. The staff at e trailer go beyond expectations for customer service and provides excellent information on needed products. My complete tow pkg came from etrailer. I have bought from them in past and probably won't waste my time shopping for better price as these people are the "bomb". Hope this product works well as I just intstalled and will report after next trip. Luv etrailer. (:
by:
The delivery time was great. The hitch drop was just what I needed.
by:
The hitch adapter was exactly as described and is going to work perfectly. Ordering on the website was easy and shipping was as promised. I didn't really consider the extension aspect, but that will also work well for me. I know I don't have my safety cables hooked up correctly in the photo (they should cross under the hitch) but I was just trying it on for size.
by:
With the bullet proof rattle-less pins I forget I was towing. And the service from William at Etrailer was just great. It was a perfect fit.
by:
Ric took good care of my return and replacement
by:
Worked as it should and kept our tow bar level. 4000 miles no issues.
by:
Fits perfectly on my Subaru.
by:
Definitely good quality products and superfast deliveries. This is one company that really cares about the customers. I would recommend etrailer to everyone. I've got my 2017 Tacoma all ready to plow thanks to etrailer.
Thank You to all the people who work for etrailer...... Great job!
by:
Everything installed without any issues. I'm very particular so it took 2 days to complete everything. I'm sure a pro could do it much faster. Have towed the 4" lifted (and loaded) Jeep accross the Rockies about 6 times and everything is working perfectly!! Very happy camper!!
by:
Great experience buying from etrailer received order in a timely manner.
by:
that hole in the solid bar is too far to the back by 4-6". i'm going to a metal fabricator tomorrow to see if he can drill it where it should be. as is, the receiver opening will be extended way to far out from the truck hitch.

Tommy, Thank you for your review. We do have high low adapters that measure shorter center of hitch pin hole to center of hitch pin hole. The high low adapter you purchased part RM-048-4 measures 9-5/8. I am assuming you need a 4 inch rise to be level. Part # RM-048-4 by Roadmaster is 6-1/2 pin hole to pin hole. This part allows for up to 500 lbs in tongue weight. I have looked at the other options and this is the shortest measurement on a high low adapter with the rise and capacity you need. We do not recommend drilling a hole in the part because it can negatively affect the structural integrity of the part, causing safety issues in the future. I have attached a link for the Roadmaster part below.

I took your advice and didnt drill the hitch, so nothing has changed in my review.

by:
I had bent one leg of the towbar. I called Roadmaster to understand why for a second time. They explained that I was out of tolerance level. I was about to order when they reflected that etrailer would sell it cheaper and get it to me faster. Etrailer knew exactly what I wanted and did sell it less expensive and got it to me within a couple of days. They also had the correct hitch extension and height adjustment that I needed to correct the root cause. 20000 miles and no reoccurance. No impact to my Motor Home trip.
by:
Always go with etrailer. Fast shipping and know exactly what
I need. Trustworthy!
by:
Looks like a great well made product. I'm sure it will meet my needs.
by:
The product arrived two days after I ordered it. I ordered an additional hitch pin and an anti-rattle clamp to go with it, and they were both there too. Everything fit, and worked just as advertised. No real surprises there, but always good when even simple things work out as they should. My main reason for writing a review is to draw attention to the number of folks that I see cruising the highways without a hitch drop like this to align their tow bar setup properly. This part wasn't expensive or difficult to find or install. Kudos to etrailer for making it easy.
by:
This hitch adapter worked as intended aligning the tow bar with the rv hitch! Etrailer is the best!
by:
Fast shipping and exactly what I needed for towing F-150 with Etrailer recommendeded Roadmaster Blackhawk2 towing setup. Feel much better with Roadmaster 10k rating (matching the towbar) rather than lower rated locally available adapters.
by:
I have been setting up my 2017 Fiat for towing with my mhome. All parts were on time and worked perfectly. Greg & Reesa was very helpful and knew exactly what I would need to get the job done. Etrailer has my business from now on . The patriot 2 brake system works excellent and that was my biggest concern. Glad I called on etrailer and will again in the future, they have it going on!
by:
Worked as needed!
by:
Just what I needed to get the right angle to flat tow my Envoy. Etrailer service is the best and always my "go to" vendor!!!
