• Which 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter is Strongest for Use with E-Bike Rack
  Hey Pam, so the highest rated 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapters we offer have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like with the part # e43YR for a straight adapter or the part # e93YR for one with a rise built into the shank. You have to keep in mind that when you use an adapter like this you cut the weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent and since most 1-1/4 inch hitches have a 200 lb (sometimes 350 lb) capacity you would be looking at having around a 100 lb capacity for a rack...

• Why is There Only a Class I Trailer Hitch for my 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback?
  Hello Eric. Congrats on the new 2025 Corolla Hatchback! Yes, the only hitch that I see for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 which is a Class I with a 1 1/4" receiver. I checked the previous years and it looks like they only had a Class I as well. When a vehicle only has a class I available, it's because that vehicle is not supposed to be hauling anything heavier. I would check your owners manual to see what Toyota says the vehicle can handle....

• Is There A 1.5" Hitch To 2" Hitch Adapter?
  Hi Dan! I have a couple potentially dumb questions. Are you sure you have a 1.5" hitch receiver? Was that measured at the inside or outside of the hitch opening? And if it is truly 1.5" for the inside of the receiver, what is this hitch on? The standard hitch sizes are 1-1/4", 2", 2-1/2", and in some cases 3", so I am definitely curious. Now to answer your question, you could use something like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 6-1/2" Long # e43YR reducer,...

• Best Hitch For Carrying Heavy E-Bikes On A 2018 Toyota Prius Prime
  Hi Tom! Though the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11473 is significantly less expensive, it isn't the one I am going to recommend in your case. The reason for that is your bikes. Technically, the hitch has 200 pounds of tongue weight (which meets that requirement), but with it being a Class 1 hitch, it only has a 1-1/4" receiver. That means you would need to use an adapter (like the # e43YR). The problem with these is they cut your tongue weight in half,...

• Can I Use Your etrailer Spare Tire Carrier with an Adapter to Take My 1 1/4" Hitch Receiver to a 2"?
  Hello Doug, Congrats on the new Honda CR-V!! What is your new favorite feature? Yes, you can use an adapter like our Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # e43YR with our etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Hitch - 2" Hitch # e98ZR. With any adapter that goes from a 1 1/4" to 2" it will cut your tongue weight in half. You will need to look at the sticker on your hitch to see what the hitch is rated for, then divide that in half. The # e98ZR is around 20.5 pounds, so you will need to...

• Can The e43YR Hitch Adapter Be Used With A Weight Distribution Hitch?
  Hello Sherman, thanks for reaching out. To answer your question, no, the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR cannot be used with a weight distribution (WD) hitch. WD hitches can only be used with 2" hitch receivers that are rated for use with a WD hitch. Your 1-1/4" hitch is not rated for this kind of use. Also, using this kind of adapter effectively decreased your hitches carrying capacity by 50%. Meaning with the adapter in the mix, your hitch would only be able to carry like 100...

• Availability of Hitch With 2" Receiver for 2024 Toyota Camry
  Hi Albert! The only option for your 2024 Camry is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11576. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. Smaller vehicles like the Camry typically only have a Class I option, leaving out the possibility of a 2" receiver. Depending on what you're carrying, you may be able to use an adapter like # e93YR or # e43YR. However, this will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%. What will you be using the hitch for?

• Recommended Single Bike Bike Rack for a 1-1/4" Hitch Receiver
  Thanks for the information Lee. For a bike rack that will fit the 1-1/4" hitch on your 2018 Mazda Miata, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # KU64FR. This bike rack also includes a 2" adapter sleeve if you want to use it on a 2" hitch receiver. The shank has an anti-rattle feature built into it so you won't have to worry about any wiggle or sway inside either size hitch receiver. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # KU64FR is a wheel mount bike rack...

• What is the Shank Part on a Hitch Receiver Cover
  The shank would be the piece that you insert into the hitch receiver. So for a hitch cover like the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover # PC002282R01, there are 2 different shank options you can place the Darth Vader cover piece on so it will fit whether your vehicle has a 1-1/4" or a 2" square receiver. It looks like you were looking for a light up hitch cover so I recommend checking out the Pilot # CR-007 which is a simple square design that fits a 2" receiver and plugs into a...

• Do They Make a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Venue
  The only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Hyundai Venue are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C57CR which is what I recommend. That said, you can convert this to a 2" hitch using an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, using said adapter will reduce the hitch capacity by 50%. Unfortunately, the Hyundai Venue is a subcompact so they don't make the larger hitch size for this as the vehicle can't benefit from...

• Availability of 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter With Anti-Rattle for Bike Rack
  Hey Robert! An anti-rattle hitch pin won't work since none of the adapters will be threaded and, as you already found out, they don't have a hollow shank. What you can use instead is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 along with a locking hitch pin # TS57VR. This combination will allow you to secure it with a lock and cut out the extra play from the adapter and a bike rack. For an adapter you can use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch...

• Is There A Snow Plow That Fits A 1-1/4" Hitch Receiver On A Car ?
  Hey Natalie! The Plowser # PL53YR itself is designed for a 2 inch hitch receiver, but you can still use it with a 1-1/4 inch hitch by adding a hitch adapter such as the # e43YR or the # e93YR if you need to adjust the height since the plow requires hitch height of 11"-19". As long as the final hitch height ends up between 11 inch and 19 inch from the ground, it’ll work just fine. Once the adapter is in place, installation and use are exactly the same - no wiring or extra setup needed....

• 2" Hitch Options for 2022 Kia Soul EV
  Hey Cassidy! For your 2022 Kia Soul EV, there is not a Class III 2" hitch that is confirmed to fit. Instead, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C67FR. This is currently the only hitch custom fit to your Kia Soul EV, but will only fit 1-1/4" bike racks. You would be able to use this rack with a hitch expander like Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 6-1/2" Long # e43YR, but hitch expanders reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50%, so that...

• Recommendation For Carrying a Aventon Level 2 E-Bike Behind a 2013 Scion xB
  I do see your Aventon Level 2 bike has a weight of 54lbs. Since you are using the Curt Receiver # C12490 on your 2013 Scion xB and being a 1-1/4" receiver I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y28DJ as it can support bikes up to 66lbs each and has a ramp for ease loading. Using an Adapter # e43YR with the Rack # HLY66ZR not only moves it further back causing more of a lever effect on the weight but do remember the extra length is also going to have an effect on the departure angle which means...

• Is There a Way to Haul My 153 Pound Scooter With My Curt Hitch Class 1 with 1 1/4" Receiver?
  Hello Darrell. I see that you did this question on the # C13315 page, that hitch is for the 2013 - 2025 Mazda CX-5 and is a class 3. The correct hitch for the 2018 Toyota Camry is the # C11576, this hitch has a tongue weight of 200, and towing of 2,000 as it is a class 1 which is why it has the 1 1/4 receiver. By using an adapter like # e43YR it will cut your tongue weight in half taking it down to 100 pound tongue weight. We do have another option that might work, a cargo carrier that...

• Can 2020 Mazda CX-3 Carry Mobility Scooter Using 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter and Cargo Carrier
  Hello again Chuck; if you want to carry that mobility scooter on your hitch you will need to find a cargo carrier that fits a 1-1/4" receiver without an adapter. We don't have any with a ramp but there may be some out there that will work. If you use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR, or anything else like it, you will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. I'm sure you have a hitch like the Curt # C11418 with a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Cut it in half and you can't...

• Will the Saris SuperClamp HD Work With a 2023 Honda Ridgeline
  Ray, it depends on what hitch you have on your Honda. If you have a 2" hitch then both the Saris SuperClamp HD Bike Rack # SAR44VR and the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4025F will work fine. But if you have a 1 1/4" hitch then you'd need to use an expander # e43YR to be able to use the SuperClamp HD.

• Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
  I do have an option for you but there are not any class III, 2" trailer hitches for a 2016 Honda Civic. There are only class 1, 1-1/4" options like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # e43YR or part # e93YR but just keep in mind, they reduce capacity so you're now limited to 100 lbs for the bikes and rack.

I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 as it sits under the bumper for an easy install. If you must have a 2" trailer hitch then you can use an expander with the above like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but keep...

  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 class II receiver is our only custom fit receiver for your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. There are a couple ways you can get to a 2" opening receiver. First would be to use an Adapter # e43YR but this will lower your towing capacity and tongue weight by 50%. Second would be to use a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This may require some customizing on your Buick as it is a universal style receiver. Finally you can take the Receiver #...

• Compatibility Of 1-1/4 to 2 Hitch Adapter On a 2021 Volvo XC60 With Class I Receiver
  I do have a recommendation for you as it sounds like you have a class I receiver with a stop on your 2021 Volvo XC60. The stop prevents class II accessories like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR from being used. It has a measurement of 2" from the receiver pin center hole to the end of the receiver tube. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is 1/2" shorter from the receiver pin hole to the end of the shank at 1-1/2". You could also consider installing a Curt Trailer Hitch...
