Ratings & Reviews
Great hitch extender at a decent price.
It looks great, but my excellent review is because of the service I received from Amy. She went above and beyond. etrailer is great because of service like that, and of course good parts.
Can't mount the bike rack without it. Works well and is easy to use.
Very High quality product, as has been everything else that I have purchased from E Trailer. Purchased to allow me to open the tailgate on my Wrangler with a carrier installed. I will try to post pictures as soon as I use it.
This device works just as intended and described. Plus, the shipping and service was excellent.
Ordered this to fit with an eTrailer hitch for my Rav4. This was recommended as the correct extender by live chat support. Does not fit. Will not line up for the bolt to engage threads in the receiver. Also the lock is very wiggly and does not hold the extender firmly in the receiver. Super disappointed.
Works well ...love etrailer
I ordered a trailer hitch extension and it got lost in shipping. The folks at Etrailer immediately took care of me and shipped another one that I received 3 days later. Thank you everyone for your help!
Delivery took nearly two weeks and it did not arrive before my trip, so I had to source one locally. Will be returning.
Using this extension on my Polaris. Now able to hook up the trailer without having to reach under the vehicle. Made it easier
This hitch extender is very heavy duty, fits well, and appears to have a durable finish on it.
The SHIPPING WAS HORRIBLE. The box was torn completely open on one end and there was nothing to keep the hitch extender from falling out of the box. Luckily there were no other parts in the box or they would be gone.
Quick and easy
This is going work great for my bike rack. I needed to move my rack further out on my rv.
good product and good service. UPS failed on their end and etrailer made the very quick correction.
Wonderfully strong piece of equipment - super high quality. Will do the job to clear my truck tailgate from my boat trailer steps perfectly.
Product excellent,Although USPS SUCKS!
Received empty box
Etrailer is a pleasure to deal with. Found exactly what I needed as far as this extension hitch receiver. It’s a solid product and works perfectly!
Exactly what I needed. Very heavy duty even though it will be used as a bike rack extension on a RV for spare tire clearance.
worked like a charm for my bike rack on the jeep
I ended up not needing this device. Karen was so helpful in the order process. She deserves a raise. I really need to send the extension and pin back for credit as I don’t need those. I sure could use your help.
Built solid. All the existing 2” hitches I have will fit, which is better than the one I got from TS. None would go in deep enough for the hitch pin holes to match up.
I would definitely give these items and more importantly your sales and service. 5 stars
My new F150 has a taller tailgate and the hitch receiver is farther under the bumper than my old ‘06 F250. It is also a little higher off the ground.
One picture shows how the tailgate hits tongue Jack on my utility trailer.
The ball was 8” from the receiver. The extension and new 4” drop ball mount move the ball to 14”.
So now the tailgate can open completely. Of course I needed to lengthen the chains and wiring pigtail. The trailer is only rated for 2900 lbs so it won’t exceed the decrease in load rating.
Very well made. Need this to extend past large spare tire holder on the back of my jeep tj so it would accommodate an electric two bike carrier. It worked perfectly and provides the room needed to carry bikes with the spare tire on the Jeep.
Perfect for extending the hitch receiver from underneath the dump box on the back of my Kawasaki Mule SX. Been working great for me.

I had the parts taken from our warehouse and tested together. You hit the nail on the head as the inside measurement from the center of the pin hole to the solid back is 3.75 inches, which is not quite long enough for the On Ramp Yakima bike rack shank. I also tested the shank with adapter part # C45791 and it worked perfectly. I will have Customer Service reach out to you for the best option to have extender part # e88YR returned. As for the wiggly lock, I recommend also including an anti rattle device such as part # RM-061 or part # GY88XR. They would help to hold the extender tighter to the hitch opening which helps to minimize movement.
