• Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter be Used to Flat Tow & Carry Bikes/Kayaks
  Hi Jack, The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM23SR was designed to do exactly what mentioned - flat tow while also using a rack or cargo carrier of some kind. That said, it's important to note the # RM23SR has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. That isn't an issue with flat towing, as there is very little tongue weight (mostly the weight of the tow bar) due to the vehicle supporting itself on all four wheels, but your loaded kayak and bike carrier need to be under the tongue...

• How to Lock the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler to Deter Theft
  Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out! The Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler for 2" Receivers # AR44FR is a great way to add some versatility in where your trailer can be towed, but since everything can move around it does present some challenges when we're looking for coupler locks. The best option for keeping your trailer (and the Ark coupler) from walking off is for you to use the Stainless Steel Coupler Lock # e98882 to secure the Ark to your trailer, and then the BulletProof Hitches Extreme...

• What All Do I Need To Flat Tow A 2023 Ford Maverick?
  Congrats on the new car. I can definitely help set you up with everything you need. Lets start with the base plate and work our way from there. For the 2023 Maverick I recommend using the Roadmaster direct connect # RM97RR. Roadmaster make a great quality base plate, and the twist lock removable arms are a nice feature. That way you do not have metal pieces protruding from the front of the car when not in use. This base plate also has pre welded safety chain hooks, and a mounting location...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle for Curt Cargo Carrier
  Hey Oren! For an anti-rattle to pair with the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 I recommend our own etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV. This can remain on the receiver so you don't have to install it every time you're using the cargo carrier. I also recommend adding a locking hitch pin like # e98882 to keep it secure. I'm not sure what the Thule offset is that you're referencing. If it was any kind of adapter, that would reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% which would likely hinder...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Ram 1500
  For the New Body Style of the 2019 Ram 1500, I recommend the Curt # C15005 which will fit whether you have the factory hitch or the Class III tow bumper. This is a strong Class V trailer hitch which exceeds the max towing rating of your Ram 1500. Even though this is the case it is worth noting that this will not increase the weight rating of your pickup so that will be the limiting factor. You should already have a 7-Way on your Ram, but you may consider swapping out your current connection...

• Availability of Quick Release Hitch Pin for 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier
  Hey Neal! You can use the standard 5/8" Hitch Pin and Clip # e47RV for quicker installation and removal, or the Locking Hitch Pin # e98882 if you want to keep the carrier secured to the vehicle. Either way, you will lose the built-in anti-rattle from the threaded pin that comes with the # e98874. To make up for that, I recommend adding the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV to keep the carrier from moving around in the receiver. The collar stays installed on the hitch, so you can...

• Spare Tire Mount and 2 Bike E-Bike Rack for Class C RV
  Hey Tim! It sounds like you need the Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount with 2" Receiver Opening # RM-195225. This fits 16" - 24-1/2" wheels and accepts all bolt patterns. Since it has its own 2" receiver, you can still mount a bike rack on the back of your RV. For a bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. This is rated for motorhome use and has a capacity of 80 lbs per bike. It uses padded clamps so it works with any frame style like a step through which is pretty...

• How to Lock the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler part # AR44FR?
  Hi Joerg, If you're wanting to lock the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler part # AR44FR, you can use the etrailer Stainless Steel Hitch Lock part # e98882 to secure the Ark to your trailer and the BulletProof Hitches Extreme Duty Coupler Lock part # BRPH96VR to lock the trailer coupler when the trailer is disconnected. However, Ark has said they don't recommend using a lock with the articulating coupler when connected to the tow vehicle because any lock would prevent the head from moving...

• Trailer Hitch Lock and Ratchet Straps for Securing a Boat Trailer and RZR 800
  Hi Sandra, absolutely, we can help with both. For securing something in a 2 inch receiver, I’d go with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98882. It has a stainless steel pin and lock housing for good corrosion resistance, which I especially like around a boat, and the covered key slot helps keep water and grime out. One thing I do want to clarify, though, is that this lock secures a ball mount or other accessory inside the receiver. If you’re wanting to prevent someone from...

• Looking for Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch Locks with 5/8" and 1/2" pins
  Thanks for reaching out John, I'd actually recommend going with our etrailer keyed alike locks instead of the Master Lock # 2866DAT . The Master Lock isn't available as a keyed alike option. There's no way for us to guarantee that two separate locks would come with the same key. Our etrailer keyed alike locks are the better fit since your goal is to have both locks work with a single key. The etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879 has a 1/2" diameter for the 1-1/4" receiver and # e98882...

• Replacement Rubber Straps For The Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle Bike Rack
  I called my contact at Yakima and they informed me that they currently do not make nor stock replacement parts for the Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle anymore. However, I suggest trying the Replacement Rubber Straps for Yakima BedRoc and Older Big Horn Models part # Y8820103 as these are very similar to your current support straps and according to the Yakima representative, should work for you. I would also agree with this statement as they do look very similar though, but since they have...

  For your 2018 VW Atlas, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 will be about 1-1/2 inches recessed behind your bumper and will drop 8.44 inches from the mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contact at Curt.

• 2022 Toyota Highlander Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Thule Bike Rack with 1-1/4" Shank

I see you've ordered the Curt Hitch # C45CR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander along with the Adapter # e58YR and Anti-Rattle # e99007 - these will work great for your setup! Just note that you'll need an additional hitch pin for the adapter, so if you don't have one, I recommend picking up the etrailer Coupler Lock # e98882 so everything is locked as well. Just wanted to note one thing; Thule doesn't like it when non-Thule adapters are used for their...
