Exactly what I needed to extend my hitch on the Tundra so I can attach my cargo racks and bike rack. 100% accurate description and the video demo made it crystal clear what I was getting. From order to delivery in less than 7 days. Great stuff.

Works as intended, gives me enough clearance when turning so no issues with interference.

Bought this extension for use on my front Curt receiver hitch on my 2010 Ford Raptor (hitch is under the bumper). I looked at a few extensions in person before settling on this one. I figured if I really needed to use it with my winch, I didn't want to skimp on the extension. Recently I did have to use my winch and am glad I bought this unit. This extension is extremely heavy duty and worth the money if you need a heavy duty extension.

Still working fine.

The product is exactly as advertised; high quality and well constructed. More importantly was etrailer's service. My order was lost during delivery by the delivery service and etrailer shipped a replacement right away. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and they always follow up and thank you for your business. That means a lot. Thank you etrailer for your good customer service.

I flat tow my Wranglar behind my Coachman Freelander. This extension hitch works perfect to extend the Motorhome hitch out from under the bumper. I’ve used it many times. Thanks etrailer.

by: Mark C. 02/19/2018

This receiver extension is perfect for my need. Recently purchased new E-Bikes and new bike rack. My installation excitement fell when the rack contacted the spare tire of our Jeep while raising to folded position and couldn't latch.
Found the right size and placed the order. "George" responded quickly to say the order was shipping that day! Then it was delivered one full day earlier than promised.
Extremely happy with the fit and quality and the Anti Rattle pin is great.
Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Mark C. I did want to let you know that using hitch extenders like this one will reduce the hitchs overall capacity by 50 percent. This is something to keep in mind especially considering your new e-bike. Please make sure that the hitch, bike rack and all other components are not exceeding the reduced tongue weight when using the hitch extender.

by: George W 02/01/2018

I have a 60" x 20" x 20" cargo basket carrier that I'm intending on using on my Class B+ Motor Home. With the 2" hitch on the coach is slightly recessed, this makes the basket carrier is too close that I'm unable to open it up. This extender will be the fix.
Impressed with the construction of this. The half that slides into existing 2" hitch is solid square stock (not tube steel)... Heavy Duty!
Was also very pleased with etrailers customer service / shipping. They upgraded me from standard to 2 day priority.
Thanks etrailer (and George D)

George,Thank you for your review.Just a reminder that hitch extenders such as part # RM-071-1075 do cut your tongue weight capacity by 50. That is including the weight of the carrier itself. I have attached a link for information on extenders and adapters.

very very well built and a rugged design. works great.

Really heavy duty. The anti rattle portion fits and secures it tightly. Using it to extend a front hitch receiver on my 2013 F150 to hold my Warn multi-mount winch.

Be aware that using a hitch extender will lower the vertical load and line pull capacity by half.

by: Jeff 05/09/2025

Excellent product. The extension is doing what I expected. With the 10,000lb rating I have no question that this product was designed with functionality and quality. Great product.

by: KC 01/27/2019

Pros:
Works great for side-to-side stabilization. If you want more security the hole in the bolt is large enough to put a small lock thru.

For up/down stabilization I added the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch and now all directions are very stable.

Cons:
Corner fillets in the receiver section are larger than other extenders or receivers so it may be a tighter fit than you are expecting.

by: Deborah 09/01/2021 One Year Later

Perfect for us to extend from a very far back hitch on our LTV. This was very sturdy and allowed us to use our Swagman bike rack. The customer service was awesome. We didn’t know we were going to need before a very big trip and etrailer rushed it to us. Can’t say enough about their staff. Very pleased.

by: KENNETH 12/05/2020 One Year Later

The hitch extender works perfectly. I use it on a Jeep Wrangler to extend a vertical kayak carrier past the spare tire on the back of the Jeep. The extender’s bolt tightens securely so there is no swaying or rattling. Excellent product.

Strong and durable, would highly recommend

by: Larry 03/27/2017

The extender seems well built and should not have any problems pulling my trailer. I had two hitches to put in it. One did not fit because of the way it was designed. It had a slanted end that cause it to be a half inch to long to let the holes line up. The second one worked just perfectly.

by: Jim N. 08/11/2017

We recently purchased a Road Master Spare Tire Carrier for our motorhome and found that it was just a couple inches too close to the rear hatch to allow us to open it to check fluids. Fount this item online and searched for a good deal with speedy delivery. eTrailer came through for us. Installation was very easy just as long as you have the right size tools. The item itself is very well made and matches the rest of the Road Master products. If you are looking to extend a hitch, you need to make sure your extension is as strong as the main hitch, you do not want to reduce your load capacity by using an under-sized extension. I can recommend both eTrailer and Road Master for this product without reservations.

by: Paul Laureano 06/01/2018

This is not my first order with you. I am always pleased by your service. My Hitch Extension was here in 3 days. My RV weighs 6000 lbs. I was concerned that it would be flimsy and crack under towing conditions. This extension is solid steel. when I felt the weight, it was very heavy., I checked to see if it was hollow, it was not. I feel confident that it can handle my RV and even more. the quality is excellent. Extremely Heavy Duty. Thank you and I am very happy with my order.

by: Jay 02/13/2018

Very good quality and finish to product except for the install. Retainer bolt threaded into extension fine and pulls it towards the left side of the coach receiver, but there was a slight mismatch in the holes on the right side causing the threads on the bolt to round over.
I'm not going to remove the extension and it is torqued in fine, but if I ever had to it would ruin the threads inside the extension.

by: MoreyNJ 06/07/2019

etrailer had just what I needed. I recently purchased a bike rack for our new electric bikes, but discovered that the handlebar on the "inner" bike hits the back side of our motorhome. I was looking for a non rattle hitch extension, and found it at etrailer.

This is one serious piece of steel!

by: Thomas 04/06/2018

Works great for my Thule bike rack. Provides a solid and stable extension that allows me to open the back hatch with two bikes on the rack. Exceptionally fast service, great company to work with.

The extender works great. I am using it on my front receiver so that my winch would fit properly. The extender has performed well with the use of my winch.

by: Randy J 01/10/2017

Excellent so far. The product arrived on time and well packaged. The extender will be used with a hitch carrier (purchased from etrailer) that was modified to carry a large lifetime patio box on the rear of a camper van. The extender will allow the rear doors to open for outside access. Thanks etrailer for the excellent service as always.

The extender itself does indeed have a 10K capacity, however be aware that using an extender will lower the towing and tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half.

Do you have a question about this Hitch Adapter?

Roadmaster Hitch Extender Clearance for Flat Towing with Bike Rack
Hi Steven, Based on your setup, the Roadmaster Anti Rattle Hitch Extender part # RM-071-1075 could potentially give you the additional clearance you need between the bike rack and tow bars, but I want to make sure we get this right before recommending it. Since you are already using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM83SR, adding the extender would create another leverage point in the system and would reduce the tongue weight capacity of the setup by half. The dual receiver...

Can Hitch Extender be Used with RV if Ratchet Strap Braces Carrier
Hey Ken, are you saying that you'd use a ratchet strap to support the hitch extender like the part # e28YR? That might not be a terrible idea as the extender does at quite a bit of leverage on the hitch but where would you attach it?

What Hitch Extension Can be Used For Motorhome With 5,000 lb Towing Capacity
Hello James, We have a hitch extender for you that'll work to protect your Ford Maverick from making contact with your motorhome, though the MaxxTow Hitch Extender with Step # MT70069 is ill suited for the job. Reason is the total capacity of your hitch is going to be diminished by 50%, so you're looking at a 2,500 lb towing capacity for a 3,700 lb truck. What you can use that will give you added length and has the weight capacity you need is the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for...

Can I Safely Use A Hitch Extension Towing East To West Alta 2400kth With A 2022 Ram 2500?
Hey Philip, you’re running into a pretty common clearance issue there. An extension would give you the space you need, but the problem is capacity. Most hitch extenders cut your tongue weight and towing capacity by 50%, and with a trailer the size of the 2400KTH, that’s going to put you well outside a safe range. So even though something like the # RM-071-1075 would physically give you more clearance, it’s not a practical or safe solution for that much weight. Unfortunately, we really...

Can Hitch Extender Be Used with Scooter Carrier
Hey John, the reason you can't use a hitch extender like the part # RM-071-1075 is they cut the capacity of the hitch in half and you'd be over capacity since 320 lbs is more than half of 500 lbs (250 lbs).

Recommended Pintle Hook Hitch Ball Combo And Adjustable Height Mounting Plate For 2006 Jeep Liberty
For your 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade, I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls - Bolt On - 25,000 lbs # PH1. This will give you all 3 of the hitch ball sizes and also give you the pintle hook option. For the mounting plate and shank to have the clearance for the spare tire and the rise you need, I recommend the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches - 15" Shank - 14 Hole - 16,000 lbs # BWPMHD14005. These rated capacities are far greater...

Hitch Extension Compatibility With Front Hitch on 2013 Ford F150 for Winch Mount Fit
For your Warn Zeon 10 Winch on your 2013 Ford F-150, the Curt front mounted receiver # C31068 has a vertical load of 500 lbs and a line pull ratting of 9,000 lbs. Because of the recessed receiver, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 which reduces that vertical load limit by 50% and brings it to 250 lbs. I recommend using hitch lock # e98880 and getting the pins keyed alike by selecting that from the box on the product page.

I can tell you have been doing some research and know what you are looking for.

Both the Curt # C45791 and the Brophy # HE06 options will still cause some play by themselves because of the weight sitting further out from your trailer hitch pin hole. What I...

Extension for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 To Clear Trailer Jack
Hey Leon! What kind of trailer do you have? We do have some extenders for a 2" hitch that have gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs like the # RM-071-1075 and # GY89SR. However, the issue with these is that they will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. Since it is a 2" hitch it is probably on the lower side for that truck so 50% capacity might not be enough. Do you know how much of an extension you need? Something like the Patriot Hitches Drop Hitch Stacked Receivers # PH73NR will...

Hitch Extender for 2019 Range Rover Sport Towing 6,000 lb Trailer
Hi Tom; the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 you were looking at is going to be the best option. However, you will need to make sure your setup doesn't exceed the 400 lb max tongue weight of the extender. You also need to be aware of the fact that a hitch extender reduces the capacity of your hitch by 50%. If you're saying the weight of the Zodiac and trailer is 6,000 lbs I'm guessing you will be over capacity. If that is the case, you could also use the Replacement...

Is There A 12" Hitch Extension I Can Use While Flat Towing?
I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have an extender that will measure exactly 12". At least nothing that will be rated for use while flat towing. I do have a 14" hitch extender from Gen-Y part # GY89SR. This is rated for 10,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight. It is recommended to use an anti rattle device like part # e99007 when using an extension. This will help to reduce any additional play at the hitch. You will also need a second hitch pin like the # e98880. Please...

How Much Weight will the Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 Support?
The Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7-3/4" # RM-071-1075 has a maximum tongue weight of 400 pounds. The tongue weight is the downward force that the trailer exerts on the hitch. If you are looking for the gross trailer tow weight of the extender, that is 10,000 pounds. The gross towing weight is the amount of weight that pulls horizontally on the extender. This extender is your best choice because any extender we carry that is longer than 7-3/4 inches greatly...

Longer Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for Better Jack/Tailgate Clearance
The issue with hitch extenders is that they end up cutting the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to the extra length and movement in the hitch. So with that in mind there isn't a hitch extender we can offer that will give you the length you need and not cause issues with weight capacity. Plus none of them have the weight capacity you need either. Best option is a longer adjustable ball mount to get you the length you need like with the Curt Multi Ball Mount...

I have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7-3/4" Extension, # RM-071-1075, is designed to be used in flat towing applications. When flat towing a vehicle behind an motorhome there is less tongue weight on the hitch than when you are towing a trailer. That's why the Roadmaster hitch extender has a low tongue weight rating and should not be used in trailer applications. I recommend using a ball mount with a longer shank, like the...

It's also only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle with a hitch style tow bar. It can't be used with a ball mount.

Hitch Extender for a Jeep Wrangler and Cargo Carrier to Clear Spare Tire
We have a lot of hitch extenders, see link, but keep in mind that when you use a hitch extender it will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. So for example if the tongue weight capacity of your hitch is 350 pounds and you use an extender that capacity drops to 175 pounds. That means the combined weight of the cargo carrier and cargo cannot exceed 175 pounds in this scenario. Another option is to multipurpose ball mount # D210. Since this is a ball mount...

Recommendation to Gain Clearance for Tailgate with Weight Distribution System Installed
Using a hitch extender like you mentioned will give you the needed clearance but it will also reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. This is because of the extra play/movement and instability that adding another component causes. This along with their lower base ratings to begin with (as you mentioned) means that your best option is to just use a longer adjustable shank for your weight distribution system.

Recommendation for Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device for Roadmaster Hitch Extender
The Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 comes with the threaded bolt and pin. This threaded hitch bolt does indeed reduce noise and movement inside the hitch receiver, providing a more secure and quiet connection. However, there is not a locking hitch pin available that is compatible with the threaded hitch pin hole on this extender. A thief would need to have the correct wrench to remove it. If you are looking to lock the extender to your hitch receiver, I instead recommend...

Will the Yakima RidegBack Bike Rack Clear The Spare Tire on My 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457 does not have any horizontal adjustment, however this bike rack does have a tilting feature when the bikes are unloaded which can allow for full rear-cargo access. Since you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle, I recommend using a hitch extender Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075. This will push the receiver of your hitch on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler 7-3/4" to allow for more room for your spare tire.
