I purchased this to use on my 2500HD to transition from the factory 2.5" receiver to a 2" so that we could use a Yakima hitch mounted bike rack. With the length of the tube, it also provides the perfect amount of clearance from the back of the truck so that I can lower the tailgate without it hitting the upright on the bike rack. Great product and always pleased with etrailer's customer service!
Exactly what I needed. Extends my hitch back 7 inches. Good quality.
My truck has a 2-1/2" receiver. I already owned a heavy duty 2" hitch. This 2" reducer & extender was perfect for my use. I used it to tow a rental trailer and needed to extend my receiver to allow me to tow with the tailgate down. This reducer/extender did the trick. I had plenty of room making tight u-turns. The quality of the product is very good. I would recommend this product to others.
We bought a Thule EasyFold XT 2 bike rack for our 2017 Ford F-250. I wanted a reducer and extender that would allow me to open the back cap and lower the tailgate without doing anything to the rack. This was the perfect answer.
Purchased for our 2016 Chevy Volt. We mounted it ourselves and was relatively easy. Highly recommend. We use it to carry 2 bicycles.
The reducer and extender fits perfectly in my hitch. I bought it to accommodate a bike rack made for use in a 2 inch receiver. The shipping was fast and it arrived earlier than expected.
The Hitch Reducer works fine, my only complaint is it has a lot of play between the hitch and reducer. Tried to shim, my Thule bike rack really moves around going down the road. When you hit a bump rally jars the bike rack. Also wish it had another adjustment hole, I have a new dodge 2500 hits the spare tire, if it would extend farther into the receiver this may help with the play in the reducer. Service was great though
It allowed me to continue using my 2” hitch mount bike rack with the standard 2.5” hitch on the F250. Due to the anti wobble design of the rack, a simple insert will not work. This product solved the problem.
This heavy duty extension is going to work perfect for towing my boat behind my truck and camper. This is just what I needed. The quality is superb. I found a similar product on Amazon but the reviews were poor and the quality looked inferior to the e-trailer product.
This works perfect on my Ram 2500 to extend my hitch for my trailer toy hauler. I can now load my Polaris ATV in truck bed and keep the tailgate down and still hook up and unhook and haul trailer. Very solid piece of steel and well coated to prevent rust.
The reducer arrived quickly and fit easily into my 2.5 inch receiver. With the extender I am able to fit a bike rack onto my truck.
Works as intended. Needed to extend the hitch just a few inches so the tailgate of my truck would not hit the trailer tongue jack. Needed the higher rating of this unit for my 8000# trailer. I only give 3-stars because after only 1/2 a Michigan winter it is already badly rusted. I will have to have it blasted & repainted in the Spring.
Just what I needed to use my bike Thule rack on my 2-1/2" receiver with an anti-rattle pin.
Product as described, fast shipping and now I can haul my golf cart in the bed of my truck with the tailgate down with the camper hooked up and no issues with clearance. 2018 Denali 6 1/2 ft bed.
This item made it possible to use all my old hitch items after purchasing a 2017 2500 diesel Ram which had a 2 1/2 inch receiver hitch. Love it.
We can now haul our golf cart with the tailgate (on our Chevy HD 2500 6'-6" bed) down and still pull our Apex 24' travel trailer. Before we would need to remove the tailgate. Our truck hitch is a class 5 rated at 13,500 lbs. and our trailer fully loaded is 5964 lbs. We only needed to extend our 7- pin cord ,the breakaway brake cable and safety chains.
Terry R - 10/07/2016I appreciate the fast shipping. I’m using this part to reduce the 2.5” hitch on my Ram Power Wagon to 2”, and to create more space for my tailgate to be lowered. I’m pulling a 4,000 lb. camper using a anti-sway weight distribution hitch.
Shipping was fast product works great
Kurtis - 02/05/2021Mariah provided superlative customer service. This extension was out of stock and when my order was confirmed it showed a delivery date that would have been too late because of a planned trip. I called and Mariah confirmed that etrailer would receive it in a week and she'd make sure it was shipped out promptly. She also followed up after shipment to confirm that I had received it on time. Can't beat the service and the item is just what I needed.
Well built and strong. I think I ordered the 8 inch but I wish there was other size options. With 8 inch hitch on my 6000 pound trailer I felt lots of clunking back there while towing on Mtn roads. I may cut the adapter shorter and re-drill the hole. I only needed 4-5 inches so my tailgate would open with my old camper. I also bought hitch clamps from hits clam.com which helped.
Delivery was fast and easy. My complaint would be with the post office. I watched them throw my package on the porch and they had already repackaged the container because it was damaged, but the product came as advertised 3 days early.
Joshua - 02/24/2020My order consisted of wheel oil seals and a trailer hitch extension. My order came quickly and are exactly as described.
Fits good and performed the way I needed for a long trip pulling a travel trailer. It aloud me to open tailgate with out having to disconnecting trailer
Heavy duty ... and perfect for my need ... which was a relatively short extender with pin placements for both the 2 1/2" side and the 2" side.
My first order from e-trailer. Everything went well and I received good updates throughout the process. Quality of part was very good. I will order again when I need a trailer part.
