Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver

E-trailer website made it easy to find what I needed and compare. Best priceI found, and the pin was included. Products I ordered were shipped and delivered promptly. The hitch adaptor works great 59881

This product worked like a charm. I was trying to find a product to mount my Bell bike rack on a 2" Hitch and reduce it to 1 1/4". My bike rack was quite unstable with the plastic reducer Bell had provided. With this product, my bike rack fits well with no rattle and I drove a long distance carrying 4 bikes during father's day without any problems. 44586

Product is solid, easy to connect just as advertised. Delivery was fast and good notification as it progressed. My bike rack came with an anti-wobble bolt that tightens it to the receiver. Without it, this unit would wobble using just the pin that came with this product. But they all seem to have this problem to some degree. 386258

Very satisfied, easy ordering online with fast delivery. This adapter installs in a few seconds with no tools required. It is a little lose fitting but can be removed just as easily as installing. Wish it came with a 5/8 pin as i already have the smaller one. 85357

Once again the service and prompt delivery of our order by etrailer was superb. The extension is just the right size and solidly made. I have no fears using it to carry our bike rack. 64103

I was actually surprised to find this. My local hardware stores and farm stores didn't have a hitch reducer. One guy told me he thought that they didn't make them. I received this one in good condition and without delay. 147337

Your web site was very helpful. I wasn't sure if I needed just a reducer or a extension. Just a reducer worked fine. It's heavy duty so it should hold up well. The video was very helpful showing how the reducer fit. I didn't know I needed a 5/8" pin which the video mentioned so I ordered that also. Thanks! 196944

There is a fair amount of play between this adapter and a 2" receiver so any attachments used (bike rack or cargo rack) will rock back and forth more than expected. I used small pieces of aluminum to shim between the adapter and the receiver the minimize the movement. 10858

The folks at eTrailer are the best at answering questions, recommending the right part and following up after the sale. I bought this hitch reducer and then the people who sold me the bike rack remembered that it came with an adapter that they had never used. Meanwhile, the reducer from eTrailer arrived very quickly. I will probably be returning it as I no longer need it. Nevertheless, I will remember the great customer service at eTrailer and will buy future products from them! 237118

I found the design, construction and materials are excellent and the fit was good but looser than I had hoped for. My 1-1/4 cargo rack has two pin holes, as if it was made to fit an adapter. I would like the internal sleeve to extend the full length of the adapter. The option of selecting which pin I want would be nice, too. Overall, this adapter is fine and worth the price. 200085

Great product and the customer service is impeccable. I've ordered the trailer hitch from them 1 1/2 weeks after I ordered a grill guard from another online store and my trailer hitch came in faster. It's amazing. I decided to order the adapter from them again and had a couple of questions before I place the order, customer service rep was really courteous and knowledgeable. I received my adapter in 3 days. Amazing store! 33575

I am very pleased with my experience with etrailer. I was searching the web for a hitch reducer and I happened on your site. You had a video of the hitch reducer that I was interested in so I got a very good idea of what I was buying. The product arrived exactly as in your video. Now I'll be able to use my hitch for my bike rack. Thank you very much. I wish all my interrnet purchasing experiences were as good as what I experienced with your company! 101669

Nothing much to say really, works as expected with my 1.25" bike rack. 572900

I bought this to use a cargo rack that was given to me on my 2013 Murano. My hitch is 2" and the cargo carrier is 1 1/4". This made the transition perfectly. The best part is it's not so long like any of the others that I've found. This being only 7" long, my cargo rack does not stick out so far like it would with a 12" adapter. Fast shipping, great communication from etrailer. 296370

After a year, this is still working perfect. Thanks.

Still not quite the snug fit I was hoping for - but it certainly accomplishes the goal of being able to insert the Kuat rack. For further security, I added a lock that keeps the rack from swaying as much. The line up of the hitch, the insert, and the bike rack was challenging but improved the overall install. 268852

What I especially like about this product is it is much shorter and compact compared to other hitch adapters. This allows my bike carrier to be mounted several inches closer to my vehicle, but still has sufficient clearance from the bumper. The shorter design also results in less sway and bounce of the bike carrier. On the downside, I think it's probably the most expensive 2" to 1 1/4" hitch adapter on the market. But hey, you get what you pay for. 336556

This is about as short a reducer as I found. Product shipped and arrived in the timeframe expected (maybe faster). On receipt I installed it and tried it with the 1" steel luggage rack we have. Everything fits. I knew the opening of the two inch tow harness was under the bumper a bit, and measured prior to purchase to be sure the rack would not be against the bumper when installed. Wouldn't want it any closer, but it fits. 282357

I needed a hitch reducer to attach my bike rack to our vehicle for my family's upcoming vacation trip. My bike rack had a 1 1/4" hitch and my vehicle has a 2" receiver. I quickly found the right hitch reducer on the etrailer.com website and the product was delivered in-time for my trip and worked as expected. We did plenty of biking.Thank you etrailer.com 147843

The hitch reducer does what it says...reduces from a 2" to a 1 1/4" receiver. It was the perfect length to extend past the spare tire on my Jeep. My only complaint is that it has a bit of wiggle in it. I'm ordering a stabilizer to see if that solves the problem. Not sure why so much wiggle is there but I don't want my bikes moving around so much. We will see if the stabilizer fixes the problem. 386383

I can't say enough good things about the C.S. Brophy company and how they stand behind their products. I bought one of these adapters from etrailer and used it for months but it didn't fit right. I finally discovered the 5/8" hole on one side was off center. etrailer directed me to call Brophy, and Brophy replaced the item as quickly as could be expected, paid for the return shipping, and followed up to make sure the replacement worked correctly. The replacement is a well made piece of hardware that should last many years. I will look first for Brophy products whenever I'm shopping for trailer hardware. 107151

I bought this part to adapt a Class 3 Hitch with 2" receiver to work with a bike rack that fits a 1 1/4" receiver. It fits perfectly and works great! 422169

Kinda pricey, but quality is worth it. Perfect size except for pin hole for 1.25, needs to be 2/16 further out board. Cannot use socket to tighten my Thule hitch bike rack to hitch extender 432787

I had great trouble finding this item anywhere else but my sales rep. at etrailer knew exactly what I was looking for. I had a 1 1/4 receiver on my Malibu and several 1 1/4 hitch bars with different sized balls, but my new vehicle has a 2in receiver and I didn't want to buy new hitches. The reducer solved my problem simply. 303784

Works as advertised. Bought an anti-rattle receiver lock to address the play. 351463

The hitch adjuster is solidly constructed and fits easily into my two inch hitch, though it seems a little loose. Some play is, however, probably necessary for normal use. My 1 1/4" bike rack fits well into the internal dimension. I plan to use tie downs to steady the bike rack and minimize side-to-side wobble. Not sure if the dimensions on outer and inner fit could be enlarged just a bit to improve wobble without causing difficulty with assembly and removal. I may be able to add something more about this once I have worked with it under driving conditions. Overall, the product is just what I expected it to be. 394454

The adapter has worked just as needed to reduce my regular hitch so it accepts the smaller arm of my bike carrier.

Craig G - 06/15/2018

It did what is was supposed to, reduce from a 2" to 1 1/4", it work but it is a little loose, bike carrier moves around a lot. 15694

Bought this hitch reducer for my chevy Traverse to use my 1 1/4" Thule bike rack. Fits the car fine. The spare tire is immediately behind and inline with the trailer hitch. This does not extend beyond the 2" hitch toward the spare tire. My Thule bike rack now fits nicely into the trailer hitch. I use a regular pin to hold the reducer in the hitch. With the bikes attached the reducer "moves" inside the 2" hitch about a 1/16th of an inch. this translates to a full inch or 2 of movement of the bikes back and forth. The Thule 1 1/4" hitch bar has a threaded bolt to secure it to the Hitch/reducer. In a smaller hitch there is no play and the bouncing of the bikes. with the reducer it now takes some getting used to. I am contemplating a steel shim but I would need to make sure it cannot fall out during travel . . . 86951

It's heavy-duty, sure enough. Plenty stout for a 1 1/4 bike rack. However, I've noticed other posts citing the 2" adapter as just a bit small. My hitch is a brand new CURT #13200, so it isn't because of a worn receiver - your product is the first thing in it. If it were small in just one dimension it wouldn't rock side-to-side so badly, but it's small in both height and width by about a sixteenth or so. Just enough for a shim both top (or bottom) and side. That's annoying. The good news is, the 1 1/4 bike rack fits just fine, especially since my Hollywood rack uses a threaded bolt to anchor it in place. The 1/2" hitch pin you supply is redundant. The larger size would have been useful, the one you sent is not. Whatever 1 1/4 item we're adapting to either already comes with a 1/2" pin or your customer was already using one in the first place. Complaints aside, THIS is the ONLY 1 1/4 adapter on the market that works. My other choice is to have one fabricated. About the same cost, and this is a time saver. 377202

I purchased a hitch to mount my hitch mount bike rack. I fully intended to purchase the Class II, 1.25" hitch, but after speaking with the e-trailer rep it made more sense to go with the Class III hitch and use a reducer for the bike rack. It gives me more flexibility with my hitch. Thanks e-trailer guys for asking the right questions and making sure I had the correct product for my needs. 625442

Great product if you intend to use it as a small extension as well as a reducer you’ll need 2 pins, if you live in any city I would recommend both a dedicated 5/8 locking pin and a sleeved 1/22 - 5/8 locking pin. The sleeved version gives you the option of using as an extension but if you just want to use a single lock most 1 1/4 hitches require a 1/22 locking pin. If you buy the non sleeved version it will be too short to go through the entire receiver/ adapter/ ball mount assembly forcing you to use 2. All of this is available on etrailer, buy it now and be prepared not surprised. Trust me, you will get robbed at your local no service auto parts store. 623190

Exactly what I needed. Etrailer sent me the recommendation based on my description of need and it fits/works perfect. 605214

This adapter is exactly what I was looking for! Well built and definitely heavy duty. Thanks E-Trailer! 597173

Seems to be a heavy duty quality adapter. Fit should be tighter. Even with the J clamp installed and tightly bolted there is considerable wobble, especially up and down 565205

Had just purchased a new vehicle with a 2" trailer hitch, but needed the HT02 in order to use the 1 1/4" shank on my bike rack. So easy to set up. Very pleased! 557940

I received this hitch reducer and it fits well. One thing I did not think about was the hole and pin for the 1 and 1/4 inch hole. It has a larger hole matching the other hole for the 2 inch and shouldn't it have a smaller hole that would match the smaller hitch? 511920

I bought this to use with a Thule T2 Classic, which has a 1" hitch to fit my 2" receiver on our truck. This reducer works very well for this application. The T2 though uses a metric M12 threaded bolt to attach. You will need a longer bolt and lock washers to accommodate the now wider span with the addition of the reducer. There is very little wobble with the T2 attached, but there is some. They make bolts that can be attached to eliminate the wobble. 497431

Works as one would think. No problems 480633

This adapter did not work for me. I bought the adapter to accommodate a Kuat Bike rack. The adapter did not hold the rack tight and steady. It was very wobbly. I did find an adapter with a spring that tightened down to the male end of the Kuat Bike rack which worked amazingly. 467667

The reducer worked fine with your Curtis hitch that I installed last week. Thanks 455098

Great 429923

Works as described. Eliminated the need to change bike racks. 429036

It fits!!! In another adapter I tried, my bike rack shook all over the place. This adapter fits perfectly and my bike rack is stable. 425725
