Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the inch and a quarter to two inch hitch adapter. This receiver allows you to convert any inch and a quarter class one and class two receiver to a two inch receiver. That way you can easily haul your two inch hitch accessories even though you have an inch and a quarter hitch on your vehicle. It is made from a durable steel construction and features a black powder coated finish to resist rust and corrosion. The inch and a quarter shank on the unit is solid steel for a very strong durable design and the receiver right here measures two inches by two inches. And this does feature a capacity of 300 pounds when it comes to the tongue weight.
A few measurements I want to mention for you real quick. I took a measurement from the center of this pin hole to the center of this pin hole and got a measurement of 7 and 1/4 inches. From very front to very back measures 11 inches.From the center of this pin hole to the back of the shank measures and inch and half. Now, in order for your accessory to work with this unit, you need to make sure that the shank of your accessory is three and 3/8 of an inch or shorter. And that's because that's the amount of clearance or that's the amount of room we have inside this receiver slot.
So, from the back of this unit to the center of that hitch pin hole internally we have three and 3/8 of an inch, so again, your hitch accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier, cannot be more than three and 3/8 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole on your accessory to the end or to the back of the shank, which is the part that slides into the hitch.Now, if it's longer than three and 3/8 inches, it will not work with this adapter, so please keep that in mind. Your pins and clips or pins and locks are not included. This pin hole right here will accept a standard 5/8 inch diameter pin. If you're in need of one, you can find it at Etrailer.com with part number PC3 that part includes a 5/8 inch diameter pin and a clip. This one back here will accept a 1/2 diameter pin and you can find that on our website with part number PC2 and that part number includes a 1/2 inch diameter pin and it also comes with a clip.
Again, durable, steel construction. Black powder coated finishing. Product is made in the USA. Now, please note, this is not designed for towing, so it's designed for use with bike racks and cargo carriers. That information is printed right here on the sticker on top of the product and the tongue weight capacity of your hitch will be reduced by 50% when using an adapter.That's gonna do it for today's look at the inch and a quarter to two inch hitch adapter..

Seems like a decent extender/adapter for my 1 1/4" to 2" hitch needs. 93416
After one year this product continues to work and function as advertised. I use it for lite duty. It provides a platform to which I mount my bike rack via a lite weight trailer hitch. The fit and finish has held up well. Good product, does whats expected.

Product was extremely well put together. Welds were all neat and uniform. Nothing was out of line. Finish was great. Heavy gauge steel: nothing cheap about the product. Excellent product. 185985
Doing great. Used it again this week to pull a fertilizer spreader. No problem at all. Paint even still looks brand new.

Fits in exactly in my older 1994 Honda lx draw tite hitch no mods needed.... Perfect for the Thule 2 bike bike rack hitch mount.... 99104
Product works as designed with no issues! Fits perfectly in the Draw-Tite hitch with no modifications, glad I bought from etrailer, they know there stuff!

It is what I ordered. Thank you. I have sent photos previously. I thought I was going to get Free Shipping as per your flashing banner. Did not. Bill Beaver 61084
Your adapter works as described. I have no issues with it.
W.A.Beaver - 06/10/2014by: Ken F.09/08/2013
Very heavy duty. Will use it with a bike rack I had for another vehicle that had a 2" receiver. 98904
I want to adapt my 11/4 hitch to 2 for a Hollywood platform bike rack. However, the hitch adapter I got locally had some play in it. Do you have any movement with your platform bike rack with your adapter? The movement I had was where the adapter slid into the hitch, not with the bike rack.
-- comment by: Nancy - 08/30/2014Nancy, the adapter has very little movement in my Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver. It fits good with the bike rack

Product looks good quality. Took an hour to put in. Recommend two man job but jack stands work great. Before removing old bolts used WD 40 to soak them. Tap set would have worked great but muscle works as well on corroded holes. Did not have to jack vehicle. Did in car port. Liked they gave torque specs. Am firm believer in torquing bolts to spec. Received product a day earlier than promised. Liked box was the size of small bike box. Using it initially for 4 bike carrier and can not wait to try it out. Must purchase hitch lock for this vehicle since carrier was used on Jeep. all in all I found everything clear and seller caring of service. Very happy. 405871

Description was perfect on website. I spent hours running around to Home Depot, Menards, Walmart, Ace and all I could find was a hitch adaptor with a hole 3 and 1/4 when I needed 3 and 3/8. I had no idea that there would be a company that was on the internet that sold specialized adaptors. This was handy because the original bike rack I was trying to attach isn't made anymore. Also, the bike rack manufacturer apparently didn't want to have its 2 inch opening reduced to 1 and a 1/4 because of the weight limits for the rack. Your site explains that the weight for the rack should be adjusted for this change, so all is good. 53692

I can't believe how much this thing wobbles inside of my hitch, and how much my accessory wobbles inside of it. Two wobbles don't cancel it and I get wobble-wobble. I have yet to use my accessory because that just won't work out. I'm trying to use the Rhino T-Loader so that I can load a kayak on my roof. Paint also chipped off so easily from playing around with installation; I didn't even USE the accessory yet. For the cost of this chunk of metal, I'd have hoped for better fitment. Most anti-rattle devices only work for securing the accessory-to-hitch end. I'm not quite sure if I can stabilize both ends... 229877

Product was of excelent quality and exactly as described. The good dimensional infomation on eTrailer was most helpful in determining whether this product would work for me. Because of the excellent engineering info on eTrailer, I was able to determine the loading that I will able to carry and I learned a lot about the different class hitches and their ratings which was most helpful. Product arrived very quickly. I am using this product with a bike rack on my 1-1/4" car hitch. Great website and great service. What could be better. I would buy here again. Thanks eTrailer!! 29471
by: Ed Blair02/28/2015
This product is very well built. It's also very heavy. However I bought it thinking I would use this so I could continue to use my 2" bike rack that I would routinely use behind my SUV. It will work but in the end the rack sticks out way too far and I did not get a comfortable feeling about the stress I would place on a class 2 hitch (1.25"). The product itself is great but if your intent is to use it on a bike rack my suggestion is to think it through. If your carrying a good deal of weight centered too far off the back of the car then you might loose stability. 176468

Unfortunately I had to return the product because the 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" shaft was not long enough for me to match or mate its pin hole with the pin hole on the hitch. The 2" x 2" portion would hit the bottom of my rear bumper which prevented the 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" shaft from being inserted all the way into the hitch. It would have worked if the pin hole on the 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" shaft could have been inserted about 1/2" more. Looks like I will have to purchase a brand new bike rack since I will not be able to use the 2" x 2" that I now own. 159091

I needed this product to adapt a standard Honda 1 1/4 inch hitch to a bike rack with a two inch mounting bar. Ordinarily, the hitch bar might have fit the standard Honda mount, but there was a blocking reinforcement bar under the Honda mount. This mount enables me to conform both the existing and bike rack mounts. Note: I carefully measured hole distances from ends of each mount to be sure it fit, which it does. I have no time to test the mount with the full rack load right now, but it seems to be within specified tolerances. 84470

I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla. Shipment was fast even with the holiday. Parts and bolts all securely packed. I also ordered the 1.25 to 2" adapter. Installing: I couldn't get the bolts to catch to screw in so I tapped the weld nuts and that did the trick. Local stores have the single 12-1.25 so I didn't have to buy an entire tap and die set. After that the installation was pretty straight forward. I wish I would have thought to investigate a hitch years ago versus carrying the bikes on a trunk carrier. 403916

This hitch adapter is just what the doctor ordered!! It met my needs in making it possible to "adapt" a rear cargo carrier to our 2007 Ford Explorer. This gives us extra capacity to transport wedding-related items from our home in Columbus, OH to Battle Creek, MI without having to rent a trailer or use two vehicles. Not only that, etrailer.com "performed a miracle" in getting this delivered in 2 days at no extra cost!! GREAT JOB in supplying what we needed, when we needed it, at a price we could afford. 119859
by: dp03/29/2012
Seems to be a solid product for our purposes. We already had a 2" receiver type bike carrier, but the wife's car can only handle a 1-1/4" hitch. This adapter saved us a good chunk of money on a new bike carrier. It slid in a little tight on the first go, but nothing a little grease couldn't solve. Highly recommended for this type duty. Oh yeah, etrailer.com had what we needed in stock (hitch for a 2010 Malibu LTZ & this adapter) and shipped immediately. Their tracking software was slick, best I've seen. 35463
by: James02/20/2013
Product was exactly what I needed and to tell the truth, was quite a bit more heavy duty that I had envisioned. I am very enthusiastic and extremely satisfied with the operation of the company and the product. 67056
It did the job I wanted it to. Since then I have traded cars went from afull size Mercury to a VW Passat so I am not using it at this time. I lentit to my brother in law and he raved about it also - worked well for him.Hope this helps.

I am very pleased with the Hitch Adapter that I just received from etrailer.com. It is exactly as pictured online and well made. I have already installed it on my car. Until I went on your website I was not even aware that this item existed. It solved a problem for me to be able add an accessory to my car hitch that I needed. I also appreciate the timely manner that it was delivered. 69735
by: Ron C.05/26/2012
This adapter worked great. However it was etrailers customer service that really made the online site win me as a loyal customer.I need this delivered in 2 days for a upcoming trip and despite a late in the day order their Team was able to get it shipped so I could receive it in 2 business days! They were reachable by phone and asisted professionally. Hats off to etrailers! 41751
by: Bill T03/25/2014
I purchased this along with a 1.25" hitch for my Prius so that I could use my hitched mount bike rack. Bridget at etrailer.com was very helpful by making sure that I got that right adapter and getting it to me quickly. I ordered this on a Thursday and got it on the next Monday, free shipping! We just traveled from Ohio to St Augustine Florida with our 2 bikes trouble free. 122094

The HTAD Hitch Adapter was purchased to accommodate my 2" bike rack in the 1 1/4" hitch receiver on my new car, dissolving my initial dismay at the size of the freshly-installed hitch. The car salesman knew exactly how to solve the problem and texted your website with this product to me right away. It is well-made and beefy enough for the job. Need met. Happy me. 494853
by: Alan07/10/2012
Arrived quickly. Fit perfectly. Very STURDY piece. The pin and clip were easy to use. This adapter should enable me to use my 2 inch diameter bike rack (which had plenty of life left in it) on the 1 1/4 inch Class I hitch that came with our new car. The seller kept me apprised of the progress of my order and delivery details. Exemplary transaction all around. 47436
by: Brad09/07/2015
I ordered this adapter to allow the use of a bike rack I used on a previous vehicle with a 2" receiver on the new 1 1/4" hitch I was putting on my car. It worked as advertised. Only downside is that the rack sticks out about 6" farther than with no adapter. Not a huge deal, but I would prefer not to have to use an adapter. 224401
by: Colorado09/12/2011
WARNING: Does not fit a standard 1-1/4 hitch reciever... at least not without grinding the paint off. It appears the manufacturer cast it to the correct size, then painted it which added just enough so it will not fit. Pulling out the grinder this weekend to resolve the problem. Otherwise seems to be of sturdy construction. 23811
by: Pat10/02/2014
The adapter arrived on time and worked great. I have to compliment eTrailer's customer service for going above and beyond. I needed an anti-rattle clip for my bike rack. It wasn't available in the 1.25 size, but they added it to their inventory amazingly quickly: http://www.etrailer.com/p-RM-061-125.html Good job! 154076
by: Rick T02/28/2011
Great, strong quality, but I wish it wasn't so long. My deer hauling hitch tray now hangs a foot off/away from the back of my little 2 door hatchback and with only 4"-6" of ground clearance. Really looks like an odd set-up. I should have measured better before ordering; now will have to only shoot small deer to haul.:-) 8104
by: Rich Burgess07/08/2011
Everything was delivered as pictured, service was fast and received in 5 days. This is going to be used for a bike carrier. Bike Carriers are more common in the 2", class IV (4) size that the Class III size of 1:1/4. I would use e-trailer again without question. Thanks for ordering so simple. 18958
by: Carl B.03/03/2015
Januita was most helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for. Price was competitive and so I ordered trhe trailer hitch. Instant feedback re: shipping and tracking info .. item was received within 7 days. I am happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again. 176881
by: Marvin DuBois09/06/2013
It arrived in good shape. But the packaging needs to be done better, since it poked a hole in the cardboard carton. Its exactly as pictured. I must have overlooked that I will need to order a pin for it. Etrailer provides very good updates on the shipping status -- great job there. 98576
by: Jacque W04/26/2017
The adapter seems to be made with great quality. I would rather review the company. Awesome company, Pat C especially, was great to deal with. I am the one that made the mistake by ordering the wrong size and they bent over backwards to get me the correct part. 372634
by: Alan L04/04/2011
Bright for a 1 1/4 hitch on my Fiesta to put my 2 inch bike rack on the car. Solid constructions works as advertised. But.... The adapter does not fit tight in the hitch so the bike rack shakes a bit. I am looking for a locking, anti-rattle solution for it. 11048
by: Dennis S.11/15/2012
The adapter fit perfectly with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" which I also purchased from etrailer. There was no need to scrape paint or grind metal to make it fit.The customer service from etrailer was excellent. 59468
by: steve05/22/2014
Outstanding service and prompt delivery. I installed the Draw-Tite hitch and hitch adapter with ease. The instructions were straight forward and detailed. The hitch is installed on a Prius, and i can now use my cargo carrier to haul around my son's wheelchair. 132008
by: TS11/10/2016
For the 2003 Accord, I would have chosen the shorter (51/2 in) model if there is such a model. This one is too long for my application. Also the appropriate hardware should be included with this price. IE: nut/bolt/washers to secure to trailer hitch. 315438
by: Wendy K.10/03/2015
It scared me at first, I thought the size was wrong because I didn't give it a good shove when I put it on my hitch. This adapter does fit on a class I 1 1/4" hitch as long as you understand the load limit is still for a 1 1/4" hitch, NOT a 2" load. 229080
by: Stan O.11/22/2014
The Prius etrailer hitch had burs or this was made too big since it was almost impossible to insert until I rounded the start of the hitch. I believe this part wasn't the issue. Prompt delivery and very helpful when ordering. 162198
by: Jon P06/09/2012
The hole in the hitch adapter was not centered and I had to drill out the hole in the trailer hitch (about 1/16th) to get the pin inserted. It took about an hour to get right. I'm not very happy with your QA department. 43456
by: Norbert02/05/2013
Not the most elegant workmanship but sturdy and functional for its intended purpose to support a hitch bike rack. Service was excellent as product was at my doorstep within 3 days of order with regular shipping. 65098
by: Ronald M06/18/2011
Great product, and right on time. The only thing I forgot was the pin to secure it in. I forgot it is shorter. It goes on my Polaris side by side to hold a bike rack while it is on a trailer. Works great. 17237
by: Dennis R.01/30/2013
This hitch adapter is of very high quality and etrailer.com service gets a 5 star rating from me because they kept me informed of my order status right up to it's delivery. I really recommend this site! 64551
by: JMike07/22/2016
I've bought from eTrailer several times. Always a great experience. I'd buy from them again and I've recommended them to my friends. Great service on returns. Easy to work with. Thank you, -Mike 274867
I bought that adapter when we got a new bike rack. Unfortunately, that rack didn’t work out. So, we haven’t used the adapter since. But, it worked fine when we did use it.
JMike - 01/06/2018by: Charles08/31/2012
The product fits great and shipped fast! This allowed me to fit a cargo carrier to my vehicle. I will continue to purchase from etrailer as they have provided great products and services everytime. 53676
by: Kyle W05/17/2013
An excellent addition to the hitch I also purchased from this website. It juts out slightly from the car, but not to a degree of it looking strange. I am completely satisfied with this product. 80681
by: Steve11/18/2013
The adapter was exactly what they said it would be. That was the best news. It fit perfectly and I am very pleased. I experienced friendly service and quick shipment. That is the ultimate. 107709
by: Michael C.08/02/2012
It’s a tight fit on the 1-1/4" side. I had to scrape off some paint, but it works just as advertised. This adapter lets me use my carrier on bike rack on a small car hitch. 50336
by: Roy s09/29/2016
Overall the product finish is great. The issue is when using in conjunction with hitch. The adapter does not fit snug and wobbles around and makes it unsecure 301410
by: Tommy04/07/2017
I ordered this along with a new hitch so that I could used the same bike rack with my car or truck. The adapter fits nice and snug, and feels very well made. 364334

Works to adapt my daughters 1-1/4" reciever to a 2" reciever for her bike rack installation on her Corolla. Works well but is pricey for no more than it is. 37237

Shipping box was brocken apart but the adapter was not missing. High quality! Look forward to using it.(1 1/4 to 2 in receiver adapter for a 2in bike rack. 302158

I recieved the product in a very timely manner. It was exactly as described and well constructed. I recommend eTrailer and this brand of product. Jon 50585
