Video of Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
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..

This is a perfect fit. I thought I had wasted money on my class 1 hitch since none of the 2 inch adapters would fit. But this adapter saved me it works with class 1 and 2 hitches. From my research it is the only one available. Many thanks to etrailer. 567238

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.

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

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

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

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.
Butch L - 04/21/2016by: B04/22/2018
Great product at a great price. Installation was easy and took less than an hour even including the time to jack up the car and set jack stands to get room to work. Note that you do not HAVE to remove and cut the heat shield if you don't want to; however, the hitch can rub against the shield when it is loaded (with a bike rack in my case) and make a minor squeaking noise. Don't forget to get a stabilizer/anti-wobble/tightener if you're using a bike rack or similar carrier. Depending on your hitch, rack, or adapter there can be a lot of play in it when hitting bumps in the road causing the bike and rack to move around a lot. 499856

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

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.

I'm using this hitch adaptor for transporting our canoe with our Prius. My main concern was the fit with the carrier. It fit like a charm. Also, the finish and welds are clean and well executed which makes it easy to attach our canoe loader. 564039
by: Dave10/13/2015
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

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

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: 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 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

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!

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

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: Phil W08/31/2012
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

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

Your adapter works as described. I have no issues with it.

This is an excellent product! It went on my Toyota Corolla S 2006 in ten minutes. Excellent Product! 561393
by: Wes11/04/2014
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

Fit my new Prius hitch perfectly. Only concern in using one of these adapters is to not overload. I'm pretty confident the whole setup will work fine for the hitch mounted bike rack we already have. No worries. 559136
Just be aware that using this adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half. The tongue weight on a Class I hitch used on your Prius is 200 lbs, so using the adapter will lower that to 100 lbs. This will mean that the weight of the bike rack and the bikes carried upon it cannot exceed 100 lbs.

This extender fits easily and accepts our Thule bike rack. It would be great if it came with the pin you need. We got a locking pin, which is nice and easy to use. 559155
by: Thomas07/27/2018
Excellent quality. Use the the product with limitations is clearly spelled out. Order was processed promptly and delivered without delay. The only surprise is that it didn't come with the retention pin to hold it into the receiver. Not a big problem, I can pick one up at the local hardware store. 546897

Good fit. Solid. I use it with the MaxxHaul extender. 541450

I was worried about the welding workmanship of the hitch as through my search for the right one I found a few people complaining about how badly welded some of them were made. I put my faith into etrailer and I was not disappointed. It came just as advertised and very well made. 529627

Product came quickly, very well packed. The adapter worked perfectly with an anti wobble device to convert 1.25 to 2” for a bike rack. 498022

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

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

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

The product looks perfect. Delivery was fast and without issue and the price is good. 345138
Just fine. There have been no issues. I might suggest one product design modification. It has not been an issue, but I think that changing to a pin that actually has a hole in it to place the cotter key to lock the pin in place would be better and less likely to fall out.
