Today we're going to be taking a look at the Brophy Hitch Adapter, 1 1/4 to 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, part number HTAD. The Brophy Hitch Adapter is going to easily convert your class II, 1 1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver, allowing you to use 2 inch accessories. Now we're using our cargo carrier with our hitch adapter here today, but this would also be great for bike racks or any other 2 inch accessory. Keep in mind, this is going to cut your tongue weight capacity in half and it's not recommended for use with towing. This is a much more economical solution that having to have two bike racks or two cargo carriers for multiple vehicles. It measures 7 1/4 inches from pin hole to pin hole, giving us a little bit of an extension as well. It's made out of sturdy steel construction with a corrosive resistant black powder coat finish, so it's going to stand up to the elements.
It's got a 300 pound weight capacity. The pin and clips are not included, so you'll need to pick some up here at etrailer.com. We're using a 5/8ths pin and clip for the adapter end, part number PC3 and for our receiver end, we're using a PC2, which is a 1/2 inch pin and clip. Now it's extraordinarily easy installation. We've got our adapter plugged into our 1 1/4 inch receiver and our accessory plugged into our 2 inch receiver. That's going to complete our look at the Brophy Hitch Adapter, 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, part number HTAD.

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
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
Butch L - 04/21/2016Seems like a decent extender/adapter for my 1 1/4" to 2" hitch needs. 93416
Tom M - 02/03/2015I 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 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
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
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
I am very pleased with my service from etrailer. After I ordered, I got a call from an etrailer rep who advised me that the two parts I ordered would not work together, and she had a ready (and cheaper!) suggestion of an alternative part that made the whole order workable. My order came very fast, even though I didn't use the fastest shipping method. 751409
I recently ordered several products from the website. As one who does regularly order online-- I want to say that the whole process was EXCELLENT. The access to information and videos about the product is outstanding. All questions you might have can easily be answered at each site. The products arrived and were as presented. I recommend etrailer for all related needs. 739553
Great product only didn't come with pins to secure it to the hitch 737158
Victoria B - 01/15/2020Great quality product. Only thing I forgot was the 1/2 inch pin. I think I missed the reminder about the size of the pin needed when ordering. 723160
Does the job and worked wher others wouldn't due to measurement between pin qholes 683962
It came the second time wrapped and boxed perfectly. I have installed it, and it fits perfectly. 679944
Product is great. Turns out we didn't need it. 679657
The product works great. Original shipping didn’t include the Class 1 clip, took sometime to get it reshipped. Otherwise, great to do business with Etrailer. Very helpful. Thanks, 676729
Rachael H - 07/29/2019Awesome. Also, customer services are very good. 669809
Fits well and fulfills the purpose. 657980
Product arrived on time and as described. It's exactly what I needed. Thumbs up! 651741
When I can't find something locally I can always find it on etrailer. They are my go to parts store for my trucks and RV 643079
does what is suppose to do 639971
Fits, sits, works as described. You will need to get a pin, but it was never described as having that so I ordered that separately. This is my second purchase off of etrailer.com and I have been very happy both times. 638499
We purchased a Brophy trailer hitch adapter for1/4 trailer hitch to a 2” bike rack. It’s very study and well made. 636358
Overall fit well into existing hitch. However, with the added rack on the car and the extended distance from the rear, the rack sometimes scrapes going out steep driveways. Would not be a problem with a higher ground clearance car. 619667
