• Recommended Hitch Adapter for Yakima Holdup Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier
  
• The Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris 1-1/4" Hitch Bike Racks # SA3032 is not the best option for you. There is not a shank adjustment sleeve like that for your Yakima Holdup. You would either want the 2 inch shank # 8880580 or the 1-1/4 inch shank # 8880581. An adapter sleeve just won't hold that particular rack well. The expander you referenced using like # HTAD is an option, but it will allow more sway as you mentioned and it will reduce the tongue weight capacity...

• Can a 1-1/4 - 2 Adapter be Used to Safely Haul a Cargo Carrier with a 2015 Toyota Corolla
  
• The concept of a hitch adapter like the Brophy # HTAD is a good idea in theory but the problem with using one of those with a 1-1/4" hitch, like part # C11265 or # 24913 for your 2015 Toyota Corolla, is that it will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. Since those trailer hitches have a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs this means that the tongue weight will be reduced to 100 lbs. If you were to use all of this for the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18153 you would only...

• Parts Needed to Add Trailer Hitch Load Extender to 2017 Honda Fit
  
• The Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24920 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Honda Fit and will work well for you. However it's a Class I hitch so the Class II MaxxTow Adapter # MT70032 will not fit in the hitch. They're both 1-1/4 inches but the Draw-Tite has a stopper inside of it to prevent you from overloading the Class I hitch with Class II accessories. Instead you can use the Brophy # HTAD. Then you will be able to install the MaxxTow Load Extender # MT70231. You'll also need to be mindful...

• Class I Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2018 Toyota Prius Prime to Avoid Need for Using Hitch Adapter
  
• The MaxxTow Aluminum 2-Inch Hitch Cargo Carrier # MT70108 could be used with a 1-1/4-inch to 2-inch hitch adapter like Brophy # HTAD or # HT5R but use of such adapters will cause you to lose half of your hitch's capacity. This loss comes from the actual load being moved further away from the hitch tube, which increase leverage on the hitch. The 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches made for your 2018 Prius Prime, Draw-Tite # 24966 and Curt # C11473, have a 200-lb tongue weight (TW) rating which...

• Can an Adapter be Used to Carry a 2 Bike Rack in 1-1/4 Receiver on a Mazda CX-5
  
• I do have a solution for you to carry both of your bikes with your Mazda CX-5 but unfortunately an adapter like part # HTAD isn't the way that I recommend going. Not only does it cut the weight rating of your trailer hitch in half, it will also cause your bike rack to have more movement during travel. Since we don't carry Allen bike racks we don't have an adapter so instead I recommend changing out your bike rack for something like the Yakima HoldUp # Y02445 which fits a 1-1/4" receiver...

• Recommended Cargo Carrier and Bag for 55 lb Portable Power Wheelchair on 2016 Ford Mustang
  
• For a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, your options are definitely more limited. There are no cargo carriers with ramps available for that size, so you will need to use a hitch expander like # HTAD. Then for a carrier you will need a lightweight option because the adapter will reduce your hitch's 200 lb tongue weight capacity by up to 50%. For your carrier, the best option is the MaxxTow 27x47 Cargo Carrier w/ Pivoting Ramp # MT70100 that weighs 54.5 lbs. To keep your wheelchair clean, I...

• 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter for 2009 Hyundai Sonata
  
• The only 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adapter that is available to use with the Class I Curt # C11325 trailer hitch on your 2009 Hyundai Sonata is the Brophy # HTAD. Please keep in mind this will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so the combined capacity of your wheelchair carrier and wheelchair would not be able to exceed 100 lbs. If you want to keep the 200 lb capacity of your hitch you need a new cargo carrier that is Class I compatible such as the Curt # C18110...

• 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Adapter for 2007 Lexus IS 350
  
• We have not yet had a chance to test fit the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11372 on a 2007 Lexus IS 350 so I would not be able to guarantee the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R will be able to give you the rise you want while clearing your bumper. That said, when we test fit the Curt hitch on a 2012 IS 350, which is the same generation as your 2007, it measured 5-1/2" from the hitch pin hole to your bumper, and the Brophy adapter extends 7" which means it...

• How to Determine Clearance Needed for Swagman Hitch Bike Rack S64152-2
  
• It sounds like you have been using the 2-inch Swagman Original bike rack # S64152-2 with a 1-1/4-inch to 2-inch hitch extender/adapter like # HTAD or # HT5R. Both of these adapters allow 2-inch accessories to be used in a 1-1/4-inch hitch. While these items do both adapt size and provide extension (and the # HT5R also adds rise for more ground clearance) all such adapters will add potential for more motion of the loaded accessory, just as you noted. The other downside to adapters like...

• Using 2 Inch Accessory with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  
• If you are needing to use a 2 inch accessory such as a ball mount or bike rack with a 1-1/4 inch receiver on your vehicle you will need to use an adapter between the two. We have a nice selection of 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapters available, such as the excellent Brophy # HTAD or the # HT5R that also provides 5 inches of rise. This will insert into the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your vehicle to provide a 2 inch receiver on the other end to which you can install the accessory. Please just...

• Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda CR-V to Use 2 inch Hitch Bike Rack
  
• We have the # HTAD which converts a 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch but since these adapters cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent and add some movement this isn't an ideal solution. Instead the customers best option would be a 2 inch hitch like the # 76128 which will work directly with the bike rack.

First, if your VW Golf happens to be the GTI or R model then we do have a 2 inch trailer hitch available.

• What is the Best Extender for a Draw-Tite Hitch Installed on a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST?
  
• The Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD, is 7-1/4" long and adapts a 2" attachment to fit into a 1-1/4" reciever that will give a bit of extra length to your bike rack and additionally get you further away from the fascia when you install your bike rack. When you use any hitch adapter, your tongue weight (TW), or the downward force that your reciever can support, is cut by 50%. For example, Draw-Tite's Sportframe Trailer Hitch, part # 24961, has a tongue weight of 200lbs. With an...

• Folding Cargo Carrier For 2018 Kia Soul With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  
• There is a way for you to use a folding cargo carrier on your 2018 Kia Soul that has a trailer hitch with a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch installed, which will be either the the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24915 or Curt Trailer Hitch # C11419, as both will fit your '18 Soul. Along with these trailer hitches you will have to use the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD, which is the only adapter that can be used in a Class I hitch. It should also be noted that the use of...

• How to Carry a Mobility Scooter with a 1999 Toyota Camry
  
• I do have an option for you but the highest rated trailer hitch receiver they make for a 1999 Toyota Camry is a Class II, to my knowledge. I would be very skeptical that a Class III or IV exists due to the size of the vehicle. For a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36336. This trailer hitch has a 300 lb tongue weight (TW) rating however, the vehicle is likely lower and if that is the case then this will need...

This will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and it has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. Please note that Curt does require that stabilizing straps like # 18050 be used for non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers. I have included a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works. You...

• Compatibility of 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver with 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i 4 Door Sedan
  
• At this time there is not a 2 inch hitch option available for your 2008 Subaru Impreza sedan from any of our manufacturers. The EcoHitch # 306-X7261 is a fit for the WRX models, but is not compatible with your Sedan. I reached out to the manufacturer and although they haven't tested it for a fit, they think the frame would line up but the trim would be an issue. There is not a 2 inch option available for your vehicle as it has a very limited capacity, so only Class I hitches like...

• Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Work On a 2016 Coachmen Orion Motorhome
  
• The use of a hitch adapter such as the Brophy Hitch Expander part # HTAD or part # HT5R will reduce the trailer hitch's capacity by 50%. Therefore, your new weight capacity is 100 lbs if using either of the above. The Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # c31006 weighs around 15 lbs therefore so long as the weight of your spare wheel/tire does not exceed 85 lbs then you will be okay to go ahead with this. That said, I really don't see any other option to carry a spare...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Sizes Available for A 2017 Hyundai Ioniq
  
• The hitch options for the 2017 Hyundai Ioniq are Class I, 1-1/4" inch hitches. There is not a 2 inch receiver available because the Ioniq is not designed to handle the weight capacity of a 2 inch receiver. I recommend Draw-Tite hitch part # 24963 because Draw-Tite hitches do not require the use of a stabilization strap when using a bike rack. If you have a bike rack or cargo carrier with a 2 inch shank it is possible to use a 1- 1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter. A hitch adapter we carry...

• Recommended Hitch Extender for Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch and 2 Inch Bike Rack
  
• The Draw-Tite # 24857 for your 2008 BMW is only rated for Class I. This means the only options to have your bike rack fit are the # HTAD or the # HT5R that are compatible with Class I hitches. You will limit the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of your hitch to 100 lbs because the adapter will reduce the hitch's tongue weight by 50%. That new 100 lb capacity will need to include the weight of your bike carrier as well as the loaded bikes. I also recommend using a hitch lock like # 1472DAT...

• Can Bike Rack for 2 inch Hitch be Used in Draw Tite Class I Hitch # 24949
  
• The issue with hitch adapters is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent and add quite a bit of movement. They really aren't an ideal solution but the part # HTAD will work in a Class I hitch like the # 24949. You should note too that the weight of this adapter is 7 bls. So if you add up the weight of your bikes and the rack plus the adapter you are at 101 lbs which would be 1 lb over the reduced capacity of the hitch at 100 lbs. Your best solution...

This will provide you with the needed 2" receiver and you can use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to secure it to your vehicle and reduce rattle/movement at the connection. Please just keep in mind that using an adapter like this decreases the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. Just be sure that...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Focus
  
• All of the available trailer hitches for your 2017 Ford Focus Hatchback SE are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This is most likely because the vehicle itself simply does not have the capacity that a higher class trailer hitch (and larger receiver opening) will provide. For your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11158. This is custom fit for your Ford Focus and I have attached the installation details for you to check out.

There is not a 2 inch hitch receiver available for your vehicle. Trailer hitch manufacturers tend to design their hitches to closely match the capacity of the vehicles they are designed to fit on. Trailer hitches with larger 2 inch receiver openings will have higher weight capacities, which is likely why there...

• Trailer Hitch Needed to Carry 2 Bikes with a 2006 Scion xB
  
• You are correct that an adapter will need to be used to carry an accessory when the Draw-Tite Invisi-Hitch # 28501 is installed on your 2006 Scion xB . This is due to the vertical configuration of the hitch receiver. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11487 will have less clearance from where the hitch receiver is located, but since your bike rack will install directly into the hitch receiver you will not see as much play. Since the Curt warranty requires a support strap, like part...

• RockyMount MonoRail 2 Platform Rack for 2009 Honda CR-V

You'll need to check your owner's manual to confirm but you likely have a Class I hitch with a 200-lb tongue weight, so using an adapter will only allow you to carry 100-lbs total safely on the hitch.

The trailer hitch receivers we carry for your Impreza, like the Draw-Tite # DT24959, are all Class I hitches and will need an expander to fit the Yakima HoldUp for 2 Inch Hitch Receivers # Y02443. Using an expander, like the Brophy # HTAD, will give you a 2 inch receiver opening but it will also reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. That puts your maximum tongue weight at no more than 100 pounds using the Draw-Tite...
