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

by: Tom M08/05/2013

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.

Very heavy duty. Will use it with a bike rack I had for another vehicle that had a 2" receiver. 98904

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

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

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

by: Joseph03/08/2013

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: 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

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: David07/03/2018

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

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: Charles09/20/2018

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

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: Andrew09/11/2018

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: 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: Larry F05/21/2018

etrailer has some of the greatest customer service I have experienced in a long time , I ordered several things to outfit my toad and from start to finish they were a class company to work with . New customer for life ! 512029

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: Lance08/28/2018

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.

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.

by: 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
