Unfortunately this receiver adapter did not fit my Ford F250 3" hitch, way too tight.
Worked with Arthur from e-trailer to obtain a return/refund. After looking at reviews, I see many other folks had the same issue. If I were e-trailer I would pull this item from my product offering.
by: Chad07/31/2023
When I went to use this my bike rack would not fit in the 2" receiver because it was poorly made. Unfortunately it was well past etrailers 60 day return policy so they told me they would not help me. I contacted buyers myself and they were happy to help me and took the old one back and shipped me a new one that works great. If buyers did it for me, they certainly would have done it for etrailer but etrailer couldn't be bothered with it. I will buy buyers products again but will not buy anything from etrailer anymore. They also told me I would need to buy a whole new $XXX base for my bw companion hitch because the parts were not available. A quick call to bw and my. $XX parts were on their way. Again,poor service from etrailer. Back to local shops for me.

I bought this receiver adapter about a year ago. I pull a 26ft, 6500lb trailer with a load levelling hitch down to a jet ski, with individual ball receivers. The only difficulty is it won't handle all 3 positions of a 1-7/8", 2", & 2-5/16" triple head cluster, the pin holes in the adapter are too close.

Fits loosely into my new 2021 Ford F350 Super Duty. Although it fits easy enough, it is sloppy and rattles a bit. Of course my Equalizer had a slight looseness in my old truck too. Now I am a little concerned that the adaptor slop will compound with the Equalizer movement to cause an unsafe condition. I'd rate it higher if I knew it would be totally safe and not compromise tongue weight or towing. I wish it would fit snugger into the truck hitch.

The sleeve works well enough, I spoke with a parts dealer and he told me a trick to take out the looseness. I purchased some cheap plastic door wedges and drove them between the receiver and sleeve. It really makes a snug fit without any problems.
by: Robert07/16/2022
I tried to use this with four different 2 inch receivers and not one of them would fit. I would not purchase this product again or recommend to anyone else looking for a 3 inch to 2 inch adapter. I’m not sure how this manufacturer could let so many of them out into the marketplace when it simply does not work as advertised.

We did have this extender pulled to be tested and found that they had an engineering issue. I will have customer service team reach out to you. I recommend taking a look at part # e33YR as a replacement.
by: Robert10/20/2022
Unusable. Poorly constructed. Huge seam on inside which prevents the insertion of a 2” hitch. Only use is as a doorstop.
by: John07/20/2022
Will not fit any of my 2 inch hitches - the weld on the inside needs to be ground down for it to work. I even paid for overnight shipping as I needed it asap - guess I have to figure something out.

I am sorry that the hitch reducer is not working for you. We did have a batch from the manufacturer that was defective that is currently being corrected. I will have our customer service team reach out to you.

Unfortunately, the 2 receiver did not fit my 2 Kayak rack male end. The milling looked to be a mm or so off on the corners, preventing me from using the adaptor
by: Dana 07/05/2023
Order to delivery very quick Thank y ou
by: Brian04/16/2022
Just received this. I tried 4 different 2" hitches and none of them fit. I previously ordered this a month ago and that one didnt fit any of my hitches either. I reported that it looked like the outer flange that buyers product welded on was not in line with the 2" tubing. This one that e trailer sent me looks like the it has the same issues as before And, well guess what it still doesnt fit. 4 different hitches and none of them fit and they are standard over the counter 2" hitches. The problem is not on my end, it is buyers products and etrailer for sending me this unverified hunk of useless steel. I will be calling you to return this junk too. Not very happy.
by: Michael S.12/31/2021
I thought the fit was a little wobbly. I haven't used it yet and not sure how it"s supposed to fit. This is replacing a 3 to 2 1/2 to 2inch adapter. The hitch side is solid but the insert into the 3 inch is not as tight as I think it should be.

You can use an anti-rattle hitch like the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-12 Hitches - 3-12 Span Part # SHP2040-XL to lessen the wobble in your towing setup.

I recently purchased an F350 with a 3" receiver. I needed a reducer to install my bike rack. This reducer worked perfectly
by: WR10/19/2021
Very poor quality. I ordered the MaxxTow Adjustable Tri-Ball Mount MT70197 at the same time I ordered this 337RTA302 adapter. The MaxxTow cannot be inserted into this adapter because the inside of the adapter is not squared and not smooth. I have many 2 inch shanks with different size balls, none of them can be inserted into this adapter 337RTA302, but one shank that was forced into this adapter. Once I forced the shank into this adapter, still cannot insert the 5/8 pin because the pin holes on the adapter are out of alignment. I wasted time and money buying this product.

Previously I had to use two step down adapters. This adapter made lining up for to pin hole much easier. Good product and excellent etrailer service!

We needed an adapter for our RV to make our 3 inch receiver accept a 2 inch bike rack. The folks at etrailer were excellent. They explained what we needed and the price was very good also. I will definitely use them again
by: Michael08/01/2019
This adapter is perfect for using a 2" hitch in a 3" receiver. I have 2 adapter sleeves that came with my truck and my previous truck had a single sleeve to adapter 2.5" down to 2". The problem with these sleeves is that you can remove the hitch and forget to take out the sleeve, leaving it to fall out next time you drive the truck. This adapter forces you to take out the pin to remove hitch and adapter or take out the smaller pin to remove only the hitch. No chance of suffering from a brain fart.
by: Seth08/18/2019
Purchased this adapter for use on my 2019 F-350.
I have a Yakima Dr. Tray hitch mounted bike rack. This adapter works perfectly between the 3” ford receiver and the 2” hitch mounted rack that incorporates both locking mechanisms.
by: Walter04/12/2022
Chunk of steel. What can you say. Fits properly and allows use of smaller hitch with High Capacity receiver.
by: Douglas 03/26/2021
Good product for a fair price. I have a fifth-wheel hitch but needed this reducer to pull smaller bumper pull trailers.
by: Kelly08/11/2021
Very poor quality. It took an hour of grinding out the inside to get a 2" insert to fit into it. It did fit into the 3" trailor hitch with no modification necessary. In the end it works. Very disapontied.
by: Richard06/27/2019
Works as advertised so far. Makes it much easier to use my 2" hitches including the rock tamers which protect my RV 5th wheel and other trailers.
by: Scott03/20/2019
I was received well on the phone. The person helping me was friendly and professional both. She was able to help take care of my product in need and sending back one I thought was right. Would definitely buy future products from them. They totally have it together there at etrailer.

Just as described and fast

Fits well. I have pulled trailers both heavy and light and am fully satisfied.

- Adapter to Get my 3 Inch Receiver to a 2 Inch Receiver Tube OpeningThe Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter part # 337RTA302 is a good option to reduce your 3" receiver tube opening to a 2" receiver tube opening.
view full answer... - Is There A 3 Inch Hitch Receiver To 2 Inch Receiver Sleeve Reducer Available?Absolutely. For your 3 inch receiver, I recommend the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter Item # 337RTA302. This will allow you to use your Tow Bar without issue.
view full answer... - Looking for 3 Inch to 2 Inch Hitch Receiver Reducer With 3/4 Inch Hitch Pin HoleI have a solution that would work for you I'd use the # 337RTA302 Buyers Products reducer you'd looked at and enlarge the hitch pin holes to 3/4 using a well-lubricated drill bit so the metal doesn't heat up too much.
view full answer... - Availability Of 3" to 2" Trailer Hitch ReducerWe sure do! We have the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 which fits in your 3" receiver and allows you to use your current 2" hitch accessories. The # 337RTA302 has a maximum tongue weight rating of 1200lbs, and a maximum trailer weight rating of 12000lbs. I included a video of the # 337RTA302 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Adapter to Use Weight Distribution with 3 inch HitchSince at this time there isn't a weight distribution shank that fits the 3 inch hitch size your best option would be the 3 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter part # 337RTA302 which will work directly with the shank you have now.
view full answer... - Solution For Using Weight Distribution System in 3 inch Trailer HitchWe have the Buyer's Products Adapter # 337RTA302. This adapter reduces a 3 inch hitch receiver to a 2 inch receiver opening which is the common weight distribution shank size like the part # 17120.
view full answer... - 2 inch Hitch that Fits 2020 Ford F-250 for Use with Bike RackHitch adapters do unfortunately create a lot of unwanted movement. The only way to get around that would be to replace your 3 inch hitch on your 2020 Ford F-250 with a 2 inch hitch like the part # 41931 which is a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Hitch Sleeve for 2021 Ford F-350 to Convert 3 Inch Hitch to 2 Inches with Correct Hitch Pin SizeThe Buyers Product Adapter # 337RTA302 will reduce 3" to 2" but it has not been tested with a weight distribution system. Instead you could use the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408 to convert your 3-inch hitch on your 2021 Ford F-350 to a 2-inch hitch with a 5/8 inch hitch pin.
view full answer... - Is It Safe To Tow and What Is Weight Capacity When Using Buyers Product Receiver Adapter # 337RTA302Yes, it is safe to tow with the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302. This reducer will reduce the 3 Inch opening on your hitch to a 2 Inch opening. I contacted our representative at Buyers Products, and he informed me that the adapter will not cut down the weight or the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. Part # 337RTA302 does not extend out far enough to reduce the weight capacity, as would be the case with a hitch extender. He said, that as long as you use a...
view full answer... - Adapter to Fit 3 inch Hitch of 2017 Ford F-350 and Provide 2 inch HitchThe correct adapter for the 3 inch hitch on your 2017 Ford F-350 down to a 2 inch hitch is the Buyers Products adapter part # 337RTA302 as it has the correct diameter for the hitch pin of 5/8 inch. Everything else we offer does not match this size.
view full answer... - Correct 3 to 2 Hitch Reducer for Ford OEM 3 HitchI do have an option for you but the Reducer Sleeve for Super Titan Hitch Receivers part # 38735 does not work with any of the Ford OEM 3" Hitches. Instead, I recommend the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter part # 337RTA302 which is confirmed to fit.
view full answer... - 3 Inch to 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Reducer for 2019 Ford F-350 Super DutyThat's a good question and to reduce the 3" receiver in your 2019 Ford F-350 to a 2" receiver I recommend using the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302. The reason is, this is a single-piece reducer which will be simpler to use than having to mess with both a sleeve and a reducer. It also completely eliminates the chance of forgetting you had a sleeve in the receiver and having it fall out, as wisely noted by one of our customers. I have added a link to a video...

- Can the Buyers Products Receiver Adapter # 337RTA302 be used with Weight DistributionYes, as long as you don't exceed the weight capacity of the Buyers Products Receiver Adapter # 337RTA302 you can use it with a weight distribution system. The # 337RTA302 has a 12,000 lbs total trailer weight capacity and a 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity.
view full answer... - 3 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter for Use with Weight DistributionFor a 3 inch hitch to 2 inch hitch adapter we have the part # 337RTA302. This will work great with your Fastway weight distribution system.
view full answer... - 3" Reducer Availability With a 3/4" Hitch Pin Hole For a Reese Super Titan Trailer Hitch ReceiverCurrently the only reducer with a 3/4" hitch pin hole is the 3" to 2" Reducer # 38735. This is due to the Reese Super Titan being the only receiver which uses the 3/4" hitch pin hole. All other 3" and 2-1/2" receivers use the more common 5/8" hitch pin. And at this time Reese does not have one for a 3" to 2-1/2".
view full answer... - Adapter For 3 Inch Hitch Receiver to 2 Inch Ball MountThere is an adapter for your 3 inch trailer hitch receiver that will allow you to use a ball mount with a 2 inch shank: - Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 This will fit right in your 3" hitch and allow you to use your ball mount with a 2" shank. And the best part is, unlike other hitch reducers, this one will not reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, though it does have a 12,000 lbs towing and 1,200 lb tongue weight capacity. To secure it to your...
view full answer... - Is There a Hitch Adapter For a 2" Receiver to a 2 1/2" Riser HitchI have a solution for you if you are needing a riser hitch. There are no hitch adapters for you to connect your 2" receiver to the 2 1/2" riser hitch you bought. Actually, even if there were an adapter available you would cut your towing capacity in half by using one. I have added a link to the adjustable ball mounts that will fit the 2" receiver on your 2005 Ford F-250. I recommend the Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 9" Rise to 10-1/4" Drop # TK5007, because the shank provides...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Reducer for 3 Inch Receiver and Weight Distribution HitchI recommend using the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 which will give you an additional length of 3-7/8 inches from hitch pin hole to hitch pin hole. This allows using only one adapter and additional adapters may weaken the tongue weight of your trailer hitch so I don't recommend using two. This adapter is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 1,200 lbs.
view full answer... - How to Use Weight Distribution Hitch With 2 Inch Shank In 3 Inch Hitch ReceiverYou can use your Reese weight distribution hitch with a 2 inch shank with your vehicle that has a 3 inch hitch receiver, but there isn't a 3 inch shank so you can simply use a hitch reducer, which also has the benefit of being much more economical than a brand new shank. What you can use is the following: - Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 You can also secure this adapter to your hitch with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Lock # 63260.
view full answer... - 3 Inch to 2 Inch Reducer to Use Weight Distribution with 3 Inch Receiver on a Ford F-250The Buyers Products adapter # 337RTA302 is the only one that goes from a 3 inch hitch down to a 2 inch and works with your F-250. When using the adapter though the hitch is limited to 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have linked a video review of this adapter for you. I also recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Lock for 3 inch hitches # 63259. It is a 5/8 inch diameter pin for the large 3 inch hitches.
view full answer... - 3 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter for use with Yakima Bike RackThe closest option we have to what you are looking for is the Buyers Products Hitch Adapter part # 337RTA302 which goes from a 3 inch hitch size to a 2 inch hitch size and has an extension of 3-7/8 inches.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Reducer Sleeve 3 Inch To 2-1/2 Inch Or 2 Inch I have the perfect trailer hitch reducer for you! The Trailer Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch or 2 inch # e33YR. These adapter sleeves let you use your 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch hitch-mounted accessories with your 3 inch hitch receiver. It is made out of a durable steel that has a matte black powder finish that resists corrosion. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Is It Possible To Use A 2 Inch Bike Rack On A 3 Inch Hitch Receiver?I have a solution for you, but the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH83JV will not work with a receiver reducer sleeve since the bike rack's locking hitch hook will not fit around that 3" receiver opening. I recommend looking into the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 as this will be your only option. This will extend the 3" receiver while converting it to 2" so that the Thule bike rack can fit and lock into place. I attached a couple demonstration...
view full answer... - Is it Safe to Use More Than One Reducer Sleeve to Go From 3" to 2" Receiver SizeIt's definitely okay to use 2 sleeves to reduce your 3" receiver down to a 2" receiver. We actually have our Reducer Sleeve Kit # e33YR which this setup. If you'd feel safer with 1 solid piece then it sounds like you're wanting the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 which does give you a little bit of extension but also means you aren't using 2 pieces just to get down to the desired receiver size. Attached are review videos of each product for you to check out.
