Worked as it should. Fitment is super tight on my 2020 F350. I would
buy this again.



by:

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.

There is another reducer part # C45408 that will work better for you.



by:

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.

Great service

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:

Good value, well made



by:

product worked out just fine / GREAT!!!



by:

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.



by:

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.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.

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:

Fit & finish as well as customer service was great! Very nice experience!



by:

Great service! Product is as advertised and great quality.



by:

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.



by:

Simple piece, but works as expected for my '22 Super Duty.



by:

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!

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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.



by:

Good product for a fair price. I have a fifth-wheel hitch but needed this reducer to pull smaller bumper pull trailers.



by:

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.

  • Will Using a Receiver Hitch Reducer Sleeve Reduce Tongue Weight Of Receiver?
    Using a Hitch Sleeve Reducer # BWRHXA2182 or # BWRHXA2183 will not reduce the capacity of your receiver. You will need to ensure you do exceed the weight capacity of the ball mount or other hitch mounted accessory that you are using. A sleeve like the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 will have its own weight capacity rating. For this sleeve it is 1,200lbs tongue weight and 12,000lbs trailer weight, so you will be limited to those weight capacities rather than...

  • Why Does the Buyers Products 3 to 2 Receiver Tube Adapter Reduce Weight Capacity
    In regards to the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter part # 337RTA302 which is a great option for a Ford F-350, the adapter will actually reduce the towing capacity of the trailer hitch and vehicle while in use to 12,000 lbs of gross trailer weight and 1,200 lbs of tongue weight. The reason that this adapter reduces capacity is because it extends the connection beyond the receiver. If you're looking for a reducer which does not reduce capacity, I recommend the Trailer Hitch...

  • Is it Safe to Use More Than One Reducer Sleeve to Go From 3" to 2" Receiver Size
    It'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.

  • Will Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack Fit 2024 Ford F-250 With 3" Receiver Using Adapter
    You can use the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR with your 3" receiver as long as the 3" to 2" adapter is like the # 337RTA302 where the tube sticks out with an additional hitch pin hole. If you were to use a reducer sleeve like # e33YR that shares a hitch pin hole with the 3" receiver the locking hitch pin wouldn't be able to fit.

  • Can Hollywood Racks RV Rider Fit in 3 inch Hitch and Still Use Hitch Lock
    To use the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR in a 3 inch hitch and allow you to still use the hitch lock you'd need a hitch reducer like the part # 337RTA302 which puts the 2 inch hitch out far enough from the 3 inch hitch for the pin and lock to fit through.

  • Hitch Pin Hole Size of Buyers Products 3 to 2 Receiver Tube Adapter
    The Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter part # 337RTA302 uses two 5/8" diameter hitch pin holes, on both the 3" and 2" receiver side. That said, the pin does need to be a bit longer than the standard ones on the 3" side, for this I recommend the Fastway Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # FA86-00-3160.

  • Recommended Hitch Extension For A 3 Hitch On A 2021 Ford F-250
    The 3" hitches Ford is using are throwing everyone for a bit of a loop. With that being said, I do have a couple options for you to check out. First will be the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension - 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch # TLE1636. This will measure 32 inches long, so it is longer than you need, but it is also rated up to 3,600 pounds towing and 360 pounds of tongue weight. This jumps up to 7,200 pounds towing and 720 pounds of tongue weight when a weight distribution system is...

It allows you to use a hitch pin to lock it in place inside your 3" receiver and then slide in your 2" ball mount or hitch mounted accessory. You will extend your hitch by 3-7/8" with this adapter. It is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 1,200lbs and a maximum trailer rating of 12,000lbs. A Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63259 is recommended if you wish to leave the reducer in...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Reducer Sleeve and Anti-Rattle Pin for 2017 F-250 With 3 Inch Receiver
    The Buyer's Products Adapter # 337RTA302 is a much better option than using multiple sleeves. The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL has a 3.54 inch pin span that will work if the outer edges of your receiver don't exceed that. The 3 inch pins like # WS05 only have that 3-1/2 inch span, so it should work and give you the anti-rattle stabilization as well but you may need to get a longer spring for easy installation.

  • Hitch Sleeve Extension and Reduction Adapter For Ford F350
    If your 2019 Ford F350 has a 3” receiver and you need to have a 2” adapter with it's own pin hole then the Buyers Products # 337RTA302 adapter will work for you. If you need an additional 5/8” hitch pin I would recommend the Buyers Products # 337HP6256WC hitch pin with clip . If you prefer a locking hitch pin then the Master Lock # ML1465DAT will work well. If your F350 has a 2-1/2” receiver then the Fastway # DTADP25-SS sleeve would work for your purpose. If you want a locking hitch...

  • 3 Inch to 2 Inch Reducer to Use Weight Distribution with 3 Inch Receiver on a Ford F-250
    The 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.

  • Recommended Hitch Extension For 2017 Ford F-350 With 3 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The hitch reducer we have for a 3 inch hitch receiver on a 2017 F-350 is the Buyer's Products Adapter # 337RTA302. This will give you only a 3-7/8 inch extension while reducing the size of your receiver opening. If you need a longer extension, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 which will give you an 8 inch extension but will also reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight rating by up to 50 percent like all hitch extenders do including the Blue Ox.

  • How To Use Equal-i-zer 1400/14000lb Weight Distribution Hitch In 2021 Ford F-350 W/ 3" Receiver
    I have another option for you, but due to the tongue weight of your trailer being right at the max 1200lb rating of the Buyers Products # 337RTA302, and your 2021 Ford F-350's 3" trailer hitch receiver having a hitch pin hole of 5/8" meaning it will not work correctly with the # C45408 I do not recommend either of these option. Instead I recommend using the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 3" to 2-1/2" # BWRHXA2183 to reduce your 3" receiver to 2-1/2", then replacing your shank with...

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...

If so then the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408 would be a better option for you help eliminate play.

This adapter will not reduce the capacity of your 3" hitch which is not all that important to a bike rack but should help if you also use it for 2" towing accessories.

    Since you want to avoid an adapter that uses 2 sleeves to get you from your 3" receiver down to the 2" shank size of your weight distribution (WD) system you can potentially use the 12K Buyers Products # 337RTA302. One thing to note is that this reducer has really not been tested with a WD system so you'll be sailing in uncharted territory. If you'd like an option is known to work with a WD system then you need to use the Curt Adapter # C45408 instead. Unfortunately there are no anti-rattle...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2015 Jayco Octane for Ford F350 with 3 inch Hitch
    Since you have a 3 inch hitch on your 2022 Ford F-350 and there aren't systems that fit that hitch size directly quite yet you'd need to use the adapter part # 337RTA302 to fit a system designed for a 2 inch hitch like the Equal-i-zer part # EQ64FR which would work great for your 2015 Jayco Octane since it has a tongue weight range of 1,200 to 1,600 lbs. This also has a 4 point friction sway control integrated into it.
