Great. Extended my hitch just enough to keep my truck bumper from hitting my v-nose trailer. It greatly reduces the weight ratio, but length works out great.
David L - 01/27/2021Works well, allows for oversized spare tire on the back of the Jeep to clear the teardrop trailer tongue jack. *** Packaging was horrible. Placed in a cardboard box w/ no packing material, box was destroyed on arrival, and damaged / chipped paint. If you are going to charge us for shipping at least package the product so it will not be destroyed in normal shipping ***
Sierra K - 08/19/2021I purchased this extension to use with my front end Curt Class 3 receiver hitch. This setup was installed for use of my Warn Wench that is installed in a portable receiver cradle that I use on either the front or rear of my truck. I chose this extension because of the solid shank that made it stronger than most other I shopped. As all extensions reduce the hitch weight rating, this one provided the least amount of reduction. I am very happy with my purchase and it works as advertised.
have ordered and used this device before. What is disgraceful is the respect shown toward products shipped from etrailer. While the two devices/parts I ordered probably could have through a war zone without any damage, the fact is IF they are beaten out of the box while in shipping is not right. Add some appropriate packing. Grade F on your packaging.
Great product, excellent website, very user friendly (the "how to" videos were especially helpful in making sure the product I was ordering was the right one), highly responsive customer relations department. The hitch extender worked correctly the first time, and fits perfectly with my new Thule bike rack (see photos). I highly recommend eTrailer!
I got this for my side by side as the receiver was mounted too far underneath the unit to be practical. This adapter moved it out to just the right spot. I use my SxS to move my trailers around my property mostly, & it works great.
Bought a new car, and the lift gate was larger than last model. Bam! Ran right into my bike rack. So I ordered this hitch extension, and viola, the bike rack is now about 6' further out from the lift gate, and everything works great. Bonus: I don't have to manipulate the bike handlebar to open the lift gate. Excellent quality, and tight fit. I used a bolt rather than a cotter pin to attach the bike rack, as I could crank it down a bit better to reduce sway and noise.
The shaft length of a standard insert for a receiver hitch was too short to allow towing a 96 gallon trash can because the trash can lid was wedged against the tailgate of the ATV. The hitch extender has added sufficient length that the lid hinge can be dropped onto the trailer ball without being wedged against the tailgate.
David - 11/24/2018Received the 8” extension and it does exactly what I needed it to do. Matches up nicely with the Curt hitch on my SUV. Now I need not worry about how closely my trailers come to the rear end. Fast delivery and great support.
I have yet to use it because the trailer is winterized and in storage. I anticipate the extension will do the intended job. etrailer was awesome in the customer service department since the box originally delivered was empty(no extension or anything else in the box). I called immediately and they reshipped the extension the same day. The effort on their part to make a customer happy was extraordinary!
Put a receiver underneath my travel trailer and I needed to Ring the receiver out 8 inches from underneath the trailer and it fit perfect and it’s heavy duty And with the anti-rattle device I got from etrailer it works perfect.
The hitch extension is heavy duty and I’m extremely happy with the quality. Service was superb and received the product in 2 days. Happy, happy, happy. Before and after photos are included.
Mike L - 04/06/2018My UTV’s hitch receiver is so far under the bed that it makes hooking up anything with a ball mount nearly impossible. Enter the Curt Hitch Extender, which provided a solid, heavy-duty extra bit of reach for my hitch. I paired it with the Curt Ball Mount for 2" ATV Hitches - 2" Ball and Clevis Bar (C44009) and I can hook up pretty much anything I need.
The hitch extender arrived on time (actually earlier than promised) and packaged very well. I've ordered other items from etrailer before with the same excellent service. Reason enough to continue doing business with them. Great job folks!!
looks good fits good put the end of hitch one in. back of lie. plate. Tried to finish review off hitch but the space is bad wont take anymore words.
Weld was sloppy, could not fit deep enough into hitch to secure with pin, had to take grinder and grind 3/4 inch of sloppy eels to make it fit
Way too much play between it and the receptacle. I use it for a bicycle rack and the whole thing wobbles too much. I still use it, but it's unnerving.
Exactly what I needed. Works flawlessl y.
I ordered the wrong hitch for (8) Sprinters, but with a tad of alteration and this extender they worked. Got them quick!! Service is great and turnaround time is too!!
Ordered the Curt bolt on hitch for our 20015 Wrangler, along with the Curt Hitch Extender and the custom fit wiring from Curt. Never disappointed with Curt's quality and eTrailer's prompt delivery. All was securely packaged and the bolt on hitch was a breeze to install!
Harry - 07/09/2016Works great
Allows me to put my deer hoist out further from the tailgate, so I can lower my tailgate and get my deer out.
Arrived on time. Good product.
Had to have the hitch extender to fit my bike rack due to the spare tire mounted on the back of my Hummer H3. It really is a nice piece to have since there was no way I could fit my bike rack unless I removed that tire. The only issue I had with it was that I don't think it fit in my trailer hitch perfectly flush. Took a from from KC to Colorado and my bikes started swaying about half way through the trip. Had to stop at a hardware store and get a wrench to tighten the bolt that had come loose to stop the swaying. I now have to do that just about every time I use the hitch extender/bike rack or else it won't feel tight back there. Overall, I like the piece because I have to have it, but I was hoping that it would fit a bit more flush.
