• Hitch Extender for 10,000 lb Travel Trailer Compatibility
  I wish you would have asked this question prior to your purchase of the Curt Extender # C45791, because this extender will not work for your application. It is rated for the 3,500 lb total trailer weight towing capacity and because it is an adapter will also decrease your tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50%. Instead, you may want to consider the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20. This ball mount is capable of towing 10,000 lbs and has a measurement of 13-1/4 inches...

• How To Mount Thule Bike Rack On Volvo XC90 With Short Receiver
  Hi Emily! The Yakima StraightShot # Y69VR won't be a good fit since you'll run into the same issue with the shallow receiver on your Volvo XC90. Instead, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender # C45791. This only requires 2" of space behind the center of the hitch pin hole, so it will fit the limited depth on your hitch. It will also give you an additional 8" of clearance for your Thule bike rack. Keep in mind, using this hitch extender will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 25%, so need...

• Bolt-On Trailer Mounted Leg Replacement Rated For 5,000lbs
  I believe you're referring to is the Pro Series Round, Pipe-Mount Swivel Jack # PS1401440303, and the pipe this mounts too cannot be bolted on, it must be welded on. For this reason I recommend the Fulton Marine Jack - Square Tube, Fixed Mount # HD50000101. This jack has a capacity of 5,000lbs and has a total lift of 28"; this jack is used on trailer frames up to 3" wide and 5" tall.

• Solution for Using Aventon Bike Rack with Stealth Hitch with Shallow Hitch Tube
  That's a bummer, we might have a solution with the Curt hitch extender part # C45791 as long as your hitch tube has at least 4-1/2 inches from it's pin hole center to back of the tube. Otherwise you'd have to look into a different bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202.

  The Receiver Mount for Advantage SportsRack V-Rack 2 Bike Carrier - 2" Hitches # HE6007 has a measurement of 6-1/4 inches from hitch pin hole to tube end. This will not be long enough to even clear your bumper with some of the hitches available for your 2014 Honda Odyssey as you can see in the attached video.

• Can I Use My 2 Aventon Adventure Lectric Step-Thru E-Bikes With the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR?
  From the sounds of your question, I assume you are talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. If this is the rack you are referring to, yes! It works with 20" diameter tires as long as you have the adapter # HLY24FR for each bike. This adapter does not come with the rack itself. This rack is a great choice because it has a super high 80 pound per bike weight capacity. It also accommodates fat bike tires up to 5 inches wide (if you have them). As far as your step-thru...

• Can the Blue Ox Hitch Extender Be Used for Towing a Trailer
  I do have a hitch extender for you that can be used for towing a trailer but the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars part # BX88265 that you referenced is intended for flat-towing only as with most of Blue Ox products for that matter. The 10,000 lb maximum towing capacity that this extender has is in regards to the weight of the towed vehicle in a flat-tow setup, not the weight of a trailer in a bumper pull setup. I do however understand how that can be confusing. If you need to use a...

• Recommended Hitch Extender to Clear a Spare Tire When Towing a Trailer
  Hey Jennifer, welcome back! To clear the spare tire on your 2023 Bronco Sasquatch, I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Receiver Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches item # GY89SR. This 14" extender will clear your spare tire and has a 2" receiver on the end of it for a ball mount. We also have the 8" Long item # C45791 that would also work. You'll want to measure from the hitch pin hole on your Bronco's hitch to the outer most portion of your spare tire to see which one is going to work the...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Hitch Extender on 2017 Nissan Murano
  The Curt Hitch Extender # C45791 will give you an additional 8" of room (measured from hitch pin hole to hitch pin hole) though please keep in mind that an extender is going to reduce the capacity of your current hitch by 50 percent. So if you had Curt hitch # C13205, for example, on your 2017 Nissan Murano, its towing capacity would go from 3,500 lbs to 1,750 lbs and its tongue weight capacity would be reduced from 350 lbs to 175 lbs. If you do have enough capacity even with the reduction,...

• Height of Vertical Square Tube on RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Rack # RKY10002
  From the center of the hitch pin hole to the top of that small vertical post at the end of the shank on the RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002 there is a distance of 4-3/8 inches. I have attached an image to assist. You can use this measurement to ensure the tailgate on your Tacoma will drop all the way down with the rack attached and the platform swung away to the side. I have included a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can check out as well.

• Hitch Extension Compatibility With Front Hitch on 2013 Ford F150 for Winch Mount Fit
  For your Warn Zeon 10 Winch on your 2013 Ford F-150, the Curt front mounted receiver # C31068 has a vertical load of 500 lbs and a line pull ratting of 9,000 lbs. Because of the recessed receiver, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 which reduces that vertical load limit by 50% and brings it to 250 lbs. I recommend using hitch lock # e98880 and getting the pins keyed alike by selecting that from the box on the product page.

• What Hitch Bike Rack Do You Recommend for a 2021 Mercedes GLC?
  For a bike rack that fits your 2-inch trailer hitch on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC, it really depends on if you have heavier bikes, bikes with fenders, and the number of bikes that you wish to transport. If you have heavier bikes or bikes with fenders, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR200Z (2-bike version) and the # HR1400Z (4-bike version). the Sport Rider SE has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds, and the frame attachment style of the rack will allow you...

• Hitch Extender Recommendation for Towing Trailer with Truck Camper
  Instead of using a tongue extender for your trailer you could use a hitch extender like the part # C45791 to basically get the same effect. This is an 8 inch extender that would work well for you. You should note that using an adapter like this will cut the capacity of the hitch on your truck in half.

• Will the RockyMounts Westslope 3 Bike Rack Fold Up on a 2011 Rav4 with a Spare Tire?
  I have a solution for you. If you have a compatible 2-inch hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98864, the distance between the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the spare tire on your 2011 Toyota RAV 4 is about 8 inches. With that distance, the RockyMounts WestSlope 3 # RKY10223 will interfere with the spare tire because there is only 5 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the rack when it is folded up....

• Can Hitch Extender Be Used with Small Trailer Towing Lawn Equipment
  The deal with hitch extenders is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent due to the added length and leverage. If your tow vehicle has twice the towing capacity as what your trailer will weigh this adapter part # C45791 would work well. This adapter by itself has a capacity of 3,500 lbs so the adapter would easily work on a 2,500-3,000 lb trailer.

• Recommended Hitch Extender for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Carrying Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
  I can tell you have been doing some research and know what you are looking for. Just as a blanket statement, any hitch extender will reduce the tongue weight of your trailer hitch receiver even if it has a higher weight capacity, like the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender # RM-071-1075 that you referenced. Both the Curt # C45791 and the Brophy # HE06 options will still cause some play by themselves because of the weight sitting further out from your trailer hitch pin hole. What I...

• Will the Yakima On-Ramp LX fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Without a Hitch Extension
  By the looks of it, Randy, the Yakima OnRamp LX # Y88DJ appears as if it will hit the spare so I'd use a hitch extender # C45791 to push the rack out farther so it won't hit the spare. I'd recommend measuring first to see if you'd even need the extender; if you have less than 12" from the center of the hitch pin hole to your spare, then you're going to need an extender. Also, using a hitch extender is going to cut your hitch's capacity by 50% so keep that in mind.

• 8" Hitch Extender Needed For Rear Hatch Clearance On A 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450
  Hi Keith, A hitch extender could be used to gain extra clearance, but this places more leverage on the trailer hitch receiver, thus reducing its capacity. The general rule of thumb of that any hitch adapter/extender will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%. Curt's site lists that any adapter under 12" would be a 25% reduction and and anything over 12" would be a 50% reduction. Personally, I would feel safer assuming you'd have a 50% reduction because the cargo carrier is going to...

• Effect of Using Extra-Long Ball Mount for Towing
  Use of an extra-long ball mount like # 80232 will not reduce a hitch's towing weight capacity the way that use of a separate extender/adapter will. Extenders like # C45791 and # D-192 actually do reduce the hitch towing capacity by 50-percent. Weight distribution hitch systems such as # C17501 should not be used with any type of hitch extender or adapter. A friction sway control unit like # 83660 can be used with an extra-long ball mount like # 80232 by adding a sway control bracket like...

• Why Does Use of Hitch Adapter/Extender Reduce Hitch Tongue Weight and Trailer Weight Ratings
  Any type of hitch adapter or extender will have the unavoidable side-effect of causing a loss of about half of your hitch's rated capacity, both its tongue weight (TW) and it's gross towing weight (GTW). Hidden Hitch extender # HE18 and Curt Hitch Extender # C45791 both cause a loss of capacity because they change the geometry of the hitch set-up. The added length of the adapter will allow greater leverage to be applied to the hitch tube by the attached trailer or accessory; this is what...

• Can a Dual Hitch Adapter and Hitch Extender Be Used Together For Towing with a Bike Rack
  I do have an option for you but you cannot use multiple hitch adapters together like the dual hitch adapter part # D-192 and the hitch extender part # C45791 for example. This would create too weak of a connection point and would limit your towing capacity to almost nothing. If you need to tow a trailer and haul a bike rack at the same time a much better option for you would be with the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210 or the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack part # LC429756. If you have a bumper...
