Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (84 Customer Reviews)

I have a Can Am Defender and the actual hitch is up under the back end so when I hooked up a trailer, I couldn't raise or lower the trailer without the crank handle hitting the tail gate, now I have plenty clearance and I love it.



by:

Works great and reasonably priced. etrailer Customer Service is absolutely the very best. My first shipment arrived missing the hitch extension. Customer Service quickly responded to my communications and shipped a replacement the same day.
As you can see from the photo the hitch extender is perfect for my Polaris Ranger and allows me to use my small lawn n yard implements.
I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

Works as expected. I’m happy with the q uality.



by:

The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers.
On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.



by:

perfect length for my specific application. Because the end piece is solid I was not able to insert an anti-rattle device into it. Therefore I will probably weld the extender to the double receiver since it'll be a permanent application.



by:

This extender does a pretty good job of keeping my bike away from the rear radar system in my Venza so the backup warning system does not engage in error. Beware it’s pretty heavy.

Still working as a year ago.



by:

Excellent rating. Prompt and accurate processing and delivery.



by:

This hitch adapter has worked perfectly as an extension for using a bike rack that extends past the trailer spare tire.



by:

The extension works perfectly on my class C motor home. Now my cargo carrier doesn't interfere with the back ladder.



by:

Curt’s brand, only the best! USA made, The shaft that goes into the hitch is solid steel not the hollow China crap. I used the hitch extension to make a rear hitch step 12” wide by 38” long for my ford van. I strap my kayaks on top for when we go camping this step just gives me that need height to get them in the kayak saddles before I climb on top to tie them down. I put two kayaks on top so the 38” across comes in handy. With my front hitch I can also put it in the front when I’m working on my van or truck to give me that extra hieght - I’m 6’ and I can’t reach a lot of stuff, even cleaning the windshield.



by:

I had a back ordered item that eventually came along with some other items I ordered at the same time. I’m not good about waiting but the wait was worth it as the entire order came a couple days ago and I immediately started using the items. Thanks for getting it right.

Works very well just like advertised.



by:

The weld looks solid, but needs ground down, or the hole drilled in a different location. The weld prevented the holes to line up. I had to go get a grade 5 1/2" bolt to secure it in place, rather than a hitch pin.



by:

I order a 14" steel (2" type) hitch extension and I received a heavy steel, well-made extension; as advertised. eTrailer found that upgraded faster shipping was available at the same price as regular slower shipping, so they upgraded me. Very nice service!



by:

It is pretty long so works well with exterior spare tire vehicles or if you want access to truck tailgates down with load extenders. Have not used it in that capacity as of yet.



by:

Works great had one on my Motorhome it broke had to buy a new one on the road way to long

Hasnt given me any problems yet

This product is well built and quality! It allows me to use the hitch platform on my Jeep liberty without having to remove the spare tire. Exactly what I was looking for and a quick delivery as well! Great investment.



by:

Good quality for fair price. The perfect extension I needed for my fifth wheel to install a bike raxk



by:

I had a problem with my order, which called for the order to be sent again. I received the second order in two days, which was greatly appreciated! The items I received were exactly what I wanted and high quality. The customer service to fix my order problem was excellent!



by:

Thank you for your email, I was amazed how quick I received my item. Just bought a newtruck I tow an atv and on my old truck I dented up my tailgate from the device that lowers and raises the trailer, this extender did the trick, now the tailgate on my new truck won't get all screwed up.



by:

Product is just what we needed and we put it to use immediately with no problems. It enables us to freely engage the rear lift door of our vehicle with my handicap scooter loaded on it's carrier. Great for us.



by:

This product is solid and clearly can handle the weight load as stated.



by:

Worked great ! Solved problem opening tailgate on jeep tj with spare tire mounted. Opens enough to reach in .



by:

Fits trailer perfectly...arrived in ti.ely fashion...thank you



by:

Box was damaged and there was no item in box I already called and spoke to a nice customer service lady

Just what it says fits great. eTrailer is fast and easy as always. Great experience shopping with.

  • Comparing Gen-Y and Curt 14 Long Hitch Extenders For a 2 Receiver
    The Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender # GY89SR is far superior to the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795. The Gen-Y is made in the USA, comes with a lifetime warranty and as you pointed out has the higher 10,000lb trailer capacity with up to 500lbs of tongue weight. The Curt is only rated for 3,500lbs of trailer weight and 350lbs of tongue weight. It also only comes with a 1-year warranty. For weight the Gen-Y only weighs 16lbs while the Curt weighs 18lbs.

    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.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch for 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Work to Provide Turning Clearence While Towing
    The Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches part # C45795 provides a 14" extension when measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole on one side to the other. I can't say for sure if this will provide the turning clearance you need but if you take a few measurements that should give you your answer. That said, there are stipulations to using an adapter and that's reduced capacity. The adapter will reduce the capacity of the hitch/vehicle to 350 lbs tongue weight and 3,500 lbs gross...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender For 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited To Allow Kuat NV To Clear Spare Tire
    For your Kuat NV # NV22G and your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. This will allow your bike rack to clear your spare tire when folded up, but you will want to note that using a hitch adapter like this will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.

  • Hitch Extender Availability To Allow Folding Carrier to Fold Up
    The shortest hitch extender we offer is the part # C45791 which will give you an additional 8 inches of extension. Without knowing more details about your setup it's hard to say for sure if that would give you enough clearance but I would be wiling to be it is if what you have now almost would fold up. You should note that when you use an extension like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch it is used on in half. To prevent movement of this extension in the hitch you would...

  • Recommended 24x60 Cargo Carrier For Jeep Wrangler Compatible With Spare Tire
    For your Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the 24x60 etrailer Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs of capacity # e98874. It has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole of your trailer hitch receiver to the closest part of your carrier of 19-1/2 inches when in use and 9-1/2 inches in the folded postition. It is 5-1/2 inches deep so you will be well under your spare tire and able to open your rear cargo door but it also has a tilt feature when in use. If this is not enough clearance,...

  • Hitch Extender for an Additional 14 Inches from Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Curt # C45795 is a 12-inch hitch extender for 2-inch hitch receivers. You didn't say why you need the extender but if you're using it to tow a trailer an extra-long ball mount like # EA40 might be another option.

    The ball mount (or stinger) is measured from the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball or the center of the hitch ball hole if there is not an integrated hitch ball. I've attached a video of the Brophy Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20 which shows the measurement of the ball mount for length. You also want to make sure you have the correct rise or drop to allow you to tow level. I've attached both a link to all your long shank ball mount options...

  • Hitch Extender Limitations For Bike Rack
    If you have a class III hitch receiver like # 75547 on your 2011 Honda CR-V then you'll be able to use an extension # C45795. Extensions will cut your hitches weight capacity in half so if you have a class I hitch like # C11555 you shouldn't use the extension. If you wanted to get more out of your extension, I would recommend getting the Kuat pivot 2 # PVP20B. This will give you FULL access to your back hatch whenever your parked getting ready for your ride or relaxing after a day on the trails.

  • Recommendation to Extend Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2014 Toyota Tundra
    We have a couple different options available that will help to extend the trailer hitch on your 2014 Toyota Tundra when towing your Jayco Travel Trailer. I first recommend looking at a ball mount that uses a longer shank, such as the Curt Ball Mount # D-26. This ball mount is 12-5/8 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. You can take a quick measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole on your truck to see if this will provide enough...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Bike Rack or Hitch Mounted Bike Rack with Vertical Mounting
    There is not a bike rack that will fit a spare tire that loads the bike vertically as you stated without an adapter. The Softride Hang 2 # SR27041 is the closest to what I think you are looking for, but you would need to add an extension like # C45795 for that application. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes. I've attached measurements to assist as well as a video.

  • How Much Does Hitch Extender Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity
    The answer is actually pretty simple, because using any type of hitch adapter, including a hitch extender, reduces the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent, and that includes both the towing capacity and the tongue weight capacity. I am not certain what the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is, but using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796 will reduce that...

  • Can Curt Cargo Carrier be Extended 14 Inch for use on Van With Spare Tire
    You can absolutely extend the 22-1/2x49 Aluminum Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18100- all you need is a 14" hitch extender and you'd be set. For that I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. If you meant that it was a total of 14" from the hitch pin hole to clear the spare tire, since the cargo carrier measures 10-3/4" from the hitch pin to the closest part of the carrier you could use a smaller extender, the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension...

  • Why Do Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch Capacity
    Hitch extenders like the Kuat # HL20B and similar items # C45791, # C45795 and # HE12 do give you more clearance to install a hitch accessory like the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 but the trouble is these extenders also reduce the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity by 50-percent. All adapters like these push the actual weight of the loaded bike rack further away from the hitch and this means the rack's weight will put more stress on the hitch. The extra connection point...

  • Recommended Hitch Extension for 2004 Ford F-350 with Camper Towing 7100 lbs Travel Trailer
    If you need 14 inches to clear your camper, you might be interested in the Curt # C45795. This hitch extender will give you 14 inches of clearance from your current pin hole location. Please note that using a hitch extender will decrease the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. It sounds like your vehicle has a weight capacity of 15000 lbs, and a tongue weight of 1500 which would be well within your weight limit even with the reduced capacity using the hitch extender....

If you need to use a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender part # C45795, this will reduce the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is not just the case for the above hitch and adapter but any you use with a hitch extender.

I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 which will decrease your hitch's tongue weight rating by 50% but will still give you all the capacity you need for even a 4-bike rack. I recommend securing this adapter with the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span # 63232 to keep the adapter firmly in place. If you are looking for a 4-bike rack,...

For an extension we have several options depending on how much room you actually need. Keep in mind that the extension will lower the max weight and tongue weight of the hitch by 1/3.

    The maximum tongue weight capacity in any circumstance for the # C45795 hitch extender is 350 lbs. Keep in mind, though that using an extender will reduce the tongue weight and towing capacity of your hitch by 50% which will limit you to whatever the capacity of your lowest-rated component is. Because using the extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity to a large degree, I wouldn't recommend using an extender.

  • Moving Cargo Carrier Out of Path of Exhaust on a 2015 Volvo XC60
    One possible solution is to use a hitch extender such as # C45795 to move the carrier further away from the path of the exhaust. You want the carrier to be at least 12 inches out from the path of the exhaust. The only problem with this is that the use of an extender reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. So, for Curt hitch # 13268 for the 2015 Volvo XC60 the tongue weight capacity would be reduced from 400 pounds down to 200 pounds, minus the weight of...

    To determine the length you need measure from the hitch pin hole on your Jeep's trailer hitch receiver out to the edge of the spare tire. Then add an inch or so to give you a little space. Some extenders are only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle and not to hold any tongue weight so make sure you choose an extender that is designed for carrying accessories since you're going to use it for a bike rack. Part # C45795 is a great 14 inch option. 37 inch tires are normally 12 or...

    The # BX88264 hitch extender is for flat towing or carrying hitch accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Instead, the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795 can be used for towing. It's 14 inches long. However, when using any hitch extender, you will reduce your hitch's tongue weight by 50 percent. You will need to make sure you are staying under this capacity. For another option that won't impact your tongue weight, the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45270 is 13 inches long. It provides...

  • Is a Hitch Extender Recommended for Bike Carrier to Clear Spare Tire on a Travel Trailer
    Using a hitch extender such as # C45795 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. It will all add additional stress to the hitch and to where it is mounted on your travel trailer. I do not recommend using an extender. Since you already have a bike rack that is compatible with the travel trailer the best solution would be to stow the spare tire in an alternate location. The benefit is that it won't cost you any money to do so and you will not have to worry...
