Extend your trailer hitch receiver opening so that you can clear your spare tire when using your hitch-mounted bike rack or so that your trailer won't hit a rear-mounted propane tank when you make sharp turns. Powder coated steel resists rust.I have a bigger tire behind my jeep. Needed the extra length for my bike rack. Works perfectly. Thank you!
Works perfectly for my application. The 12” hitch extender has provided full access to the truck bed and full use of my beach cart when attached.
Product as advertised. Fit perfectly in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler factory receiver. Also purchased an Anti-Rattle receiver lock (Part #63232) which has everything fitting nice and snug. Now ready to mount our Softride 4-bike rack and go!
Needed this as i have a big spare tire. It gave a good clearance to attach my bike rack.
I needed to extend my bike rack out from the back of my camping trailer so the bikes would clear the spare tire. It works great.
Just what I was looking for,I have a Hummer and with the large spare on the rear I could not put a lift for my handicap scooter on the back,but with this extender problem was solved.The service from etrailer was great it seemed as if it arrived overnight.I added yellow reflectors to each side to keep me from banging into it in low light.Overall great product
Mike L - 03/02/2018My son and I did a fit check and it’s going to work . My spear tire was in the way, of us putting a bike rack on. And now it will happen. Thanks
Robert - 07/09/2020I purchased the MT70024 so I could use the cargo carrier on the rear of our fifth wheel camper. The spare tire on the camper's rear bumper prevented direct attachment of the CC-100 without the extension. The MT70024 worked fine.
Ray T - 09/05/2020Needed extension to get hitch mounted bike rack on my wife's jeep to clear the spare tire. Worked out great - qickly shipped and good value. thanks.
Joe J - 05/29/2014Pulling a double axle 16' flatbed with 2 to 4 quads on it. Product works well. No back and forth sway. More stable then I anticipated it would be. Plenty of clearance for the back of my 10' slide-in camper, the reason for buying this product in the first place. I would recommend this, but be mindful of the tongue weight on the hitch.
A much-needed item when pulling my utility trailer with my Jeep. This allows a greater distance between the Jeep and the trailer so I can clear the trailer's a-frame mounted landing gear/support leg from the Jeep's spare tire when I open the back door.
Mike L - 11/23/2018Purchased hitch ball, ball mount, hitch extender, wiring extension, safety chain extension, and storage bags for a Jeep Liberty. ETrailer has a great selection of products, with good prices, and fast shipping. We will definitely buy from them again.
We have not had an opportunity to use the items purchased, but anticipate no problems.
The staff at etrailer made my buying experience nothing short unforgettable...they are prompt on receiving your order and processing it in a timely fashion. In my case I was confused on what it was I exactly needed; they emailed me a number of options that would accommodate my needs with budget and price range in mind. This is the second time I have purchased from etrailer and they made me feel like family; they can count on me being a long term customer from here on out! And last but not least the product speaks for itself. Towing a trailer from state to state can make you a sceptic of your equipments endurance and toughness; I know my hitch and components are one less thing I need to worry about...
This trailer hitch extension gets to the edge of the rear step on my 6,700 GVW Chevy cut Away van with the 16 foot Unicellular body. Unfortunately, it cuts the 10,000 pound towing capacity down to 5,000 pounds.
I was struggling to make a bike rack work on a Jeep Wrangler 2-door with spare tire.
First, the phone rep was excellent, providing thoughtful comments and advice. She helped me make a good decision. She took all the time necessary for a small,purchase price. The hitch extension worked perfectly. The locking hitch pin was easy to install and provides Great security. Not a rattle to be heard. Moreover, I can now open my tailgate to access the rear and transport three bikes on a Wrangler.
Works as presented. I forgot to order a second hitch pin; I wish it came with one since you can't use it without two of them. I did get some rattling over rough payment that was clearly coming from the hitch connection - although it may have been the trailer coupler and not a result of the slight play between the receiver and extension. I wished it had a threaded pin hole so as to allow for the extension to be tightened down.
This product (manufactured in China) is sturdy with nice, heavy coats of paint.
On the advice of the etrailer.com expert, I purchased this 12 inch extender for my Thule T2 pro XT (trailer hitch mount) platform bike rack. As it turns out, an 8 inch extension would have been a better choice for my stock 2017 Jeep Wrangler (with OEM sized spare tire). Oh well.
I love this company. I have always gotten exactly what I order and promptly. These people have great customer service. I ordered a hitch extender and spare tire rack for my ATV it is well made and works great. They always have what I need. I only wish I found there WEB site years ago. Very nice people and the prices cant be beat. Thanks etrailer for everything you have done for me. I will always recommend your company and continue to purchase items from you. Mike St.Hilaire Maine
The trailer hitch 12" extension is exactly what I needed. Excellent quality, I needed to be able to open the tailgate without unhooking
my trailer, which was always a hassle with the A-frame jack. Problem was solved with the extension. As always etrailer came through again. Great Job!
Easy to order and great customer service. Used this to extend my receiver hitch on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler to clear the spare tire for my bike rack.
The MaxxTow 12” hitch extension fits perfectly for clearing my spare tire for my bike rack. Angela was extremely helpful when I called to get the exact measurements of the extension. Shipping was fassst !! Thanks etrailer......u guys rock !!!
Was totally blown away by the service, Great Job. I ordered on Friday and it was shipped on Friday Afternoon... The Product 2" to 2" x 12" extension is exactly what I ordered and ready to use..What more can you ask for.. Maxx Tow Hitch Awesome!!!
I could not find this part in any store. Found on-line & it works Great!
This extender is very cool. Strong and just the right size. It solves the problem of using a Thule cargo box with a Jeep Wrangler and now makes it possible to open the Jeep's back door so that the spare tire now clears the Thule. I know I'm gonna love it!
A much needed extension for the rear of my class C motorhome. Gives more turning space for the trailer in tight turns.More clearance because the trailer has a front mounted tool box.
