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.My 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 - 07/09/2020Product 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!
I 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 - 09/05/2020Exactly as described and very much appreciate the diagram showing the length and placement of the pin holes. Their shipping department could use some extra strong tape though.. it fell out of the box as I received it, and I feel lucky that it made it through at all.
HFD - 02/08/2021Well build. Perfect fit to our needs.
Tom M - 06/21/2021Nice extension for the Honda 1000-5 UTV since the receiver is pretty far under the unit.
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!
Needed this as i have a big spare tire. It gave a good clearance to attach my bike rack.
Product works as expected. Used to extend the hitch on my Polaris Ranger.
Robert M - 09/13/2020This 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.
Needed 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 - 05/29/2014Just 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 - 03/02/2018Well built and good quality, but does need an anti rattle device as there is too much play which is not good for the bike rack with heavy bikes. I wish I knew that when I purchased, so I didn’t have to buy on a separate order. Does a great job of moving the bike carrier out from the rear of the Jeep, almost enough to totally open the rear door
Quick shipping, just what i ordered, great quality, would definitely order from here again
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.
Pulling 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 - 11/23/2018The 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 !!!
Purchased 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.
Extremely fast shipment. This is exactly what I needed for my customized Jeep TJ to add a stand up bike rack.
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.
Quality product and excellent customer service.
Ordering was quick and easy, even got expedited shipping at no charge. Product arrived on time and installation was quick and easy. Installed on Polaris ranger to extend the cargo rack away from rear to make it easier to load cargo. Works perfect
As advertised. Our hitch is tucked underneath the vehicle and we couldn't get our bike rack attached appropriately. This solved the problem perfectly. No issues now
