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 667765
This product met my needs.... Staff was great.... Shipped ahead of schedule.... Will continue to shop at etrailer. 603352
All items were great. Sales girl was very on the ball with information. Installation was easy. 591950
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. 64940
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. 82294
All is good. Works just great!
Joe J - 05/29/2014I 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. 188141
Seems like a great product haven't had to use It yet I got it to mount to my UTV for pulling trailers around the property 551243
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 480344
Using the extender will lower the tongue weight capacity maximum amount of weight that can be safely suspended from your hitch by half. For instance, if your current hitch tongue weight capacity is 400 lbs, using the extender will lower that by half to 200 lbs. This would mean that the mobility scooter and the carrier could weigh no more than 200 lbs. Your hitch will have a sticker somewhere on it that lists its gross towing and tongue weight capacity.

Mike L - 03/02/2018As with all your products and service everything was great including fast delivery and the quality of the product. Have bought before with excellent results and will continue to do so. Great customer service!!! 484493
Works great, could not do without it, make it so much easier to hook up a trailer to a UTV or ATV
Bryan D - 03/13/2019Product 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! 99689
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. 728297
Great hitch for getting past my spare tire on my Jeep. Luggage rack fits perfectly. 723430
Exactly what I needed to move my bikes away from the trailer. Always excellent service from etrailer. 721907
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 !!! 705837
Product works as expected. Used to extend the hitch on my Polaris Ranger. 699671
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. 696682
Product was as advertised and service was better than advertised. Very pleased. 693417
I enjoy doing business with etrailer. They have a very knowledgeable staff and they provide quality products and quick delivery. 693908

Awesome; the extension was needed to fit a Tule hitch mount bike rack to our, Jeep. 622021
This worked great to extend hitch on a Polaris Crew Ranger. 621842
This 12 inch trailer hitch is terrific. It will protect the rear tire of my 2019 mercedes benz G 63, which I just got. 612114
OK BUT TOO LONG WORRIED ABOUT CAPACITY 596747
Needed to extend bike rack beyond spare tire on back of fifth wheel. This extension worked perfectly! 595758
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. 584687
Were glad to hear that the extender is working well for you. Please keep in mind that using an extender will reduce the towing and the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by half. The extra length of the extender moves the trailer tongue weight further away from the hitch, which increases the leverage place on the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle.
-- Mike L - 11/23/2018Product worked perfect on my UTV giving Me room to open door on box and Load or unload. Great customer service And help selecting right product. 580217
Worked as expected! Good quality and fast shipping. 576792
Good product 567565

As advertised! eTrailer employees rate a 10. 551454
Very well made and the service was grea t. 546490
sturdy. fit perfectly. delivered quic kly! 544394
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... 539536
Works as described - it would be great if it was offered in aluminum. 527127
Great product! 525315
Solved my Sprinter rear door opening issue with the hitch mounted bike rack. Quick Delivery as usual! 519452
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. 518916
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. 514198
All items were received as described, packing was very protective and I ordered standard shipping but was upgraded free of charge. Great place for purchases for all your towing needs. 508789
Works well with the front hitch. 488472
This part is very strong and fit my truck perfectly. I am very happy with the purchase. The company did a great job getting it to me on time. I needed it quickly for a client fishing outing and it came on time. They did a great job. I would recommend this product for anybody who needs a bit of room between the truck and the trailer. It is also helpful for those who tow boats, since the part effectively makes the trailer longer. This helps keep the exhaust pipe out of the water on the boat ramp. As a fly fishing guide, this part made a big difference to my business. 488068
Bought this along with the MaxxTow Cargo Carrier for our RV. The two fit together great. Easy assemble. We are looking forward to using it. 485128
Just what I expected it to be super fast shipping 482997
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. 482718
Works great with my bike carrier and rear tire on the back of my jeep. 482032
Great service again! Product as describ ed! 480355
