Video Transcript for Reese Hitch Adapters - Hitch Reducer - 38735 Review
Today we'll be reviewing part number 38735. This is the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter, a 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve. This reduced the 3" opening on the Super Titan hitch down to a standard 2" opening, making this an ideal adapter to haul those 2" by 2" accessories that you have, whether it's a bike rack or a hitch mounted cargo carrier. This is going to measure 9-5/8" in overall length. It's going measure 3-1/4" tall by 3-1/4" in width. Due to the shorter extension, it does retain tongue weight capacity. This gives us a gross towing weight of 12,000 pounds, with a maximum tongue weight of 1,200 pounds.
It has a nice black powder coat finish, so it is going to stand up well against rust and corrosion. You can see the different size pin holes that we have. There's actually 3. There's not pins or clips that are included with this, so you can refer to this product's product page to view those products. This portion here is the portion that slides into the receiver tube of your hitch on your vehicle. Then your 2" by 2" accessory would slide into this portion here.
Line up your pin holes, and this will accommodate a 5/8" pin, as well as a 1/2" pin, because of the 2 different size pin holes. That's going to complete today's review of part number 38735. This is the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter, a 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve. .

This is a great reducer for the new 2017 Ford F250/350 trucks. The factory model has a loose and sloppy fit. The Reese reducers is a much more heavy duty model with a snug fit. I would highly recommend it if you want to use a 2 inch hitch on your new Ford. 357833

Looked all over for this adapter. Just bought a 2017 Ford F-250 with a 3" hitch. All my inserts are 2" and Ford doesn't supply the adapters anymore. The weatherTech mud flaps are another issue. The trim piece on the fender well won't allow the mud flaps to be installed. 425406

I have purchased items through Etrailer and have always had good service and found their selection to be excellent. In this case they were the only company that I found that stocked this adaptor. The first adaptor they sent would not fit the hitch receiver. The hitch receiver opening on my Super Titan 3 inch hitch is exactly that, 3 inch. The hitch adaptor outside dimension was 3 & 1/16th inch. Etrailer sent a replacement hitch adaptor without any hesitation or question. Thank you etrailer for having good customer service. That is what brings customers back. Unfortunately the second adaptor would not fit. Its outside dimensions were exactly 3 inch. I do not know the tolerances on the Super Titan 3 inch so it may be on the negative side as well. Rather than trying to establish what the dimensions of both the hitch socket, adaptor and fit clearance should be and having no alternative supplier, I took a grinder to the adaptor and fitted it to the hitch. Not much grinding was required and the resultant change in dimensions does not degrade the suitability of the adaptor for the intended use. The adaptor fit the hitch receiver nicely but the hitch pin would not fit. I looked at the hitch adaptor and found that the hitch pin holes in the 3 inch tube and the smaller tube that is welded inside it to create the adaptor must have been drilled before the two pieces were welded together. The holes were offset when they were welded together. That had to be corrected without overbearing the fit which was possible but a pain. Thankfully I have access to the tools needed to accomplish this but do not believe that most people would. At this point I will say that I have a number of Reese products and never had a problem with anything other than this adaptor. In summary, etrailer has items that I could not find elsewhere and great customer service. Reese needs to review the design of this adaptor and improve the quality. If etrailer had another adaptor supplier I would have returned the second item and purchased it. Unfortunately it appears the Reese is the only game in town unless you have the adaptor fabricated yourself. I suggest that etrailer discontinue sale of this item pending Reese verifying they have corrected the design and improve the quality of the product. 443849

This does NOT fit '17 Ford F350 built Jan '17. My F350 6.7l has a 3" receiver with a 5/8" hitch pin. This adapter has a 3/4" hitch pin hole. If indeed 3" receiver standard is 3/4" pin, then Ford messed up. Otherwise Reese is at fault. 509584
Comments
The Reese # 38735 isnt compatible with the Ford 3 OEM receiver hitch due to the hitch pin hole discrepancy you mentioned. It is a fit for the Reese SuperTitan aftermarket 3 receiver hitch as mentioned in our product description. Reese is working on an application that will be compatible, it should be available soon.

Good service and prompt delivery. Item's fastening pin did not quite fit the holes in the receiver; but easily resolved with only a small amount of filing to make the parts align properly. Perhaps 1/64" offset. Could be either this product or the coach's received. Representative was very helpful in product selection. 438239

I have to say how great the sales department is. When I placed the order I choose standard shipping 5-7 days I got a email from George J telling me he processed my order and it shipped he also upgraded the shipping to express 2-3 day at no additional cost, I replied WOW that's great! Also on the product, this 3x2 reducer is not a common part and etrailer was the only place that carried it and had it on stock to fit my motor home hitch.

Do you have a question about this Hitch Adapter?
- Recommended Adapter and Ball Mount for 3 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver for Pin Hole Diameter Size
- For your 2017 Ford F-350, the 3 inch Trailer hitch receiver adapters we have are the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter - 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve # 38735 and the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408. Both have the 3/4 inch pin hole diameter.
For a pin, the Super Titan Trailer Hitch Pin and Clip for 3" Receivers # 58388 has this pin diameter if you are using the Titan and then you will use a 5/8 pin for the 2 inch accessory. If you are using the Curt, you...

- The Pro Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 63071 referenced in your question does include the two different sized built-in hitch balls (2 inches and 2-5/16 inches). When using the 2-5/16 inch ball, this ball mount is rated at 14,000 pounds. This ball mount also has a maximum drop of 5-7/8 inches and maximum rise of 4-5/8 inches.

- If the truck you buy does have a 3 inch hitch installed on it the Super Titan Adapter Part # 38735 would be the correct adapter as it will slide into the hitch and provide you with a 2 inch hitch.
A standard hitch pin that you would have for the 3 inch hitch would be all you need to secure the adapter like part # 58388.
Then for a pin for the 2 inch hitch you would want the part # PC3.

- For the traditional Blue Ox Sway Pro, you will need the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408 to reduce a 3 inch receiver down to 2 inches. This is not rated for a specific weight rating because it does not protrude from the hitch opening.
Another option is to use either the Reese Reducer Sleeve for Super Titan Hitch Receivers - 3" to 2" # 38735 or the Buyers products # 337RTA302 both of which will have one less moving part and are rated for tongue weights...

To use a standard hitch cover that is compatible with 2 inch hitches like the etrailer.com # 22282, you can use the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter # 38735 to reduce the 3 inch opening to a 2 inch opening.

It is not able to be used as part of a weight distribution system.
Weight distribution systems require a weight distribution shank. There is no 3 inch shank available, but there are many 2 inch options. I recommend the Super Titan Receiver Adapter...

- You gave two hitch reducer options, the Reese Reducer Sleeve for Super Titan Hitch Receivers - 3" to 2" # 38735 and the Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # 337RTA302 and both are compatible with your 2017 Ram 2500's 3 inch receiver.
There are also other options like the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 3" to 2-1/2" # BWRHXA2183 and the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408. Any of these options will work with your factory 3 inch hitch.
view full answer... - Is There A 3 Inch Hitch Receiver To 2 Inch Receiver Sleeve Reducer Available?
- Absolutely. For your 3 inch receiver, I recommend the Reese Super Titan Receiver Adapter - 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve # 38735. This will allow you to use your Tow Bar without issue. You may need the Super Titan Trailer Hitch Pin and Clip for 3" Receivers # 58388, this is a 3/4 inch diameter pin. If you want a locking pin to secure your adapter, I recommend the Weigh Safe Hitch Receiver Lock for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # WS05.
view full answer... - Recommended Reducer Sleeve and Anti-Rattle Pin for 2017 F-250 With 3 Inch Receiver
- The Reducer Sleeve for Super Titan Hitch Receivers - 3" to 2" # 38735 is a much better option than using multiple sleeves. The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL has a 3.54 inch pin span that will work if the outer edges of your receiver don't exceed that. The 3 inch pins like # WS05 only have that 3-1/2 inch span, so it should work and give you the anti-rattle stabilization as well but you may need to get a longer spring for easy installation.

- The longest hitch reducer we have for a 3 inch hitch receiver on a 2017 F-350 is the Super Titan Receiver Adapter - 3" to 2" Reducer Sleeve # 38735. This will give you only a 4 inch extension while reducing the size of your receiver opening.
If you need a longer extension, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 which will give you an 8 inch extension but will also reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight rating by up to 50 percent like all hitch...

I contacted our representative at Reese, and he in informed me that the Super Titan Receiver Adapter, part # 38735, will not cut down the weight or the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. Part # 38735 does not extend out far enough to reduce the weight capacity, as would be the case with a hitch extender. He said, that as long as...

- The Reese Super Titan adapter # 38735 is the only one that goes from a 3 inch hitch down to a 2 inch. When using the adapter though the hitch is limited to 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have linked a video review of this adapter for you.
I also recommend the Super Titan Trailer Hitch Pin and Clip for 3" Receivers Item # 58388. It is a 3/4 inch diameter pin for the large 3 inch hitches.

- If you have a 3 inch receiver opening on your 2017 Ford F-350 and you are wanting to utilize both a 2-1/2 inch receiver and 2 inch receiver then the perfect solution for you is the Super Titan Receiver Adapter # 38735.
This is compatible with a 3 inch receiver and reduces it to 2 inches for your application.

- I do have a way for you to use your Avail tow bar with a 3 inch hitch receiver, however, there are no replacement shanks that fit a 3 inch hitch receiver.
All you need to use a tow bar that fits a 2 inch hitch receiver in a 3 inch hitch receiver is use the Super Titan Receiver Adapter # 38735. This will reduce the receiver opening size on your trailer hitch from 3 inches to 2 inches so that you can use any tow bar with a 2 inch shank. It has a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) capacity of 12,000...
view full answer... - Reducer Sleeve Needed to Use Wheelchair Lift on 2 Inch Receiver
- For using a 1-1/4 inch accessory in a 2 inch receiver, I would recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer, part # HT02.
The Reducer includes the 1/2 inch pin and clip to secure the 1-1/4 inch accessory to the reducer, but the 5/8 inch pin and clip to secure the reducer to the receiver is sold separately as part # PC3. The reducer has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, so you will want to make sure that the wheelchair lift and the chair itself do not weigh more than 300 lbs.
