Hitch Adapters

Hey Eric, The hitch extenders that we currently offer for a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening unfortunately max out at 6,000lbs GTW and wouldn't be capable of towing the trailer. You're most likely going to need to upgrade to a TorkLift…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Hello Andrew, Well that sounds like quite the fun trip, what state or states will you be traveling through? You're asking a really important question, especially since you're planning a cross-country trip with about 250 pounds of bikes and…

Hey Cindy, thanks for reaching out. We may have an extension that will work for you. It will help to know exactly how long of an extension you are needing as this will be one of the main deciding factors. Let me know how long you need it to be in the…

Hi Debbie, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track looking for a 12" drop adapter. For the amount of drop you need, the best heavy-duty option we have is the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount with 12" drop, part #325-GH-625. It uses…

Hi Chris, that’s a great question and I’m glad you’re checking before loading that bike up. With the Roadmaster adapter part #RO24FR being rated at 400 lbs tongue weight, you’d be right at its limit with your bike and carrier, and once you factor in…

Hello Debbie, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Patriot Hitches 2" Adjustable Hitch Adapter #PH48PR can work for your setup. The 11" rise should get you very close to level, and being about 1 inch off still keeps you well within the typical…

Hey David, so EcoHitch does not like to post the install instructions for their hitches like the front hitch part #EH54QR that fits your 2023 Ford F-450 but it does come with a set of detailed instructions. Would you like me to track down a set that…

Hey William, so the 3 inch hitches do use the larger hitch pin diameter but the 2-1/2 inch hitches still use the smaller one. So with a reducer like the part #38735 technically you would use both sizes. If you check out the picture I attached you can…

This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

Hey Liam. All of our 10" brake assemblies like item #23-454-455 have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item #8-407-5UC3-EZ you were looking at is not available in a 12" drum. We do not have a 12" braking…
