Video of Reese Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 18" Long
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to take a look at the Reese 18-inch long hitch extender for 2 inch trailer hitches. This hitch extender will extend your trailer hitch receiver opening from the rear of your vehicle to avoid any obstacles. It'll give you extra clearance for your trailer. It can allow you to clear your slide-out camper that might have an extended overhang, and also allow you to mount your bike rack on a vehicle without having to remove a rear-mounted spare tire. This is constructed of a durable steel. This helps resist corrosion with the black powder coat finish. You can see on the very end portion back here, this section is actually a solid piece, and this is what goes in the 2 inch-2 inch opening.
This does require a hitch pin and clip to install it on your vehicle, or a hitch lock. We do sell both of those items separately. I happened to pull a hitch pin and clip that would be used on this, it's part number PC3, and we do sell that separately on our website. There are many different hitch locks that would also work with this that are listed on our website. Again, the specs on this. This fits a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening.
The maximum gross trailer weight capacity on this is 4000 pounds. Maximum tongue weight capacity is 400 pounds. When this is used with weight distribution it'll give you a maximum gross trailer weight of 6500 pounds, and a maximum tongue weight of 650 pounds. I do want to give you the measurement from the center of this hitch pin hole to the center of this hitch pin hole. You can see center to center is right at 18 inches, so that'll get your 18 inch extension. One note I do want to mention, that using this extension will reduce your hitch weight capacity by 35%.
If you'll notice also a nice feature, they give you a nice little hard plastic cover that will go in when you're not using it. That cover will keep any dirt or grime from getting inside your hitch receiver opening. That should do it for the review on the Reese 18-inch long hitch extender for 2 inch trailer hitches.

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.Should work ok. Heavy solid male end. Not hollow. Have not had a chance to check camper clearance Yet. 428707
Has worked well for my application. Pulling 4000LB utility trailer.
ken - 09/04/2018Must be a manufacturing defect because the pin does not fit through the holes that have been pre-drilled, so the product is worthless. If it was usable however it does appear to be what I was looking for of extending my hitch out away from my vehicle. 417871
Thanks for the follow up Jeff. I have noted your order and one of our customer service representatives will be contacting you soon.

Rachael H - 08/18/2017Excellent product, etrailer was very helpful in finding what I needed. The videos also helped me understand and see exactly what I was ordering. Way more helpful than the store was! 396608
The hitch extension is stout. It just took a long time to finally receive my order. 201044
I like it because it’s exactly the right length for my truck camper. I use it to pull my trailer and 4 wheelers behind my truck camper. I also use it with a rear carrier when I’m not pulling the trailer on a trip. 688277
Helps out when you need that extra space to extend out your hitch. 671777
I had to round the edges on the male end to fit into ANY 2" receiver.....even another Reese receiver adapter. Other than that, it's just an extension and does what it's supposed to do. 647789
Enables me to have my travel trailer attached and my tailgate down with dirt bikes in it. Super solid. 627972
I pull a trailer behind my pickup with a slide in camper. With the camper in the bed the tailgate is down so the extension allows room for the trailer jack to work and keeps the trailer away from the truck on corners. Great product. 610606
The adapter is exactly what I was looking for. It gave me the extra length away from the truck I needed. Very well built. Strong and durable. Even in the extreme weather Idaho has. No corrosion on it at all. I have been on very rough roads and haven't worried or even thought it would fail. Thank you 607451

Quality product, thank you 476464
Will work very well to pull my trailers with my Hummer H2,because the spare is in the way. Didn't think it would look this good. Thanks for a great product. 464993
Just what we were looking for. And on top of meeting our need, it came a day earlier than notified of. Great product. 455930
Thanks George for a great product delivered quickly with great customer service! 441607
Heavy duty, perfect way to extend beyond the Slide in camper. Don't settle for a cheap product. 427241
Well one problem I have is keeping the nuts tight. Even with a breaker bar and 2 jam nuts they tend to come lose and the hitch extension has some play.
Gary D - 08/31/2018Product came as advertised, on time. Packaging was suitable for the product. Good to go - it's on the utv and much easier to hook up implements without crawling under the dump bed. 417758
Hitch extender was just what I needed. This was used so that I could pull a small camper with my tailgate down . Without the extender my tailgate would come down and hit the top of my trailer wheel crank. Now it clears easily. It's great quality and very heavy. Nothing you will ever break or where out. Excellent product. 408682
I just received the product. It appears to be high quality and should work great. Delivery was quick! 397749
Needed it fast. Got here fast. 369096

Great
Fred W - 03/22/2018used it this weekend, no problems, would recommend it 355732
Very sturdy product, installed on 2017 John Deere gator 825i. The gator receiver is right at the rear axles. This product allowed me to move point of hookup all the way out to the bumper. Now everything can be hooked up without crawling underneath machine. 350042
Haven't use the product yet--just arrived yesterday, but it appears well built. Had to extent the hitch to clear slide-in camper overhang. Not sure why they put the plastic chrome band around the end . . . . looks good now, but don't know how long that will last. I'll probably just pull it off. Took it to a weld shop to install a plate for chain hooks and a bracket for the electrical connection. I also intend on connecting side chains to eliminate side-to-side stress at the receiver. So, we'll see how it stands up after a couple years of towing. If it stands up like I expect it to, it will get 5 start. Incidentally, etrailer got it to me quickly and well packaged. 306596
I needed to extend the short tongue on my trailer to allow clearance on tight turns between my spare tire and the two kayaks on the trailer. The product was a simple solution, quite well-made and worked like a charm. 285478
