Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2 1/2 inch trailer hitches. Now this extension installs inside of your 2 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver, and extends your receiver opening 41 or 48 inches away from the truck. This measurement is taken from the center of the hitch pin hole on your vehicle, to the center of the hitch pin hole on the extender.Now this extender is ideal for slide out campers, and extended over hangs. It's made from a durable steel construction, and it features a nice black powder coated finish to keep it protected from rust and corrosion. It also comes with a hitch cover that can be used to cover up the opening right here, for when the unit's not in use. That keeps dirt and grime out of the tubing, which is gonna help prevent rust and corrosion to the inside of the extender.Now, this is for use with 2 1/2 inch bu 2 1/2 inch trailer hitch receivers only.
The extender reduces your receiver opening to a two inch by two inch receiver tube for use with standard ball mounts and accessories. The unit comes with a welded on electrical bracket right here, that let's you mount a trailer connector, making your connector more accessible. And then it has the large safety chain loops for easy connecting.Now keep in mind, you will need to attach chains from the trailer to the chain loops on the extension, and then on to the trailer hitch on your vehicle. Department of Transportation regulations require that you extend the safety chains on your trailer, so that they are attached directly to the vehicle. These loops right here on top should be utilized to keep your new longer safety chains from dragging the ground.Now this unit is set and ready to be used as a 48 inch long extension.
To use as a 41 inch extension, you will need to cut down the tubing, and you will need to leave six inches behind the pin hole when trimming. When used as a 48 inch extension, it has a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 pounds, and a weight distribution rating of 6,000 pounds. Ton weight rating would be 400 pounds, and when using a weight distribution system it'd be 600 pounds.When used at the 41 inch extension, the weight carrying capacity if 5,000 pounds, and the weight distribution rating is 7,500 pounds. Ton weight rating would 500 pounds, and when used with a weight distribution system, it would 750 pounds. But that's gonna do it for today's look at the Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2 1/2 inch trailer hitches..
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (41 Customer Reviews)
I give this 5 stars for its robust design and functionality. It was not an easy install though. The 5/8" pin hole on my hitch did not line up very well with the pin hole on this hitch extension. In all fairness, it could have been my hitch, although other extenders I tried did line up...We use this to tow a 4000 lb jeep behind a truck camper with a 2016 Ram 3500 dually. 581652

48" Titan hitch box extension on 2011 F-350 Dually 413413
Well designed and HEAVY. Plate for electrical connector is a little too close to the hitch pin (which makes it difficult to get a 7-pin plug in). Otherwise, no complaints. Works as intended to tow my boat behind my truck camper. 254880
I was in need of a longer hitch. The representative was very helpful. The hitch is well built of heavy construction. Being the first time ordering from the company I am highly satisfied. I will be a repeat customer. 343205
I purchased the hitch extension to accomendate our bike rack to go on the back of our truckcamper. I also purchased the bike rack and steps at all work perfectly together. The extension is very heavy duty and can be used for towing a boat. The only con was not the extension it was the packageing it beat itself up. I also added turnbuckles and safety chain and electrical extension. 602840
Haven't had the opportunity to use it , but it looks heavy duty and I think it will do the job quit well.Note:the service and shipping has been great.I would have no problem ordering more products in the future. 161436
received the product when promised , box was damaged and torn open , the only item damaged was the black reese plug that goes in the end. Not the end of the world , Unit is well built and should do what i need to do with it . Thanks for the follow up , i will be using your company on other items 573061
This is very heavy duty. When I installed it on my Ford F350 the end of the extension bar hit the spare tire when it went thru the receiver and the pin hole was about a 1/4 hole off. I had to trim the end about 1" to make it so it would clear the spare tire. Hitch extension was a bit loose in the receiver which is typical and expected. I bought a hitch clamp to take care of the play and everything works fine. 549161
Philip B - 08/20/2019I've bought Reese products in the past with no problems but this time one of the pin holes wasn't drilled completely through. It kinda makes one worry about quality control. These hitch extenders carry a lot of weight and if the quality doesn't match the demand it can be very dangerous. This is not a cheap product so I expected higher quality. Also, the hitch hole cover was broken, not a big deal but the hitch was just thrown into a box with no packaging material and sent on its merry way. When the box arrived it was obvious the box had see some tough times in it's journey to it's new home. I know this is a heavy unit but it looked like everybody along the way hated it! I've ordered a number of items from etrailer and they have been quick, responsive to questions and priced well, so this isn't a bad mark on their efforts. 441293
All Good 744737
Extension is very heavily built. Had a little trouble getting it in the hitch on my 2019 F-350. Hoping it was due to new paint and the cold weather making the hitch slightly smaller. 739976
Product was exactly as described, service was above expectations. 723408
I ordered this from etrailer and it was fast and simple. I got it within days. I think this will work well with my pickup camper and trailer combo. The only problem I had was that there was too much paint on it. So much so that it would not fit into my receiver. I am sure they are mass produced, but they should have someone put a micrometer on them once in awhile. I have a 2018 Ram 3500 with a 2 1/2 inch receiver. I tried a friends exact same extension and it slid in easily. Oh, well. I made it work anyways. 708191
very happy now. the first product i received would not fit my hitch. the flange on the extension was not perfectly aligned and my curt brand solid steel hitch would not enter at all. i have some hollow reese hitches (which are just a hair thinner) and they fit but it was misaligned just enough that the curt brand hitch would not go in. on top of that problem, the product was terribly damaged from shipping. i was upset and intended on cutting the bar to remove the flange until coincidentally etrailer customer service reached out to me unprompted. after i explained the problem, they very quickly provided a return label and shipped a new replacement product. the new extension works perfect and it was shipped without one scratch on it. very happy now. 695189
High quality, arrived promptly. Just what they say in the description. 695488
Excellent service! Lightning fast shipping! Great response rate! Exactly what I needed for my camper. 686597
Product was shipped promptly and in excellent condition. All of the information regarding this product was very helpful, especially the video. I was worried that I needed a heavy duty hitch system but after watching the informational video, I was sure this would work for my set up for towing. 683147
Excellent service from etrailer but a problem with the machining of the extension. Pin holes didn't line up correctly with holes in my hitch but a little attention from my Dremel tool remedied the problem. Maybe if I had a Reese hitch it would line up but working with factory Ram hitch. Overall seems to be a heavy duty extension that will do what I need it to do, fishing boat with slide in camper. 617142
Fast delivery. Have not been able to use yet but should be good. 594268
