Video Transcript for Review of TowSmart Hitch Adapters - Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4 Inch To 2 Inch - TS52FR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this TowSmart trailer hitch receiver adapter. Now, this adapter is going to let you convert any 1 1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver so you can use your 2 inch hitch mounted accessories with a 1 1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver. So this is gonna be ideal for bike racks, cargo carriers, and other trailer accessories. This does have a maximum trailer weight of 3,500 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 300 pounds.

Just some things to consider when using an adapter like this. This adapter is gonna reduce your tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch receiver by 50%. And this is not designed for towing applications. Again, this is gonna be for your two inch trailer hitch accessories. I do wanna point out that the hitch pin and clip or hitch lock is not included with this.

If you don't already have something compatible, you would have to pick those items up separately. This is made of durable heavy duty steel construction with a black powder coat finish. It's gonna do a great job of holding up to corrosion and it's gonna hold up in extreme weather as well. You might be wondering about some measurements, and let me see if I can give you some. So let me get my handy dandy tape measure here.

So let me start by giving you the overall length. We're sitting pretty close to 10 1/2 inches. And then let me get my ruler for these other measurements, might be a little bit easier to manage. I'm gonna try to give you the measurement from pinhole to pinhole there on center. So lining that up on center.

Looks like we're sitting pretty close to 6 5/8 inches. And then sometimes our neighbors request the measurement from the center of the pinhole to the end of the shank. So if you're looking for that measurement, from the center to the end, two inches. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that the information that I gave you has been helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

See what our Experts say about this TowSmart Hitch Adapters

  • How Much Does The TowSmart Hitch Adapter Weigh
    Hi Dwight, The TowSmart Hitch Adapter # TS52FR weighs 6.25lbs, but using a hitch adapter would reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50% because you're now leveraging the weight further away. You could go with the Curt # C18145, which weighs 27.58lbs or the Curt # C18110, which weighs 29.85lbs. The Flint Hill Goods # FHG59ZR you referenced is 24.72lbs so it's not much of a difference weight-wise. Both of the Curt carriers are compatible with 1-1/4" trailer hitches and wouldn't need an adapter.

  • Replacement Hitch Pin Lock and Matching Lock Cores for a Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
    Hey Solomon. You can indeed get a replacement hitch pin lock for your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack item # NV22B but you'll need to replace the other two lock cores to have all three of the keys match. I do not have a way to get you a hitch pin lock that matches your key. Here are the parts you will need: Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks item # HL2 for 2" Hitches or item # HL1 for 1-1/4" Hitches Replacement Lock Cores for Kuat Bike Racks - Qty 4 item # LOCO4 I recommend checking before ordering...

  • Will The Curt Hitch C11435 Fit A 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata?
    Hi David! The Curt hitch # C11435 says it will only fit a 2016 to 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but I can't honestly say why it stops there. There wasn't a generation change between 2022 and 2023 and the only difference I can see are a few added colors for the 2023 models. I couldn't see any differences in the rear bumper either. I see you ordered the hitch and am curious to hear if it does fit your 2023, so please let me know! I also see you ordered the TowSmart Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2"...

  • Will The Curt Hitch C11354 Fit A 2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI?
    Hi Andy! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11354 will indeed fit your 2013 VW Beetle TDI. It actually fits everything but the R models, so you are good to go! As to the 1-1/4" to 2" adapter, we have a few options for you. The first is the TowSmart Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # TS52FR, which is a straight adapter. The other would be the etrailer Hitch Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop/5" Rise - 6-1/2" L # e93YR, which you...

  • Parts Needed To Mount A 4-Bike Bike Rack With A 2" Shank On A 1994 Jeep YJ
    Hi Richard, Using a hitch adapter will reduce your trailer hitch's capacity by 50% and the use of an adapter isn't always allowed depending on the bike rack. You'll want to first check with the bike rack manufacturer if they allow for an adapter to be used, otherwise the rack could potentially fail and drop your bikes on the road. Swapping out your 1-1/4" hitch for a 2" hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98859 would be the safest option for hauling your bike rack/bikes.

  • Can The TowSmart Hitch Adapter TS52FR Be Used With A 2" Hitch?
    Hi Michael! Can I ask what you are wanting to use the TowSmart Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # TS52FR for? This is used to adapt a 1-1/4" hitch to a 2" accessory, but your 2025 Land Cruiser already has a 2" receiver. This will not fit without a reducer (like the # e63YR), but that would be kind of an odd thing to do. Do you have a 1-1/4" accessory, like a bike rack or cargo carrier, that you are wanting to use with your 2" hitch?
