Works well, saving me from modifying my trailer.
Holes did not line up properly due to how it is welded. Returned item as it seemed to be defective.
This product will serve my purpose perfectly. I searched for a solid shank on an hitch extender and etrailer provided me with multiple options. I was especially pleased that the solid shank extended 3 inches into the hollow 2”x2” receiver for additional strength. etrailer always comes through.
I have been using this as an extension for a Yakima bike rack (2 bikes) for the last year on my 1999 Super Duty. This has been one of the sturdiest parts of the truck camper setup. We have had trouble with the step down on the camper, so we use this more often than that! Only the slightest sway when driving but it has held its own with no rusting or bending. The sticker has even stayed on!
Extremely helpful if you have a trailer with a short hitch. I was concerned that it may cause trouble when driving, but it is working great.
My husband had been looking for one of these hitches for some time and could not find one locally. I tried Amazon and the company could not say when it would be shipped. After more than a week I did a search and found you guys and ordered it expecting it this coming Wednesday. To our surprise and delight, it is exactly what he has been looking for and we received it two days early! Thank you so much for such prompt service and having what we needed!
Works great! Allows us to carry our golf cart and our small camper!
Perfect extension for my bike rack to fold up properly while not transporting a bike.
Ordered this to fit with an eTrailer hitch for my Rav4. This was recommended as the correct extender by live chat support. Does not fit. Will not line up for the bolt to engage threads in the receiver. Also the lock is very wiggly and does not hold the extender firmly in the receiver. Super disappointed.
This hitch extender is very heavy duty, fits well, and appears to have a durable finish on it.
The SHIPPING WAS HORRIBLE. The box was torn completely open on one end and there was nothing to keep the hitch extender from falling out of the box. Luckily there were no other parts in the box or they would be gone.
Our hitch extender came quickly after ordering and has operated exactly as we wanted. Solid build quality and heavy duty enough to hold up for years to come.
Seems to be solid and sturdy. It served the purpose to extend my bike rack so the hatchback could open. Thank you
I would definitely give these items and more importantly your sales and service. 5 stars
My new F150 has a taller tailgate and the hitch receiver is farther under the bumper than my old ‘06 F250. It is also a little higher off the ground.
One picture shows how the tailgate hits tongue Jack on my utility trailer.
The ball was 8” from the receiver. The extension and new 4” drop ball mount move the ball to 14”.
So now the tailgate can open completely. Of course I needed to lengthen the chains and wiring pigtail. The trailer is only rated for 2900 lbs so it won’t exceed the decrease in load rating.
I have purchased trailer hitches for my last 3 vehicles. All bought on etrailer.com. I appreciate the high level of customer service !
When you place your order items aren't always in stock as implied..shipping is slow. Don't order think they will ship in a couple days like most places...fortunately I did not need right away....last time my item was weeks out and was not told until I called inquiring it's status.
Great product on time delivery
Just the right addition to give that extra load balance for longer loads on shorter trailers. Totally satisfied!
Etrailer has come through again with a product that was priced reasonably and most of all COMPLETED our search for our hitch!
Quick delivery, works exactly as expected. No issues.
It looks good and I'm sure will work well. It does what I wanted
excellent quality - size (8") unusual but perfect for my application
