• Do You Have a 1 1/4" Receiver Hitch for My 2025 Hyundai Kona so I can Use My Bike Rack?
  Hello Tim, I take it you already have the bike rack which is why you are looking for the 1 1/4" receiver. We only have the 2" receiver for the 2024 Hyundai Kona but that's ok because we can make it work. If your Kona is the Electric, N Line, and N models you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C43RV. If your Kona is NOT the Electric, N Line, and N models you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C39RV or the Draw-tite one you were looking...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT
  Curtis, it does look like the only hitches offered for a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon like # DT73RR are going to be class III hitches which are going to have 2" receivers. If it's an accessory you're trying to use that only works with a 1 1/4" hitch then you could just use the Trailer Hitch Reducer # e63YR and you'd be all set.

• Availability of 2" Shank Without Backbone Assembly for Thule T2 Bike Rack
  Hi Joe; I'm sorry to say that the only way to convert your Thule T2 Classic to the 2" shank is with the # 753-3581. The 2" shank itself is not available from Thule without the backbone. The only other option is to use a hitch reducer like # e63YR.

• Is there a 1-1/4" Hitch for a 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid?
  Allow me to clear up the confusion Bill. I just checked with Draw-Tite and their item # 36600 will not fit the Hybrid model of the 2023 Kia Niro. Just the standard model. For your 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid there are no class I hitches with a 1-1/4" receiver. You'll need to go with the class III 2" Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT79YR. Usually when people request a 1-1/4" receiver over an existing 2" option they have a bike rack already. With this hitch installed you can use the Trailer...

• Ways To Adapt The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack To Fit A 2" Hitch
  Good question! The standard way of adapting the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Y67VR to a 2" hitch would be to use something like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR and the Pro Series Lock-Tite Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # PS63100 to both lock it and keep it from rattling. What I would do though, is use the Replacement 2" Shank Adapter # 8880612. This technically isn't designed for use with the StageTwo,...

• Will Trailer Hitch From 2006 Hyundai Tucson Also Fit 2023 Tucson?
  Hello Joan, thanks for getting in touch. The hitch for the 2006 Hyundai Tucson, the Curt # C12126, will fit the 2005-2009 Tucson models. So it will not transfer over to the 2023, and you will need a new hitch. For that I recommend the Curt # C94WR. This has a 2" receiver, and this is the only receiver size available for the 2023 Tucson. If need be, you can reduce the receiver down to a 1-1/4" using part # e63YR. What do you plan to use the hitch for? Is it for a bike rack, or are you...

• Availability of 2" to 1-1/4" Reducer With Built-In Rise for Bike Rack
  Hi LDJ; we have reducers like the # e63YR but none with a built in rise. What you can do is pair it with Gen-Y stacked receivers like the # 325-GH-303 with a 5" rise/drop or # 325-GH-304 with a 7-1/2" rise/drop. The design prevents any reduction in hitch capacity like other adapters and will get you the extra clearance. The Gen-Y is pretty solid but I recommend using an anti-rattle like # GY88XR to help reduce unwanted movement as you add more parts to your bike rack setup.

• Trailer Hitch Needed For A 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet
  Hey Jim, There unfortunately isn't a custom-fit trailer hitch available for your 1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet so you'd have to get in touch with a local fabricator shop and have them build you one using a receiver tube like the # 337RT255808. They'll need to determine the drop needed from the frame to clear the rear fascia and the build the crosstube to fit around the exhaust and any other components under the vehicle. The # 337RT255808 is just an example, if you need a different length...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander ES
  Sorry but no! The only hitch available for the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander ES is the 2" Curt item # C87WR you were looking at. If you are wanting to use 1-1/4" accessories with this hitch all you will need is the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63YR. This inserts inside the 2" receiver and allows you to mount 1-1/4" accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. It is not an adapter so you will not lose any tongue weight capacity or violate your accessories...

• When Will Curt Release A Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2024/2025 Chevy Trax
  Hey Walter, There still is no hard date for when Curt will release the Class I trailer hitch for the 2024/2025 models of the Chevy Trax. They have released a Class 3" trailer hitch receiver # C75VV that is confirmed to fit 24/25 year models though. This would provide you with more capability to haul accessories since a 2" shank is the most common sizing. For accessories that require a 1-1/4" receiver tube you can use a reducer # e63YR.

• Is There A 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Available For A 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid?
  Hi Neils! It looks like only 2" hitches are available for your 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e38KR. Do you already have a bike rack that has a 1-1/4" shank? This hitch can absolutely handle the weight, but you will also need to grab the etrailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR if your bike rack did not come with a 2" adapter or it has been misplaced. This one will not...

• Are there 1-1/4" Hitches for a 2021 Cadillac XT5?
  Hey Gregg. The only hitches available for the 2021 Cadillac XT5 are 2" ones like our etrailer item # e62AR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. What specific make and model bike rack do you have? Most of the ones that fit a 1-1/4" hitch won't let you use an adapter like the MaxxTow item # MT70033. You'll want to use a reducer sleeve like item # e63YR. This simply slides into the 2" receiver and makes it smaller so a 1-1/4" accessory will...

• Can Draw-Tite Class III Hitch for 2017 Ford Escape Use 1-1/4" Bike Rack
  Hey Terri, great question! Both options are actually possible for your 2017 Ford Escape. If you stick with the # 75782 you can use the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR to adapt your bike rack. You can also choose to add the Class II # 36529 which has a 1-1/4" receiver. The only downside to the smaller hitch is you would need an adapter for any 2" accessories or ball mounts down the road. A 1-1/4" to 2" adapter will cut your capacity in half which doesn't...

• Availability of Adapter for Class III Draw-Tite Hitch on 2017 Ford Escape Carrying 1-1/4" Bike Rack
  Hey Terri, welcome back! You can still use the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR with the Draw-Tite # 75782 to carry your bike rack. I recommend sticking with the Class III hitch since the 2" receiver gives you more options overall and a higher capacity. I also recommend adding an anti-rattle # e38FV if you're using the reducer sleeve. If you would rather not use an adapter the Class II # 36524 has a 1-1/4" receiver to match your bike rack.

• What Bike Rack do I Need for My Step-Thru e-Bike and Carbon Fiber Bikes on Back of Travel Trailer?
  Hello Alan, I’m happy to help you find the right bike rack to suit your needs. For your two step-thru e-bikes on the back of a travel trailer, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR. This rack is rated for travel trailers, supports up to 70 pounds per bike, and, as you can see from the attached picture, it will work well for your step-thru bikes. There aren’t many bike racks rated for the back of a travel trailer. Unfortunately,...

• Do You Have a Riser for My Thule Bike Rack for 1 1/4" Receiver to Gain More Clearance?
  Hello Michael, We only have a riser that goes from a 1 1/4" hitch to a 2", so you will need to use the Trailer Hitch Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop/5" Rise - 6-1/2" L # e93YR with a reducer, the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR. I would like to point out that the # e93YR will cut your tongue weight in half. Or you could get the Combo Bar 6" with 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-911 and have a local fabricator weld you together a rise. Do...

• Availability of Class 2 Hitch for 2017 Kia Sorento SX
  Hey Mark! The only hitches available for your 2017 Kia Sorento SX are Class III like the # 306-X7320 you looked at or our own etrailer # e98843. Is there a specific reason you would like a Class II? If you have something that needs to fit a 1-1/4" hitch you can use a reducer like # e63YR.

• Availability Of 1-1/4" Hitch For 2024 Hyundai Tucson
  Hello Frank, thanks for reaching out. You are right that all of the hitches available for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson are 2" receivers. As of right now there are 5 hitches available and they are all 2". There would be no way to adapt another hitch to fit, so your best bet will be to use a hitch reducer like part # e63YR. This will insert into the 2" receiver and reduce it down to a 1-1/4" receiver.

• Recommended 4 Bike Rack to Replace Older Hollywood Racks 4 Bike Rack
  Jeff, I wasn't able to find anything relating to those part numbers, so I am not able to 100 percent confirm, but if the rack is 25-ish years old there's a good chance the Replacement 2" Shank Assembly for Hollywood Racks Road Runner and Traveler Bike Racks # HRRTD2 isn't going to work. I'd recommend either using a reducer # e63YR which changes your 2" hitch to a 1 1/4" hitch or upgrading your bike rack to a newer 4 bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes...

• What is the Best Way to Convert a 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Into a 1-1/4 Inch Receiver?
  Hello Jorge, We have a sleeve that will take your 2" to a 1 1/4", the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR. But we do not have an adapter with a rise that will go from a 2" to 1 1/4". What do you need the rise for? Just trying to better understand what you are using it for to see if we have a better part.

• 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Riser For 1-1/4" Hitch Mounted Accessories
  The Trailer Hitch Adapter # e93YR is the closest extender/riser to the Trailer Hitch Extender # e68YR you found. The adapter does change from the 1-1/4" receiver to a 2" receiver for the accessory. You would need the Reducer # e63YR to get back down to a 1-1/4" receiver. Be sure to consider both the extender you found and the adapter that I gave you above will reduce the capacity of the receiver by 50%.

• Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Mercedes B250
  No, I am sorry Ted but the Curt item # C12163 won't fit your 2018 Mercedes B250. The only hitch we have available for it is the Draw-Tite item # 75223 you referenced. If you are needing to use 1-1/4" accessories with this hitch, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63YR. This will allow you to use your accessories in the 2" receiver without sacrificing capacity. I have linked a couple of videos below so you can see how to get these parts set up.

• Recommended 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Reducer for a Bike Rack
  Since you're just hooking up a bike rack, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Reducer item # e63YR. Neither one of them will cut your tongue weight capacity in half because they are reducers not adapters. The difference between item # HT02 and item # e63YR is you can tow and hook up accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers with item # HT02. The etrailer Reducer item # e63YR is only meant to be used for accessories.

• How To Use 1-1/4" Kuat Tranfer Bike Rack with 2" Hitch
  I do have an option for you but the Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter part # D101 doesn't work on the Kuat Transfer, only the Kuat Transfer V2 which is the second generation of the rack. Instead, I recommend using the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e63YR which does the same thing, it's just a bit different. You will however need another hitch pin for this to work, the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98881 is what I recommend. Please note, Kuat does offer...
