Best 2005 Mini Cooper Hitch Adapters

Just what I needed to bring the bikes and tow my Mini Cooper behind our RV. Ordered it on line and was shipped out quickly.

Exactly what I needed. Now able to add storage box and still pull tow Dolly.

The extender fit perfectly

Great Product - Fits perfectly on my Mini Cooper S. I purchased to extend a MiniDoMore Hidden Hitch, which previously required crawling under the car to attach accessories. Now it is much more useable with the hitch extender installed. This was the perfect size to put the hitch tube just an inch or two beyond the bumper to allow easy access to insert hitch pin and clip as needed.

Very heavy duty. Will use it with a bike rack I had for another vehicle that had a 2" receiver.

Solidly made. Wish all of these would come with optional locking pins and clamps to minimize movement as I use mine primarily for a bike rack with very nice bikes aboard.

Perfect for my application.

Nice product? Fast shipping

Beefy. I have no doubts of the capacity of either side of this hitch adapter, there's plenty of weld to hold it all together. Very few options will provide minimal drop (for an off-road trailer) and minimal rise on the other side for an additional bike rack or cargo carrier. Jeeps are tough since you need to be able to open the gate. This one clears no problem. My spare is up on a slant back carrier, but I think the stock spare should clear as well. Get you a "Trimax THC200 Universal Anti-Rattle Clamp Fits 2" Hitch" and this thing is solid as stone.

Extremely high quality And quick delivery

Worked out great for my family bike adventure. Traveled with that setup over 1000 miles and it was easy drive. I had cargo carrier on the bottom and bike rack on top, and with that setup and 4 people on board still plenty of ground clearance 11". Dual hitch is a solid piece of steel that can carry a lot of lbs. Just don't overload max. tong weight, need some room for safety!

I had to remove burrs from the inside of the tube, both at the holes drilled (for hitch pin) and the end where the ball hitch goes in. The welded boss on the end of the tube had burs left over from the cutoff operation. The ball hitch would only slide in a couple of inches prior to deburring it. Also the packaging was not very good, see pictures. No damage to the product but I am surprised it even stayed in the box during the trip here, it was completely loose in the box and tore it apart during transport.

The product is good the packaging for shipping needs improvement. The box came ripped in half and only the tape on the bottom of the box was holding the box together. The plastic cap for the one end was broken and unusable. The other end had a dent in the metal that had to be filled down to be able to insert it into the receiver. The bracket for the plug extension to mount into the hitch extension was bent together so it had to be bent back straight. This was to be able to insert the plug and line up the 4 holes to be able to mount the receiver plug to the extension.

Great product

I love the product not just for the obvious reasons such as it’s extremely durable and well made for safety but specifically for length of the arm. The arm length is just long enough to clear my hitch rack walls, which allowed me to plug in my bike rack. I would certainly recommend this product to others. I haven’t seen any marketing for this specific use case so have at it.

Perfect fit to extend the hitch to allow my bike rack to clear the back bumper. Great quality as well.

This hitch extension was exactly what I needed. New hitch on the Toyota Avalon has the receiver box a little too far under the bumper to fit my bike carrier. The diagonal support on the carrier didn't allow hitch pins to align without modifying (cutting) bumper. This extension was a simple yet effective solution to moving the carrier away from rear of vehicle. (Photos were taken without hitch pin in place) The item was in stock and shipped rapidly. Thank you etrailer.

Ordered exactly what I needed to lift my tow bar !!! Love that etrailer carries roadmaster products

Solid hitch bar, welding and paint jobs look good.

PERFECT FOR MY EBIKE RACK

The Curt C45785 1.25 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter seems well-constructed, but does NOT fit the current SPA Volvo OEM 1.25 inch automatic retractable hitch receptacle (mine is on a 2020 V60 Cross country). The lock pin hole doesn't go back far enough to accommodate the pin -- see photo.

The "Hitch Extender" that I ordered works great. Everytime I go RVing in my Winnebago MH I utilize it. Jerry Barnes

The product arrived much faster than I expected. It seems to be well made and substantial and should do what I need. I need it to extend my Swagman rack further away from my car's bumper so I don't have to remove the peddle on my inside bike.

This has worked great to reduce my 2" hitch so that I can continue to use my 1 1/4" Thule bike rack, and I like that it doesn't extend out much from the hitch. After my last trip though, the inset separated from the larger piece. I can still use it, but without the smaller piece fixed in place, I can't put it on the car first and then slide the bike rack into it since the smaller piece slides, and it's impossible to line the holes up. It's also rusted more than I expected. It wasn't inexpensive, and I was hoping it would last longer. I've used it for maybe a dozen trips.

Perfect fit BUT the inner tube broke away from the outer tube after about a dozen trips. One small weld on the outside corner is all that holds it on. The small amount of play must have been too much for it. I was even using an anti-rattle lock pin. Very disappointing due to the price point. And now it’s unsafe to use as it could slip right out of the receiver.

Used the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver to have a bike rack with two bikes on the upper Receiver and a 21' bassboat on the lower Receiver. Ran down to Florida Everglades, Florida Keys and back home. Almost exactly 4,000 miles. Hitch worked perfectly. I did find that you can not "jacknife" the boat as much or the bow of the boat will touch the bikes on the rack but that is to be expected. Hitch was quiet, strong and exceeded my expectations. Easy to install and looking forward to using it again in a month for another 4,000 mile road trip. Note: I drive fast and the roads are not always perfect. This is a sturdy Hitch Receiver. Hope this review helps you. Sorry, crummy photo as the Receiver is a "set it and forget it" product. Be well.

I bought this Dual Purpose Receiver at Twice the price of that Big online company because of reviews from owners that bought on both sites. After evaluating the reviews, I chose to go with etrailer because I have come to trust them as a company that gives you a great product that they will stand behind and they appreciate your business. I haven’t used this receiver yet, but can look at it and I am comfortable that I made the right choice. I will follow up with another review after I use it.

Thank you for the personal touch on the order. Not many company's do this. This is a good product and a good price. My car sits low and we needed to raise the carrier up. Looks like this will work out.

I bought this adapter so that I could mount a bike rack on the back of my 2012 Honda Civic. The adapter got the bikes high enough so that they wouldn't hit the pavement when backing out of my driveway and transitioning to the street. The product is definitely strong and well made. It was put to the test with a very heavy steel thule bike rack that was definitely heavier than all 4 of the bikes that were mounted on it. The fit was precise so it didn't hit my rear bumper as well.

Excellent product, solidly built and easy to install. I was hesitant because of the full size spare tire on the back ladder. The videos and the specifications (especially the sizing details) gave me all the info I needed to make the decision to install it on my Sprinter. The swing away rack gives me full access to the rear of the vehicle. I wish I had bought it sooner.

I just installed the Pivot2 on my Dodge Ram and plugged my NV2 into it. The Pivot is a beast. I can now swing the NV2 completely out of the way to access the bed or drop the tailgate so I can load my wife's trike. etrailer, you guys rock. Thanks.

Love the rack and the folks at e-trailer got it to me remarkably fast. Everything looked great set up for the most part. The directions were very clear and it required minimal effort.

Shipped ahead of schedule in excellent condition. Kuat Pivot is built extremely well, heavy duty, and looks sharp.

This is sobeasy to install! It only took me 20 minutes. This definitely gives me much needed storage space for my 2023 Thor Scope 18M

Stout and well executed. EASY to install. Could use some ergonomic tweaks (I’m 70), but overall is a very good value. We’ll see, cuz we haven’t gone 10K miles yet... etrailer rocks btw

One person install with the truck camper on the truck. Super simple. I used my rolling kobalt shop stool to carry the 48” extension’s weight when I slid it into the receiver. Easy peasy. I have a 2019 F350 DRW (8’ box) and a 2021 Arctic Fox 1140 with the Fox Landing. 48” was perfect. My Yakima bike rack is great with the Fox Landing up and the bike rack swings down when I want to lower the stairs. Highly recommend.

Thank you for reaching out. After I received some of the missing parts I was able to use few days later. I'm still missing parts that were never shipped that I used 1/2 steel plate between my hitch and the 2 Grade 8 bolts used in the extension to snug and stop bouncing. So other than that. I'm able to tow my boat with my truck camper. But i would like to havr all the parts...

I put a 1.25" trailer hitch on a Ford Fusion Hybrid so I could mount one of my cargo baskets that require a 2" hitch on it. It worked fine to allow for this.

Working fine for me. It sticks out from behind car, but I like it this way as to reach it.
