Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
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.

MaxxTow Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" to 1-1/4" Hitch - 11" Long
Installed my 2” hitch but don’t have a 2” bike trailer yet. I purchased this to continue to use my 1.25” bike trailer (until I find a deal). Used this over Thanksgiving weekend on I35 in Texas (tons of traffic)and I’m very pleased with the performance. I’m was secure and bikes traveled just fine.
I ordered this adapter from e-Trailer so I could extend my bike rack past my spare tire on my 2005 Honda CRV. This solved my problem and this thing is well made to take the weight. I'm glad I purchased from e-trailer because I know now that they sell quality products as I have also purchased a new receiver, ball mount and 2' ball to pull my trailer. If your goal is quality, great service and fast shipping then e-Trailer is one company to go with.

Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7"
Allows me to use my back rack and small boat trailer without having to remove the spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler. Works well.
I needed my bike to clear my bumper on a front hitch and this did the trick. This extender is hollow so I was able to use anti rattle/ lock before adding bike rack.

Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2"
Excellent product, very sturdy. We have been using them on our trailers for years.
This hitch worked well on my Kona electric. Etrailer provides outstanding service. Will definitely purchase from this quality company again.

Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch 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.

Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Passenger's Side
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.

Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
Overall, I like the design and the build quality and the paint job. However Yakima should fix the following issues.. 1) the mounting/locking bolt is 23mm. Not a common size wrench people have laying around. They could have provided a crude wrench that fits this bolt. 2) secondly and more importantly the Jesus clip that fits over the pin that mounts the clasp flew off and bent when I operated the clasp. It happened a second time when I used the spare Jesus clip. The solution was to insert the pin in the opposite direction and install the clip on the opposite side. Still, there is a chance that the clasp could hit the Jesus clip on that side too, so I'll just have to be aware when operating the clasp to make sure this does not happen. I will probably come up with some type of spacer that centers the clasp buckle so that it clears the Jesus clip, I just haven't had time to look into it in any detail yet.
Solid, bullet proof, yet the convenient swing away allows unrestricted access to the back of my vehicle. It is heavy, but being made of steel, it holds a heavy load. I have an old solid steel Thule rack that I modified so that I can move the bike carrier bars 180 degrees - from the traditional position carrying the bikes away from the car and carrier, or flipped over so that the bike carriers rest on my spare and carry the bikes between the rack and the car. This allows me to carry very heavy bikes, such as e-bikes compactly without extending the length of my vehicle much, and still allowing me to use the swing away feature of the Yamaha extender. Photo shows a light road bike on the hitch, but it works equally as well with heavier or multiple bikes.

Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
Already have a Sris bike rack, has been an excellent rack and well be compatible with this hitch, both very well built
Love it! It swings out of the way so I can get the back door open. The other advantage is it allows the back door to be open a few inches at night (when the hitch is in the locked position) for airflow when it’s hot.
