Most Popular 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch for 2014 Subaru Forester

I purchased this to accept a previously purchased bike rack.

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.

Made well. Fits a little tight when I install my existing 11/4 Thule bike rack . The only issue is that the bolt that secures the bike rack to the adapter is a little short so I will have to look for a longer bolt.

Fantastic Product. Saved me from having to buy a brand new bike holder for my new car with a different hitch size.

Professional, delivered a day early. As promised. What more can you want.

Hitch adapter is exactly what I ordered. However this review is not really about the adapter itself. It is about Etrailer.com's customer service. The adapter was shipped in the box along with a new hitch that I had ordered. The shipper somehow destroyed the box and only the hitch arrived. The adapter was lost. When I reported the missing adapter, Etrailer.com immediately shipped out a new adapter, which I received a couple of days later. Problems do happen, what makes the difference is how a company responds and takes care of the problem. Etrailer.com response and handling of the problem far exceeded my expectations and will be one of the reasons I will consider them first for any of my needs that they can supply. Bravo Zulu

The fact that it's steel is a plus, and it extends the hitch so that the bike rack that's attached now is far enough away from the hatch to not bang against it. Great product!

Wanted this adapter so I could use my 1 1/4" bike rack on my 2" hitch. Sized is reduced by welded steel plates inside the reducer. Poor tolerances. Was more like 1 3/8" inside width, so my 1 1/4" bike rack mount flops over to one side or the other.

Another great product from etrailer. This item along with my recent hitch purchase is the "one two" punch for quality products and service. Etrailer is absolutely the best. Would highly recommend their products and great service to everyone that is looking for quality at an incredible price.
