Most Popular 4 Inch Extension for 2014 Subaru Forester

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.

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!

It works great,by moving the trailer back from the vehicle you can load longer items,so there are not hanging over the back of the trailer. It also helps in the backing of the trailer. Thank You

I would like to have the actual distance from the weld joint to the hitch pin hole of 4 1/2". This unit is slightly less than that.

The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers. On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.

This extender does a pretty good job of keeping my bike away from the rear radar system in my Venza so the backup warning system does not engage in error. Beware it’s pretty heavy.

Perfect for my application.

Everything was delivered fast and in perfect condition.

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.

Who do I contact about getting the right extension bar? The one I ordered Is a 2 1/2 inch which I need a 2 inch to slide into my receiver or if you guys have a 10 to 12 inch, 2 inch extension so I can connect it I sent a photo of the end that is 2 1/2 which I need it to be 2 inches to slide into my receiver

Received the product on time and as described however two days later I found it on Amazon for $167 vs the $XXX I paid from etrailer. When I called to see about a price adjustment - they couldn’t assist and offered return and re-purchase from Amazon - minus a $XX return shipping. Lesson learned.

Works well on my side by side to get the ball to a usable reach. The threaded pin makes it difficult to take on and off (can't use a non threaded in). I have to lay on the ground to do this. It does not rattle that is for sure so in an application where that is important, and where you have normal access I am sure it is fine. I simply needed this specific length.

My wife and I purchased a travel trailer a year ago. The tailgate of my truck was too close to the trailer to allow it to open. I purchased the extension from you to eliminate that problem. I purchased this one because it is 2" solid and had a 10k rating.
