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 Hitches - 8" Long
Just received my 80307 Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Long. My newly upsized spare tire had been preventing the use of my hitch rack. Was very pleased with the etrailer service and the ease of using the website. The excellent descriptions, photos, and even videos really help shopping for these types of specialty parts. Shipping went well and expediently. I trial fit the extension with my hitch rack today, and the photos are attached. It fit well and did the trick. I drove around and heard no rattles from it at all.
Needed to extend receiver to reach past box and add a carrier for cans.

Hitch Adapter 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver - 7" Long

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

Hitch Extender For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver 10"
I recently had a hitch installed on my car. Since the cargo carrier that I have was used previously without an adapter, I assumed that I didn't need one. Now trying to locate one was more of an effort than locating a hitch. The local auto parts stores of national brands don't keep them in stock. One store made an inquiry but didn't give me much hope. Now I can make a rode trip in confidence that the carrier will be secure as I head down the interstate.
Quality product and excellent service from etrailer.com! The Hitch Extender works well allowing me to back my boat trailer further into the deeper water.

Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 2" Rise/Drop - 10K GTW, 400 lbs TW
Ordered exactly what I needed to lift my tow bar !!! Love that etrailer carries roadmaster products
Excellent product! Needed to raise receiver to keep my Versahaul bike rack from scraping when entering or exiting inclined driveways. Works a treat and a well built solid unit.

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.

CR Brophy Hitch Extender for 1-1/4" Hitch Receivers - 5-3/4" Long
Here in Saskatoon, Canada, I am very pleased to endorse J&J's flagpole holder and hitch mount extension products. Solid construction and beautifully finished engineered pieces. Fitted easily onto my '92 Camaro RS, for Shriner parades. Supporting a worthy philanthropic effort for children.
1 1/4" extension fit well (could be a tiny more snug). but was just what i needed for my mini cooper and new bike rack. Fast Ship good price and I would use them again. Now i can use my bike rack! :)

Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise
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.
For being so expensive, you would think it would be better quality. It’s not aligned properly and when i attach my bike rack, it’s crooked. Second, the weld was sloppy and had extra solder. So much so, that i couldn’t push it into the hitch far enough to get the pin in. I had to remove some solder do it would fit properly (all the way in so i could put the pin in). The adapter was almost as expensive as the hitch.

Advantage SportsRack Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 11" Long
This is a very good product. However you need to be careful what vehicle and bike rack that you intend to use with it. My vehicles 2" hitch was not hollow past the end and the hitch extender bottomed in the hitch before the 2nd hole could be lined up and used. So the 2nd hole on the vehicle side was unusable. Then using the Swagman Chinook 2 bike rack I found that the bike rack hitch could not be inserted deep enough into this hitch extender to be able to use the 2nd hole in the extender, on the rack side. With that situation I was not able to use the 2 holes that would get the bike rack installed in the shortest distance from the rear of the. vehicle.
Bought this for the front hitch on a John Deere gator. The winch got in the way of the hitch, so a minor extension was needed. This is the perfect product. Use front hitch for positioning boats in my garage for winter storage. Works great for this application - short moves, not towing as this product is not certified for towing. Recommended.

Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 14" Long
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.

Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver (Class II Only)
This adapter allows us to use a bike rack we have across all our cars. It is perfect for light duty applications, easy to use and it can be stored in the trunk until you need it. I would definitely recommend it.
I was concerned that the adapter might not fit on my 2023 Toyota Venza, LE, but it fits just fine. So, the notice that the adapter will not fit a class one hitch does not apply to the Venza, even though the Venza specifications indicates it is a class one hitch.

Curt Hitch Extender for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers - 7" Long
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.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long
Ordered for our Kuat rear mount bike rack, as our SUV had a larger hitch receiver. Well built, clean machining and a perfect fit. Fast shipping and exactly as advertised. Great communication surrounding the order. Couldn't recommend more.
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!

Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7"
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.
Allows me to use my back rack and small boat trailer without having to remove the spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler. Works well.

Buyers Products 3" to 2" Receiver Tube Adapter
Unfortunately this receiver adapter did not fit my Ford F250 3" hitch, way too tight. Worked with Arthur from e-trailer to obtain a return/refund. After looking at reviews, I see many other folks had the same issue. If I were e-trailer I would pull this item from my product offering.
When I went to use this my bike rack would not fit in the 2" receiver because it was poorly made. Unfortunately it was well past etrailers 60 day return policy so they told me they would not help me. I contacted buyers myself and they were happy to help me and took the old one back and shipped me a new one that works great. If buyers did it for me, they certainly would have done it for etrailer but etrailer couldn't be bothered with it. I will buy buyers products again but will not buy anything from etrailer anymore. They also told me I would need to buy a whole new $XXX base for my bw companion hitch because the parts were not available. A quick call to bw and my. $XX parts were on their way. Again,poor service from etrailer. Back to local shops for me.

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.

Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches
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.
On our first trip the hitch worked wonderfully, but our bike rack failed us. On our second trip, the hitch bolts loosened and we constantly had to check to make sure it was not loose. Very disappointed in both products. We had them put on our vehicle by my adult son, who works with machinery. The product was poorly made and designed. This was not the fault of the user or the person who attached the hitch and rack.

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