Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
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 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise
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.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4" (Class II) to 2" - 6" Long
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.
Great product from an even greater company. ETRAILER has the knowledge and products to solve most any trailering problem.

Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 4" Drop/Rise
Exactly what I needed. Now able to add storage box and still pull tow Dolly.
Etrailer’s customer is actually customer service. There’s real people who are there to help. Kate helped me get my order the next day after I realized I accidentally switched the billing and shipping addresses on the order form.

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.
I personally couldn't use it. But I know metal industry very well and this will work perfectly in its environment. It was just not needed and I never put it on.

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 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 Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 10" Drop/Rise
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.

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.

Draw-Tite Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long
I was surprised by just how solid and heavy it was made. Just what I needed to move my Bobcat UTV hitch back to I can use it as my yard dog to shift my trailers around and not worry about the plastic tailgate nor the plastic bed getting damaged. The hitch sits under the bed and this extends it out so it is useable.
The hitch extension worked perfect. The only one that was 18" pin to pin which was exacty what I needed to make this combo work. Dual hitch to start. Top whole a luggage rack to haul coolers and the bottom for the bike rack. Thanks etrailer.

Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter with 2" or 6" Drop/Rise
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!
This adapter design was exactly what I was looking for. I often carry 4 or more bikes with my Sylvan GO. The pictures show how I configured my setup. Its perfect!!! And yes, I have to be a little careful on really tight turns but its never been an issue. Thank you George and the etrailer team.

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.

Trailer Hitch Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 4-1/2" Drop/5" Rise - 6-1/2" L
Perfect and simple item. It was easy to install. I purchased an accessory with receiver opening of 2” and my jeep had 1 1/4 receiver.
I love it! It’s allowed me to use a 2 inch bike rack on the back of my sedan in a safe manner.

Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Rise/Drop
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.
The hitch has held up over Alaskan roads towing a jeep, but it does not sit level in the receiver so the tiny little bit that it sags is exaggerated when the tow bar is connected. Paint starting to peel with wear after a year.

Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 6-1/2" Long
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.
Thule Roof Basket Review - 2017 Kia Soul
Today on our 2017 Kia Soul, we're going to test fitting the Thule Canyon XT roof cargo basket, part number TH859XT. The Thule Canyon XT is great for carrying your camping gear, your luggage, sporting goods equipment, anything you want to keep out from the inside, or to free up more space on the inside. It measures 49 inches long, by 40 inches wide, and by six inches tall at the highest point. It comes with the farring 00:00:24 unit already installed, and that coupled with the aerodynamic design of the cargo basket itself, you're going to cut down on wind noise and drag while you're driving. With the placement of the rack, you're not going to have to remove the antennae at all. Plus, it's not going to interfere at all with your rear hatch, as there's plenty of clearance between the two. Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's go ahead and show you it installs. We already have three of our U-bolts installed around the rack, let's go ahead and show you this last one here, on the passenger side.
Curt Roof Basket Review - 2017 Kia Soul
Today on our 2017 Kia Soul we're gonna be test fitting the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, part number C18115. The Curt Cargo Basket is great for carrying your luggage, your sporting goods equipment, or your camping gear and keeping it out of your vehicle. It measures 41 1/2 inches long by 37 inches wide by 4 inches high and has a carrying capacity of 150 pounds although always double check with your vehicle's manual to make sure it can withstand that weight on the roof. At the rear here we're not gonna have any issues of clearance between our hatch and the cargo basket itself. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the cargo basket, let's go ahead and show you how it installs. Now we have three of the legs already installed onto it, and at the back here we'll go ahead and show this one. Now at the top portion of our connection, just line it up and push it up into place like so.
Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2017 Kia Soul
Today on our 2017 Kia Soul we're going to be test fitting the 20 by 48 Surco cargo carrier for 1-1/4" hitches, part number 52017. Now this has a 300 pound carrying capacity. It also has this mesh floor here in the bottom which makes it easy to clean. We have this railing all the way around the cargo carrier, which can be used for your tie down straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you a couple quick measurements now. Measuring from the edge of the bumper to our outer point here, we've added about 23-1/2" to the rear of the vehicle. The ground clearance is going to be about 10".
Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2016 Kia Soul
Today on this 2016 Kia Soul, we're going to be test fitting the 20 x 48 Surco Cargo Carrier, part number 52017. This has a carrying capacity of 300 pounds and has a nice mesh floor, which makes it easy to clean. It also has this rail all the way around the cargo carrier, and you can use that as a tie-down point for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. Staring from the edge of the bumper to our outer edge here, we've added about 23-1/2 inches to the rear of the vehicle. The ground clearance to this edge here is going to be about 9-1/2 inches, and our closest point to this edge here is going to be about 2 inches. Then, from the center of the hitch pinhole to our edge here is going to be about 6 inches, so if you have different hitches for this vehicle, from the center of the hitch pinhole out, that's how far it's going to stick out. Also, the exhaust on this vehicle is going to be on the passenger side, but it does face down and is about 11-1/2 inches to our cargo carrier itself, so just keep it in mind maybe put some more of your heat-sensitive materials over to the driver side. Now, with it in this position, we do have full access to our rear hatch to get whatever we need. However, I'm going to go ahead and give you a break-over point measurement, and that's going to be the point where whatever it is you're hauling will come into contact with your rear hatch.

All the way around the border of the cargo carrier are these points which you can use as tie-downs for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. Starting from the edge of the bumper out to our outer edge here, we've added about 25" to the rear of the vehicle. Our ground clearance is going to be about 13".
