Best Minivan Hitch Adapters

It worked, till it didn't. It's a short smaller tube inside a larger tube, only held together by two spot welds. The spot welds split/detached allowing the inner sleeve free movement! I have a bike w stinger expanded to grip the inner tube and a little safety catch on outside. The safety catch was the only thing keeping my rack from sliding completely off! For the price this should've been a solid milled piece. Don't rely on these welds unless you have two through hitch pins one on car and one through the adapter end.

Based on an initial fit, the bike rack stinger is a bit loose in the reducer. If tightening the threaded pin does not reduce the wobble, I can add some shims since I intend to keep the reducer mounted on the bike rack. The reducer is an easy fit into the 2" receiver - the Quiet Hitch removed any movement.

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.

I would like to tell you about my experience with etrailer.com. I am a return customer because I always find what I need at reasonable prices, quick and inexpensive shipping charges. I ordered this for a 1999 GMC Safari to fit my new Draw Tite hitch. I use it for my bike rack which fits like a glove. I highly recommend etrailer.com. I feel they are a very good company to deal with because I get personal service which is uncommon these days.

The product is 5 star, packaging and shipping is a 0. I am not sure how this hitch extender ever made it to my residence due to the lack of proper packaging (see photo.) When the package arrived, I did not need to open the box, I only had to reach throught the hole and pull it out. This is not the first time I've had issues with etrailer packaging. When I ordered the extender, the screen showed I would receive it Saturday. Received it 3 days later.

I use this on my Yamaha Kodiak 700 and it works great with my cargo carrier. I needed an extender in order for the carrier to not rub against the back tires. No complaints.

I use the extender on my bike rack so I can access my tailgate and truck bed with the rack on. It does what it supposed to do and looks barely used although I travel to trails twice a week.

Good quality, heavy duty took a couple extra days to get here otherwise great product

Product was delivered on-time as expected. This adapter is being used on a Volvo XC60 with a retractable receiver. Although it fit in the receiver the locking hitch pin did go all the way thru without a little brute force. Not sure if it is a receiver, adapter, or a hitch pin problem. Would have been nice to have a little more guidance.

The part was for a 2025 Volvo XC60. It fits perfectly with the Volvo’s tow hitch. I can now use my bike rack without an issue.

etrailer's Customer Service, Delivery, and Quality Products are Great! Every question and concern I had was promptly replied to and was rectified

The adapter seems to be of very good quality. Before looking at etrailer I'd been having a hard time finding adapters that had both the 5/8" hole (#3 pin) for attachment to my 2" trailer hitch, and a 1/2" diameter hole to attach the 1-1/4" bike rack. Some just had one size holes, others had terrible reviews. The fit is good, though there is some wiggle room. From all the reviews I've seen, ALL adapters have some movement, and the only solution is adding a locking collar, which I may do after I've tried it for a while (I just got it today). Bottom line, I'm happy with my purchase.

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.

Appears to be well built and sturdy. I’m sure it will accomplish what ineeded

Heavy duty. Probably overkill for our e-bike rack but we needed it lower. Thanks for the fast delivery.

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 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.

Work great! I needed an extension due to my truck camper. It holds my heavy duty bike rack and 2 ebikes with no problems.

From purchase to delivery went well excellent job to all. God is great I give him all the praise for helping me get this done. I was in an accident which damaged my swing away hitch and Hollywood rv back rack.these are built very well I would recommend.

I like the solid construction of the Yakima Backswing, which I would give 5 stars for. The hitchlock that came with it is why I took one star away. The plastic cover doesn't stay put, leaving the key slot exposed to water at all times. No matter how many times I try to make it stay, it just slips off. Yakima should do better with this.

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.

Sits fairly loose in the 1 1/4" hitch receiver. Also didn't come with a hitch pin, so you have to buy that separately too.

I purchase this to use with a Thule bike rack. The Thule rack requires a 2-in receiver so this should have worked. However it's so shaky and loose that I didn't feel comfortable driving it down the street. I should have returned it but I went back to using another vehicle I have with a 2-in receiver.

Hitch pin hole was too far up the shaft and couldn't lock into the receiver. Had to return.

This is a much higher quality (thick and heavy) than I imagined it would be; I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll be using it to mount a trailer hitch cargo carrier and a dog step at the same time when we go on long vacations.

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.

Structurally strong! Chain and turnbuckles created an extension for my RV extension bumper with storage box. Thought with chains it might need constant re-tightening but has remained tight, after initial trip of 5500mi. Of towing car dolly!

I use this to haul my travel trailer with my tailgate open and my RZR in the bed of the truck. It goes together easily and is extremely solid when mounted. Much stronger than just an extension tube.

I got this hitch extender to put on my camper so that I could mount my bike rack. It worked like a charm!! The bike rack and bike were super solid on the trip cross country!!

Excellent support and delivery was excellent - as is always the case when dealing with E-Trailer staff.

This is going to be great to be able to swing out bikes out of the way so we can get in the back of the jeep.

Exactly what I was looking for. Can swing the bikes out of the way to access the truck bed. Locks back into position and I am not worried about it being secure.

Quick processing and delivery and Will our sales rep was an excellent help in picking the correct hitch extender. This was an excellent choice as it gave the clearance needed for the bike rack and has a built in anti-wobble feature included. One thing to note, this is for racks only and it is not designed for towing anything.

Great product, simply gets the Job Done!! Spare tire on Jeep Rubicon, no impediment, no problem!!

Already have a Sris bike rack, has been an excellent rack and well be compatible with this hitch, both very well built

Built very strong, easy to install and operate. Using with Thule Apex XT 2 bike rack.

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.

The locking pin can not be secured adequately on one of my trucks because it requires access for nut on the opposite side of entry. The external receptical is not deep enough for a 3-5/16 ball solid hitch, as in it bottoms out before the pin hole is in line. It does work for our 2" ball hitches.

Excellent product and no issues after many trips with bike rack and heavy eBike. Using this hitch extender on a Mitsubishi Outlander.
