Hello David, The reason it’s $1000 more is because of the whopping 0.2 cu. ft. of extra space..... just kidding! The main difference comes down to the exterior and features. The #GE48FR has a sleek glass front that gives it a glossy, modern look,…
Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…
Hey Bob, yes the Blue Ox Hitch part #BLU62UR does fit underneath the OEM hitch of your 2023 Ram 2500 and does sit flush as well. I attached a picture that shows this as well.

Hello Karla, Wow, that is a really nice e-bike! I do not blame you for wanting a ramp for your e-bike, just because you can lift your bike doesn't mean that you should. For your 2024 Aventon A-Level 2 step through Commuter E-bike I recommend the…
Hey Steve! I am going to give you a couple of options, because I don't know how far back your hitch pin hole is from the edge of your spare tire. The closest part of the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack item #RKY10002 is 7", from the hitch…
...point was this comment, Using an extender in a 2-1/2 inch receiver does not decrease the tongue weight capacity of the hitch like it would with 2 inch hitches. Why should that matter? Shouldnt it still...
Hey Kyle, so I checked with Torklift and we actually have the numbers wrong on the 21 inch version. The #TL46CR is actually rated for 550 lb tongue weight and 5,500 lb total trailer weight.

Adapt Your Ride with Ease
The 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapters are perfect for those looking to expand their vehicle's accessory options. Whether you're mounting a bike rack or a cargo basket, these adapters offer a sturdy and reliable solution for your towing needs.
This adapter allows you to use accessories designed for a 2-inch receiver on a vehicle with a 1-1/4 inch hitch. It's a simple yet effective way to expand your vehicle's capability, making it versatile for different towing needs like bike racks or cargo carriers.
A proper fit ensures stability and safety. If the adapter is too loose, it can cause wobbling, which is not ideal for transporting items like bikes. Ensuring the hitch pin aligns correctly is crucial for a secure connection, preventing any potential issues during travel.
Consider the compatibility with your vehicle's receiver and the accessories you plan to use. Check the alignment of the hitch pin hole and ensure it fits snugly to avoid any movement. Also, assess the build quality to ensure it can handle the weight of your accessories.
While the adapter itself doesn't directly affect performance, an improper fit can lead to instability, which might impact driving comfort. Ensuring a secure fit and using the adapter within its weight limits will help maintain a smooth ride.
Common issues include misalignment of the hitch pin hole, leading to difficulty in securing the adapter. Some find the fit too loose, causing wobbling. It's important to check compatibility with your vehicle and accessories to avoid these problems.
