Hello Andrew, Well that sounds like quite the fun trip, what state or states will you be traveling through? You're asking a really important question, especially since you're planning a cross-country trip with about 250 pounds of bikes and…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
Hey Eric, The hitch extenders that we currently offer for a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening unfortunately max out at 6,000lbs GTW and wouldn't be capable of towing the trailer. You're most likely going to need to upgrade to a TorkLift…
Thanks for all the details Jason! To get a Blue Ox tow bar to fit with the shackles on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport you'll need either the 7/8" #BX88357 or 1" #BX88358 Adapters, but just be sure to check with the manufacturer of your…
Hey Keith! Can you tell me a little more about what dimensions you're looking for? I can tell you the #RM83SR has a rise/drop of 4" but we don't have any other specific measurements on the adapter at this time. I would be happy to get…
Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a trailer hitch for the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Hybrid Platinum. For that I recommend the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"…
Hey Jeffrey! the overall height of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter #RM68BQ is 11-1/4". The distance from the hitch pin hole to the top receiver hitch pin hole is 8-1/4". I attached a picture the full dimensions below. What are…
Hey Scott! I love the products that you've picked out, but we're going to need to get you setup with a 2" receiver on your 2000 Ford Econoline because the adapter you have for your 1-1/4" adapter is going to already drop the tongue…
The only other extension option we carry besides the Torklift SuperTruss extender that does not cut your tongue weight in half is an extra long ball mount. Traditional extensions such as part #C45796 cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the…
Yes, it is Tim. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item #e98948 that fits a 2021 Jeep Wrangler is also Model Number: 9998948. Are you setting up a flat tow for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…
Hey Julie. For a coupler that fits a 2" wide trailer tongue, you'll need the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item #CT-3001-Z. It works with a 2" hitch ball and is compatible with the Replacement Extra Long Trailer Tongue for CE Smith…
The phone operator was very helpful and made my purchase easy. I will keep this website handy.

Hitch Reducers: Versatile Solutions for Towing
Hitch reducers are essential for adapting larger receivers to fit smaller hitch sizes, ensuring a snug fit and reducing rattle. They're perfect for those who need flexibility in towing different trailers or bike racks, offering a sturdy and reliable conne
Yes, hitch reducers are built to handle substantial weight, making them suitable for towing trailers and carrying bike racks. However, it's important to ensure the reducer is compatible with your specific setup, as some configurations may not be ideal for weight distribution hitches.
Hitch reducers ensure a tight fit between different hitch sizes, minimizing slop and rattle during towing. This stability is crucial for a smooth ride, especially when towing heavy loads or using bike racks. The design often includes features like magnets or clamps to secure the reducer in place.
Magnetic hitch reducers offer the convenience of easy installation and removal. The strong magnets hold the reducer securely in place, preventing it from slipping into the receiver. This feature is particularly appreciated for its ability to maintain a stable connection without additional tools.
When choosing a hitch reducer, consider the size compatibility with your receiver and hitch, the weight capacity, and any additional features like magnets or clamps for added security. It's also wise to check for any specific design elements, such as a lip, that enhance stability.
A lip design on a hitch reducer prevents the sleeve from sliding too far into the receiver, ensuring a secure fit. This feature is particularly useful when aligning the hitch and receiver, providing peace of mind that the connection will remain stable during use.
