Insert this heavy-duty drop hitch receiver adapter into your 2" hitch to get up to an 8" rise or drop for high or low ground clearance.

by:

Nice solid product, but the shank is not as "large" as the blue ox tow bar, so there is a lot of slop in the connection. The shank is also rounded, which means that even with the blue ox hitch stabilizer, there is still slop.



by:

So pleased with etrailer in their ordering department and delivery service. So friendly, reliable and honest. Thank you.



by:

Quality and easily adjustable.



by:

Service is excellent and my salesman was super.



by:

Great fitment, and the adjustable sleeve fits very tight to the drop/riser bracket, which limits excess movement, slop, and noise.



by:

We love it. Makes getting our bikes on and off so much easier!@



by:

Adjustable riser working great on my motorhome. Was towing a pickup, and switched to a wrangler this year and was able to adjust my tow height to natch up with the jeeps tow bracket. Great product.



by:

Very good company to deal with!

Very
satisfied!



by:

I haven’t used it yet but I have mounted it to our motorhome. We will be flat towing our 88 Jeep Wrangler. I have hooked it up and it appears that it will be fine.



by:

Good service, great product! Love the order status and tracking information on the website. Thank you!



by:

This is solidly built. Adjustable heights to make towing my jeep set up perfect. Blue Ox tow bar with this hitch is the right set up.



by:

Great height adapter. Well made, all pin holes are clean, and went on my JD tractor receiver hitch easily.



by:

Works great, just what I needed.



by:

Received two days quicker than expected. And functions as advertised.



by:

I received the order very quickly and it is high quality



by:

Its exactly what i needed. Support was awesome. Tracking super easy, i knew exactly when it was delivered and ill never worry about this drop hitch failing



by:

I use the Blue Ox Adjustable hitch receiver adapter as a “rise” coupled with a Blue Ox tow bar system to flat tow a lifted Jeep Wrangler. This adapter is a beast; strong, sturdy, easy to use, & is a great addition to the tow system arsenal.



by:

Screw hole wasn’t treaded properly or was painted over. Steve Denker in the Blue Ox customer service department wishes me luck in borrowing a tap and fixing their manufacturing issue myself. Not what I expect from blue ox. Was going to return and hope they got the next one right, but not the right thing to do for the supply chain or the environment, so I’ll buy a tap and get it done.



by:

Easy to use. Makes attaching and detaching towed vehicle a breeze.



by:

Absolute must if you have a roll pan as it allows the tag to be visible so you don't have to remove the hitch every time and moves the trailer off the truck.
Had wrote a longer review but screen reloaded biggest thing is it works meets measurements and the piece on the end will take any regular shank as the one I had purchased from Walmart came with a 3 ball shankbut it was shortened to fit the hole so only that shank was compatible with the Walmart hitch



by:

Works Great perfect for different heights vehicles



by:

I have been towing our car with this hitch for a year no with no complaints.



by:

Great product for flat towing a lifted vehicle. Very strong and high quality. Allows tow bar to be level with the towed vehicle and the towing vehicle for safer towing

I wasnt able to use it. Blue Ox told me max two devices in the RV receiver AND maximum 12 2nd device collar to RV receiver collar. Had to remove it and lower mounting points on my Jeep.



by:

This hitch does ac perfect job towing our Jeep Wrangler behind our motorhome. Perfect solution to bumper height difference.



by:

This is a well built drop hitch receiver.
One of the lynch pins I received with mine does not work properly.
It has quite a bit of play which will lead to rattling when in use. I advise using an anti-rattle device with it.

  • What All Do I Need To Flat Tow A 2023 Ford Maverick?
    Congrats on the new car. I can definitely help set you up with everything you need. Lets start with the base plate and work our way from there.

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2024 Chevrolet Trax
    So currently(6/11/24), the only custom fit base plate I see available for your 2024 Chevrolet Trax is the Demco # DM59YV. Not sure if this is what you meant you have. If you can verify this and which non-binding tow bar you have I can verify if you will need any type of adapter. As for the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR you will want to make sure you have a Charge Line # RM-156-25 to prevent the battery on your Trax from being drained. You will also need the Wiring # DM9523010-54...

  • Can A Dual Hitch Adapter Be Used To Carry Bike Rack While Using Tow Bar?
    Hello Tom, yes, that is possible! The best way to do this is with a dual hitch adapter like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-10. This gives you two hitch receivers with 10" between them. Typically, this would be enough clearance between the bike rack and the tow bar. Although depending on what vehicle and bike rack you have, you may run into issues with the bikes hitting the towed car on sharp turns. Just something to be aware of. The picture I included shows an example...

    Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out. I had one of the Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapters # BLU28XR pulled from our warehouse so we could measure. I stuck a tape measure in the receiver portion and I got 3-5/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the farthest point in the back of the receiver. I edited a picture to help illustrate. I hope this helps and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
