Job well done. Arrived quickly and in perfect packaging. Agent was very helpful advising me what would work for my application.
Just as promised. Solid extension, just what I needed.
The staff at etrailer was very professional and helpful.
Heavy duty and priced right with anti rattle
Works perfectly, just what I needed so the bike rack would clear the spare tire on the wrangler!
Easy installation, install and forget.
Works perfectly on my Jeep. Bought this so we could put our bike rack on without removing the spare tire. Works like a charm high quality product with super easy installation.
This will give you the extra clearance needed between your bike rack and your tailgate. Had one stolen. just replaced it with this one that actually locks! Have not had a chance to install it yet.
Delivery was fast, packaged very well, and the hitch extension is really well made. It is perfect for getting my bike rack away from my rear door to allow access to the back of my Forester. Impressive construction. I will recommend it to others.
Excellent construction and supplied with anti-rattle lock.
I would purchase again and recommend to others.
Purchase made to allow tailgate to open without removing bike rack.
Works great. The eight inch extension was the perfect length to clear my spare tire. The locking anti-rattle pin eliminates any movement. My bike rack had a similar pin, so very secure installation. If the lock had a dust cover, it would be 5 star.
Prompt shipping, works as advertised. The keyed end of the hitch pin lock seems a little less than solid but really haven't put it through any stress yet, just one trip near town.
Works great! Keeps my Tule bike rack away from Subaru Outback tailgate. I would have preferred something and inch or two shorter.
Nice product. Had to have it for bike rack to work on odyssey van. Nice that it came with locks too. I just leave it on all the time.
Very high quality,fits just right. Perfect for what i need
Extension is what I needed to have so that suv back hatch would clear the 5x8 haul trailer. Item is solid and I like the anti rattle feature.
This hitch item not only worked exactly like I needed, but was of superior construction, as it included a unique primary lockpin idea that keeps the extension from wobbling, as well as locking the part to the vehicle receiver. I always get more value than expected on the accessories from etrailer.

Still the perfect hitch accessory, as mentioned, and I use it on all 3 vehicles I tow with.
The only concern I have is that the lock is plastic. I purchased a bike rack from rocky mounts and it has two locks and they are both metal with a rubber cover to prevent dirt and grime from getting into the key hole. I was hoping this extension would come with the same type of lock.
Very solid extender. Exactly as describ ed.
Excellent product and no issues after many trips with bike rack and heavy eBike. Using this hitch extender on a Mitsubishi Outlander.
great fit, craftsman ship tightens down nicely with included locking pin
High quality product. Works perfectly with my bike rack to give me the clearance I need to be able to lower the tailgate on my Tacoma without hitting the rack.
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.

That's a bummer about your one truck. But I am glad that you can still use it else where.
I bought this hitch extender to move my Swagman bike rack further away from the back of my trailer because the bike handle bars were rubbing against the trailer. I chose this extension because of the anti-rattle pin to better secure the hitch during transport. This extension moved the bikes far enough away that the handle bars no longer rubbed against the trailer. It also allowed the receiver to be centered on the back of the trailer because the bike tires no longer interfered with the spare tire on the back, provided clearance to access the city water connection with the bikes still loaded, and provided better visibility to one of the rear taillights since the receiver could be moved to the center of the trailer. After a 2,000 mile journey, the pin never came loose and the bike rack on the extension rode smoothly. This extension solved many issues i was having with the bike rack on the back of my trailer.
Exactly what we needed for our 2023 Defender! Works perfectly with the LR bike rack.
