Heavy duty. Solid tongue. Premium welds. Does not rattle.
Very solid build with bolt and locking pin.
Excellent product. The extension is doing what I expected. With the 10,000lb rating I have no question that this product was designed with functionality and quality. Great product.
Bought this extension for use on my front Curt receiver hitch on my 2010 Ford Raptor (hitch is under the bumper). I looked at a few extensions in person before settling on this one. I figured if I really needed to use it with my winch, I didn't want to skimp on the extension. Recently I did have to use my winch and am glad I bought this unit. This extension is extremely heavy duty and worth the money if you need a heavy duty extension.
Excellent product I’m very happy. Works well no wiggle.
Excellent hitch extender, very well built, arrived quickly.

Strong and durable, would highly recommend
The product is exactly as advertised; high quality and well constructed. More importantly was etrailer's service. My order was lost during delivery by the delivery service and etrailer shipped a replacement right away. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and they always follow up and thank you for your business. That means a lot. Thank you etrailer for your good customer service.

I flat tow my Wranglar behind my Coachman Freelander. This extension hitch works perfect to extend the Motorhome hitch out from under the bumper. I’ve used it many times. Thanks etrailer.
It is not a perfect fit for Mercedes benz AMG63. It is smaller than the space inserted into. I have put lots of tapes around it to fit it so it doesn't move so much.
This receiver extension is perfect for my need. Recently purchased new E-Bikes and new bike rack. My installation excitement fell when the rack contacted the spare tire of our Jeep while raising to folded position and couldn't latch.
Found the right size and placed the order. "George" responded quickly to say the order was shipping that day! Then it was delivered one full day earlier than promised.
Extremely happy with the fit and quality and the Anti Rattle pin is great.
Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Mark C. I did want to let you know that using hitch extenders like this one will reduce the hitchs overall capacity by 50 percent. This is something to keep in mind especially considering your new e-bike. Please make sure that the hitch, bike rack and all other components are not exceeding the reduced tongue weight when using the hitch extender.
I have a 60" x 20" x 20" cargo basket carrier that I'm intending on using on my Class B+ Motor Home. With the 2" hitch on the coach is slightly recessed, this makes the basket carrier is too close that I'm unable to open it up. This extender will be the fix.
Impressed with the construction of this. The half that slides into existing 2" hitch is solid square stock (not tube steel)... Heavy Duty!
Was also very pleased with etrailers customer service / shipping. They upgraded me from standard to 2 day priority.
Thanks etrailer (and George D)

George,Thank you for your review.Just a reminder that hitch extenders such as part # RM-071-1075 do cut your tongue weight capacity by 50. That is including the weight of the carrier itself. I have attached a link for information on extenders and adapters.

Order was handled great and worked with me to get delivered quickl.
Really heavy duty. The anti rattle portion fits and secures it tightly. Using it to extend a front hitch receiver on my 2013 F150 to hold my Warn multi-mount winch.

Be aware that using a hitch extender will lower the vertical load and line pull capacity by half.
Pros:
Works great for side-to-side stabilization. If you want more security the hole in the bolt is large enough to put a small lock thru.
For up/down stabilization I added the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch and now all directions are very stable.
Cons:
Corner fillets in the receiver section are larger than other extenders or receivers so it may be a tighter fit than you are expecting.
Perfect for us to extend from a very far back hitch on our LTV. This was very sturdy and allowed us to use our Swagman bike rack. The customer service was awesome. We didn’t know we were going to need before a very big trip and etrailer rushed it to us. Can’t say enough about their staff. Very pleased.
The hitch does exactly what I need. The only knock on it I have is that the threads on the anti rattle bolt are rough where the hole was made for the pin to go through. The bolt is harder than the shaft of the hitch and partially stripped the threads in the hitch.
The extender seems well built and should not have any problems pulling my trailer. I had two hitches to put in it. One did not fit because of the way it was designed. It had a slanted end that cause it to be a half inch to long to let the holes line up. The second one worked just perfectly.
The hitch extender works perfectly. I use it on a Jeep Wrangler to extend a vertical kayak carrier past the spare tire on the back of the Jeep. The extender’s bolt tightens securely so there is no swaying or rattling. Excellent product.
We recently purchased a Road Master Spare Tire Carrier for our motorhome and found that it was just a couple inches too close to the rear hatch to allow us to open it to check fluids. Fount this item online and searched for a good deal with speedy delivery. eTrailer came through for us. Installation was very easy just as long as you have the right size tools. The item itself is very well made and matches the rest of the Road Master products. If you are looking to extend a hitch, you need to make sure your extension is as strong as the main hitch, you do not want to reduce your load capacity by using an under-sized extension. I can recommend both eTrailer and Road Master for this product without reservations.
Very good quality and finish to product except for the install. Retainer bolt threaded into extension fine and pulls it towards the left side of the coach receiver, but there was a slight mismatch in the holes on the right side causing the threads on the bolt to round over.
I'm not going to remove the extension and it is torqued in fine, but if I ever had to it would ruin the threads inside the extension.
etrailer had just what I needed. I recently purchased a bike rack for our new electric bikes, but discovered that the handlebar on the "inner" bike hits the back side of our motorhome. I was looking for a non rattle hitch extension, and found it at etrailer.
This is one serious piece of steel!
This is not my first order with you. I am always pleased by your service. My Hitch Extension was here in 3 days. My RV weighs 6000 lbs. I was concerned that it would be flimsy and crack under towing conditions. This extension is solid steel. when I felt the weight, it was very heavy., I checked to see if it was hollow, it was not. I feel confident that it can handle my RV and even more. the quality is excellent. Extremely Heavy Duty. Thank you and I am very happy with my order.
Works well on my side by side to get the ball to a usable reach. The threaded pin makes it difficult to take on and off (can't use a non threaded in). I have to lay on the ground to do this. It does not rattle that is for sure so in an application where that is important, and where you have normal access I am sure it is fine. I simply needed this specific length.
Works great for my Thule bike rack. Provides a solid and stable extension that allows me to open the back hatch with two bikes on the rack. Exceptionally fast service, great company to work with.
Excellent so far. The product arrived on time and well packaged. The extender will be used with a hitch carrier (purchased from etrailer) that was modified to carry a large lifetime patio box on the rear of a camper van. The extender will allow the rear doors to open for outside access. Thanks etrailer for the excellent service as always.
