Video Transcript for Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve: The Breakdown

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt three inch to two and a half inch hitch receiver reducer sleeve. Now this reducer sleeve will let you use a two and a half inch towing and hitch mounted accessory with your three inch hitch receiver. It's very easy to use. You just slide it directly into your three inch hitch and onto the shank of your accessory.

The adapter allows you to reduce a three inch by three inch hitch receiver opening to the two and a half inch by two and a half inch size. This is a high strength steel carbon steel construction. Has a nice durable carbide black powder coat finish on it. To prevent rust and corrosion. Now pin hole diameter right here on the side is gonna be a three quarter inch diameter hole.

Now, one note I do wanna mention is the weight capacity is limited to the rated capacity of your hitch receiver. A few measurements on this. We'll start with the overall length. So if we go from one end to the other is a six and a quarter inches. And then if we do the end you can see it's gonna be outside.

Outside is three inches by three inches. Inside two and a half inches by two and a half inches. Last measurement I wanna give you is the measurement of the hitch pin hole. So we're gonna measure it from this end and then up to that end. So if we go from this end to the center.

Let's turn it this way. And we'll go from the end to the center. Is three and three quarter inches. And then from the center of the hitch pin hole to the other end that's gonna be right at two and a half inches. But that should do it for the review on this Curt three inch to two and a half inch hitch receiver reducer sleeve..

Good price, easy website to use, product came timely & boxed well. Quality of reducer is very good. Only thing that could have made it better is if they would paid me to take it off their hands.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Ford F-350 Behind a 2023 Renegade Verona Super C
    The Blue Ox Apollo Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7470 is going to be the largest size we have to fit a 2-1/2" receiver. So you will at least need a 3" to 2-1/2" Adapter # C85JR. This will connect to the Base Plate # C56JR on your 2020 Ford F-350. You will likely need a Adjustable Receiver # BLU48CR as well to keep the tow bars within 3" of level. The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will allow you to tie into your factory tail lights so they operate off of...

  • Recommended 24 Inch Hitch Extender for a 3 Inch Receiver
    I have a hitch extension that will work with a weight distribution system but it is 24" long and there aren't any shorter ones. First you are going to have to use the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # C85JR to get your 3" receiver down to a 2-1/2"one. Then you will want the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer item # C45048. It comes in a 34" extension but you can trim it down to 24". This combination will give you a 8,000 lbs towing capacity when used with a weight distribution system....

  • Why Does B and W Tow n Stow Have Higher Capacity When Used as Pintle
    This is a good question, but the reason the B and W Tow And Stow part # BWTS20056 has a higher weight capacity when used with the pintle setup is because the arm that comes down and rests on the top of the ball when used as a pintle adds additional support to the ball which gives it additional capacity. It also can be used with a 3 inch hitch adapter like the part # C85JR as well.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 11,000 lbs Travel Trailer
    It looks like your 2022 Forest River Rockwood 8337RL tops out at 11,00 lbs. Weight distribution systems are based off of a trailer's tongue weight. The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's total weight. This means your Forest River would have a tongue weight somewhere between 1,100 lbs and 1,650 lbs. With this in mind, the best system is going to be the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ64FR. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution...
