• Why is There Only a Class I Trailer Hitch for my 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback?
  Hello Eric. Congrats on the new 2025 Corolla Hatchback! Yes, the only hitch that I see for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 which is a Class I with a 1 1/4" receiver. I checked the previous years and it looks like they only had a Class I as well. When a vehicle only has a class I available, it's because that vehicle is not supposed to be hauling anything heavier. I would check your owners manual to see what Toyota says the vehicle can handle....

• Can The e43YR Hitch Adapter Be Used With A Weight Distribution Hitch?
  Hello Sherman, thanks for reaching out. To answer your question, no, the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR cannot be used with a weight distribution (WD) hitch. WD hitches can only be used with 2" hitch receivers that are rated for use with a WD hitch. Your 1-1/4" hitch is not rated for this kind of use. Also, using this kind of adapter effectively decreased your hitches carrying capacity by 50%. Meaning with the adapter in the mix, your hitch would only be able to carry like 100...

• Recommendation For Carrying a Aventon Level 2 E-Bike Behind a 2013 Scion xB
  I do see your Aventon Level 2 bike has a weight of 54lbs. Since you are using the Curt Receiver # C12490 on your 2013 Scion xB and being a 1-1/4" receiver I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y28DJ as it can support bikes up to 66lbs each and has a ramp for ease loading. Using an Adapter # e43YR with the Rack # HLY66ZR not only moves it further back causing more of a lever effect on the weight but do remember the extra length is also going to have an effect on the departure angle which means...

• Can I Use Your etrailer Spare Tire Carrier with an Adapter to Take My 1 1/4" Hitch Receiver to a 2"?
  Hello Doug, Congrats on the new Honda CR-V!! What is your new favorite feature? Yes, you can use an adapter like our Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # e43YR with our etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Hitch - 2" Hitch # e98ZR. With any adapter that goes from a 1 1/4" to 2" it will cut your tongue weight in half. You will need to look at the sticker on your hitch to see what the hitch is rated for, then divide that in half. The # e98ZR is around 20.5 pounds, so you will need to...

• What is the Shank Part on a Hitch Receiver Cover
  The shank would be the piece that you insert into the hitch receiver. So for a hitch cover like the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover # PC002282R01, there are 2 different shank options you can place the Darth Vader cover piece on so it will fit whether your vehicle has a 1-1/4" or a 2" square receiver. It looks like you were looking for a light up hitch cover so I recommend checking out the Pilot # CR-007 which is a simple square design that fits a 2" receiver and plugs into a...

• Which 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter is Strongest for Use with E-Bike Rack
  Hey Pam, so the highest rated 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapters we offer have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like with the part # e43YR for a straight adapter or the part # e93YR for one with a rise built into the shank. You have to keep in mind that when you use an adapter like this you cut the weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent and since most 1-1/4 inch hitches have a 200 lb (sometimes 350 lb) capacity you would be looking at having around a 100 lb capacity for a rack...

• Do They Make a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Venue
  The only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Hyundai Venue are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C57CR which is what I recommend. That said, you can convert this to a 2" hitch using an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, using said adapter will reduce the hitch capacity by 50%. Unfortunately, the Hyundai Venue is a subcompact so they don't make the larger hitch size for this as the vehicle can't benefit from...

• Availability of 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter With Anti-Rattle for Bike Rack
  Hey Robert! An anti-rattle hitch pin won't work since none of the adapters will be threaded and, as you already found out, they don't have a hollow shank. What you can use instead is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 along with a locking hitch pin # TS57VR. This combination will allow you to secure it with a lock and cut out the extra play from the adapter and a bike rack. For an adapter you can use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch...

• Availability Of Adapter To Go From 1-1/4" Hitch To A 2" Hitch
  We do have an adapter that will allow you to attach a 2" cargo carrier to the 1-1/4" hitch on your 2016 Nissan Altima. I recommend the adapter # e43YR. This is 6-1/2" long and will go in to your 1-1/4" hitch and give you a 2" receiver on the other end. It is important to note that when using an adapter, you will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. So if your trailer hitch is rated for 200 lbs tongue weight, you will only be able to carry 100 lbs. This will include the weight...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With 2" Receiver Behind a 2016 Mazda 6
  If you are wanting to use your 2" bike rack you will want to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7301 on your 2016 Mazda 6. Both the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR which will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11356 and Hitch Adapter # HTAD reduce the capacity of the receiver by 50%. This will reduce the tongue weight from 200lbs to 100lbs by using the adapter and will likely push your bike rack with any bikes over the 100lb limit. By using the EcoHitch...

• Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
  I do have an option for you but there are not any class III, 2" trailer hitches for a 2016 Honda Civic. There are only class 1, 1-1/4" options like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # e43YR or part # e93YR but just keep in mind, they reduce capacity so you're now limited to 100 lbs for the bikes and rack.

• Is There a Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 1995 Buick Roadmaster?
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 class II receiver is our only custom fit receiver for your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. There are a couple ways you can get to a 2" opening receiver. First would be to use an Adapter # e43YR but this will lower your towing capacity and tongue weight by 50%. Second would be to use a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This may require some customizing on your Buick as it is a universal style receiver. Finally you can take the Receiver #...

• Compatibility Of 1-1/4 to 2 Hitch Adapter On a 2021 Volvo XC60 With Class I Receiver
  I do have a recommendation for you as it sounds like you have a class I receiver with a stop on your 2021 Volvo XC60. The stop prevents class II accessories like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR from being used. It has a measurement of 2" from the receiver pin center hole to the end of the receiver tube. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is 1/2" shorter from the receiver pin hole to the end of the shank at 1-1/2". You could also consider installing a Curt Trailer Hitch...

• Is There a 2 Trailer Hitch for a 2019 VW Jetta
  I do have an option for you but there are unfortunately only class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options for a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta which is the case for a lot of these smaller sedans since they are not designed for heavy duty pulling or hauling. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 as it sits under the bumper for an easy install. If you must have a 2" trailer hitch then you can use an expander with the above like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but keep...

  I do have an option for you but there are only class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options for a 2020 Toyota Corolla such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C34UR which is what I recommend. This trailer hitch features a bolt-on install without any drilling required. It can be expanded to a 2" using an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. That said, using said adapter will reduce your weight capacity by 50%. This would only be an issue for e-bikes...

It's worth mentioning that using an adapter like this cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. If you don't have a hitch already the Draw Tite part # 36652 would be a great option that is mostly hidden once installed.

• Using a 2" Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack With a 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
  I do have a recommendation for you as Thule only offers the Replacement 1-1/4" Hitch and Backbone Assembly # 753370902 for changing your Thule T2 Classic 2" to a 1-1/4". You can use either a Straight Adapter # e43YR or Rise Adapter # HT5R to adapt your 1-1/4" hitch to carry the 2" bike rack. Do note that the adapter will reduce the tongue weight rating on your receiver by 50%. So if you have a tongue weight rating of 350lbs you will have to stay 175lbs or below for the adapter.

Please be advised that using any adapter will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. You will also want to verify with Thule that your bike rack is approved to be used with an adapter like this.

It has a 1-1/4" opening which will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

• Is it Safe to Use Hitch Adapter on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Class I Hitch to Transport an E-Bike
  Price does play a pretty important role when choosing a trailer hitch, but for your application you really need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for transporting your e-bike with your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. When you use an adapter, like the 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter # e43YR, you'll be reducing the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is due to the extension causing more exaggerated movement since it sits further out. So not only will the weight rating of the hitch...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2011 Chevy HHR For Use With 2 Inch Bike Rack
  The only trailer hitch receiver for your 2011 Chevy HHR is indeed a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch, but what you may be able to do is use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter. I say "may" because the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent; that means the most your bike rack and bikes can weigh is 100 lbs. If that's okay, what you will need is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11447 - Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch # e43YR -...

• Adapter Required To Carry a Kuat Bike Rack with 2 Hitch On a 2023 Mazda CX-30 With 1-1/4 Receiver
  You may not be able to use an Adapter # e43YR with your Kuat bike rack and the Curt trailer Hitch Receiver # C49CR on your 2023 Mazda CX-30. Since the receiver is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and the use of an adapter lowers the receiver capacity by 50%. So with the receiver only being able to then support 100lbs, the Adapter # e43YR weighing 6lbs and the Kuat Bike Rack # BA22B weighing 52lbs it leaves you with only 42lbs for your bikes. You may need to switch to their Transfer Bike...

That said, as you mentioned you can use a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but this not only reduces capacity but it also increase play/rattle. Therefore, I know this is not what you want to hear but your best option is a new rack like the Saris Freedom Bike...
