I went to our warehouse and took some measurements of the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars, part # BX88265 for you.

The hollow portion of the adapter is 6-1.4 inches. The solid part of the adapter that installs in the hitch receiver is 6-1/4 inches long. I have attached a photo of the adapter with the dimensions noted you can check out.

This adapter has a maximum towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 10,000 lbs.

Jeffrey, I have an NSA flat towbar with surge brakes. I need to know the dimension from the collar opening to the inner solid tube tube. I bought a roadmaster extension and my tow bar would not go in far enough to allow the pin to slign as it hit the inner tube. It is 31/2 imches from the centerline of the pin opening to the end if the towbar.

@Richard Hey Jeff! The dimension you asked for is 6-1/4" from the end of the receiver to the solid tube. Additionally, behind the hitch pin hole is 3-3/4" so you'll be good to go.
