Can Two Trailer Hitch Extensions Be Used When Flat-Towing
Updated 05/25/2017 | Published 05/23/2017
Question:
Can I use both a 12 inch and a 6-7 inch Blue Ox extension on my Motor Coach before attaching the tow bars for my GMC pickup? I need the additional length for a bike rack.

The Blue Ox Hitch Extender # BX88264 is the 12-inch extension we offer and can be used for flat-towing as you want. Please note that using an extension will reduce the trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50-percent.
You cannot use a second extension because it would further reduce the hitch tongue weight capacity, which would create an unsafe condition. .
