Question:

Do you have a hitch extension or other product that is rated for 10,000 lb trailer towing at a 21-24inch extension length? I have a boat approaching 10k that I would like to tow with my 2005 F350 with a 10foot Cabover camper. Currently have a 2inch receiver on the truck. Thanks.

Expert Reply:

We do have hitch extenders for 2-inch hitches that can help with clearance needed when the truck has a slide-in camper in the bed and is towing a trailer. These are shown on the linked page and they come in various lengths and weight ratings.

The longest extension that carries a 10K rating is the 12-inch Blue Ox # BX88264. The Curt extension # C45796 that you referenced is rated for only 3500-lbs.

If your truck were equipped with a TorkLift SuperHitch you could use their 24-inch extension
# TLE1524 but this is rated for 7500-lbs, not 10K.
