Would 2 inch to 2-1/2 inch Hitch Sleeve Reducer Cut Capacity of Trailer Hitch
Published 11/28/2018
Question:
Recently stepped up to a 2500 tow vehicle with a 2.5” receiver from a 1500 with a 2” receiver. Can I use a 2” shank with the oem supplied adaptor in my 2.5” receiver without any loss of towing capacity? Or should I just get the 2.5” shank and call it a day? Our trailer loaded up is around 7000lb. Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
The sleeve adapters used adapt a 2-1/2 inch hitch to fit a 2 inch hitch accessory do not diminish the towing capacity of the hitch or the accessory installed in the hitch. We have the Curt hitch reducer part # C45405 that would work well for your situation.
