Question:

Will this fit on a 2013 Honda Rancher factory hitch? Im mostly looking for something to extend the factory hitch to keep what ever Im towing from rubbing on the rear tires during turns. Also what prevents this hitch from pivoting at the bolt where is is attached to the factory hitch. Seems like there should be a shoulder or something to keep it from pivoting. Am I missing something? Perhaps there is a hitch extender that would be better suited to my application. Thanks.

The Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch w/ Ball Mount Adapter part # RP7065100 should fit a 2013 Honda Rancher TRX so long as it has a 5/8" diameter hitch ball hole. The Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch will work to extend the connection point for towing so you don't hit your tires. The hitch mount adapter comes with a serrated washer and lock nut to hold it in place and stop it from pivoting with the trailer but there won't be much side to side force on the adapter to cause this anyhow.

I am not aware of any other type of hitch extender that would work for you so the above is your best option. If you don't already have a hitch ball with correct size shank you can use part # 19256 for 1-7/8" or part # 19258 for 2".
