I have a solution for you, however, the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension # TLE1636 that you were looking at is only for the Ford OEM 3" trailer hitch receiver and it will not fit your 2021 Ram 3500. It looks like the available receivers for your vehicle are either 2" or 2-1/2". Your receiver is likely 2-1/2" in which case you can use Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" # C45048 and if you happen to have a 2" receiver you can go with Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" # C45796 which is the longest available.

Keep in mind, these extensions will reduce your receiver's capacity by 50%.

Hey Kyle, so I checked with Torklift and we actually have the numbers wrong on the 21 inch version. The #TL46CR is actually rated for 550 lb tongue weight and 5,500 lb total trailer weight.

Answer 11

The closest thing we have to an all in one reducer and hitch extender is the #e53YR you looked at which is too short. To get an 11" extension you can use a reducer sleeve like the #e26YR and then add an extender on top of it. If this is just for…
