Question:
It seems theres only the smaller 1 1/4 inch receiver for my car 2007 SAAB 9-5 wagon. Is there such a thing as a 1 1/4 to 2inch adapter? I have a 1-up bike rack that needs 2.

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter. It is the Trailer Hitch Adapter item # e93YR. This one is made specifically for accessories like bike racks. It also raises your receiver up 5" which will help with ground clearance for your bike rack.
Please note that the use of any adapter will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11831 has a 250 lbs capacity that would be reduced down to 125 lbs. You will want to make sure your bike rack and bike/s are below this.
