How to Use Thule T2 Pro XTR for 1-1/4 inch Hitch in 2 inch Hitch

Question

Question:

I own a Thule T2 Pro XTR model 9035XTR bike rack. It fits a 1.25 hitch. I need an adapter so that it will fit a 2 hitch. Do you have such a product?

You will need to use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 which will allow you to use your Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH23JV with a 1-1/4" shank in a 2" trailer hitch receiver. Since Thule does not make a replacement shank this is currently the only option, and one that Thule has mentioned is acceptable when we have reached out to them about this.

So the answer is yes, with your 2-1/2 inch receiver you will still be able to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack #TH83JV. You are correct, however, that the your standard hitch reducer sleeve isn't going to work, so what you will need instead is…

Alright, so let's start with the Dr. Tray; I checked with Yakima for you and there isn't a replacement shank/stinger for the Dr. Tray so there's no way to convert it from a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch shank. So the best option really is going to…
