1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter to Use with 2025 Toyota RAV4 for Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I just bought a 2025 rav4 that came with an 1.25 factory hitch. Can I use a 1.25 to 2 inch adaptor to use my bike rack for my two bikes that weight about 55 lbs each. will the tongue weight be sufficient with the weight of bikes and bike rack combined

Hey Bob, the etrailer 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter part # e93YR that you referenced would work for you. This does cut the capacity of the hitch it is used with by 50 percent so you'd need to make sure that the OEM hitch of your RAV4 has twice the capacity of weight of your bikes plus your bike rack.

If you are wanting to use your 2" bike rack you will want to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver #306-X7301 on your 2016 Mazda 6. Both the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter #e43YR which will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver…

Hey Pam, so the highest rated 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapters we offer have a 350 lb tongue weight capacity like with the part #e43YR for a straight adapter or the part #e93YR for one with a rise built into the shank. You have to keep in mind…

I do see your Aventon Level 2 bike has a weight of 54lbs. Since you are using the Curt Receiver #C12490 on your 2013 Scion xB and being a 1-1/4" receiver I recommend the Yakima OnRamp #Y28DJ as it can support bikes up to 66lbs each and has a…

Hi Richard, Using a hitch adapter will reduce your trailer hitch's capacity by 50% and the use of an adapter isn't always allowed depending on the bike rack. You'll want to first check with the bike rack manufacturer if they allow for an…

Hey Walt. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item #306-X7359 is preferred because it has a 2" receiver over the Draw-Tite item #24956 1-1/4" receiver. There's way more bike racks and cargo carriers that fit 2" hitches than there are…

Answer 10

I would discourage the use of an adapter for use of 2 inch accessories in 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. The reason is that the adapter places the carrier farther away from the rear of the vehicle and hitch, creating additional torque that 1-1/4…

Answer 11

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4" (Class II) to 2" #C45785 does not come with a hitch pin. If you are in need of a hitch pin for the 1-1/4" end of the receiver, that is the #5200. For the 2" receiver end, that is…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
