Got a 2-1/2" hitch but need to run 2" accessories? This magnetic reducer sleeve bridges the gap. Slide it into place and feel the magnets grab. Add a ball mount or carrier, slide in your hitch pin, and go.


Highlights

  • Fixes Hitch Mismatch: Converts your 2-1/2" receiver to fit 2" hitch accessories.
  • Won't Slip Out During Setup: Magnets keep the reducer in place while you line up your hitch pin.
  • Fast Install: Works with your existing pin and clip.
  • Maintains Full Towing Capacity: Reduces your receiver size without cutting down what you can tow.
  • Rust Protection: Black powder coat with e-coat layer helps fight corrosion.

Features to know about

Magnets Make Setup Simple

Magnetic reducer sleeve shown inside hitch receiver

Reducers without magnets can slide around or fall out while you're trying to line up the pin, and that gets frustrating fast. This one's different. Magnets hold the sleeve in your 2-1/2" receiver so you're not wrestling with it, and the slot on the side gives you wiggle room so you don't have to line it up perfectly. Once your accessory is in place, slide the pin through to secure it. The magnets make setup easier, but the pin is what keeps the reducer from falling out when the receiver is empty.

No Loss in Capacity

Some adapters cut down your towing rating. This one doesn't. You keep the full capacity of your 2-1/2" receiver while running 2" accessories.

Specs

Application and Compatibility:

  • Reduces 2-1/2" receiver to fit 2" hitch accessories

Construction:

  • Material: Solid steel with built-in neodymium magnets
  • Finish: Black powder coat with e-coat layer

I gave away my adapter that had worked perfect for my truck. Later I found that everywhere I went I could not find another sleeve that lined up correctly. This is the lifesaver I was looking for. Works great. Exactly as described and so easy to use. I love the magnets because it stays in place when putting the hitch and ball in. Yes, I highly recommend this hitch receiver reducer sleeve.

The slotted hitch pin hole is the key to my rating. There is no industry standard for the location of the hitch pin hole in the receiver.
by:
Have had the opportunity to use the reducer sleeve once at this point, but when I did I found it did not stay put. When I arrived at my destination with my travel trailer, the sleeve had slipped out from the receiver about an inch. I expected the magnets to hold the sleeve in place better than it did. I will try it again as I need the reducer to use my hitch, but if it slips again I will need to find another solution.
by:
This product was exactly what I was looking for! Awesome quality, fitment was perfect and features were gladly welcomed. The oval shaped horizontal pin receiving hole allows for a less exact alignment of the male receiver shaft. The magnetic properties of this sleeve was such a great idea! Really pleased with the outcome!!

After a year being in daily use out in the field this product has performed exactly as it shouldve and has held up nicely. The oval cut out still makes it nice when trying to install the pin after using different hitches or hitch carriers. The magnetic part really keeps the sleeve in place while switching hitches as well. Still thoroughly impressed with this product. Would recommend! ??

by:
It makes alignment with my 2" bike rack a breeze.
by:
The hitch and locking pin was everything I expected! Fast delivery and quality materials. Thanks again, Etrailer!
by:
This insert fits perfectly and the magnets that hold it are super strong. If i were to leave it in the receiver with out a ball hitch or receiver pin, it is going to stay there.
by:
Fits perfect. What really sets this adapter apart from the others is the slotted hitch pin hole. Previous adapters with the flange I have purchased had hitch pin holes that did not line up in my hitch receiver.
by:
Much better than other adapters out there. No fighting to line up the hole for the hitch pin.
by:
This adapter takes all the worry and guess work out of the equation reducing to a 2 inch hitch attachment.

@ClaireH How would I know? Anyway - sold rv non issue now But it was sloppy Glange interfered with bumper
by:
The adapter does not fit flush against the hitch because the chrome bumper is about 1/8” over the top of the hitch opening. The adapter still wants to slide a little when I try to put the hitch in, but aligning the locking pin through the hitch and adapter was much easier with the slot in the adapter. Better than the regular square adapter with another hole to match up with the hitch and receiver that slides back snd forth when setting up.
by:
The magnets are super helpful and keep it from making noise while we tow our travel trailer.
by:
This adapter is perfect! I bought an adapter from another online store, but when it arrived I was forced to cut a section out due to the length. I then found this adapter and with the slotted area for the hitch pin, there was no issue using as designed. Wish I had gone to etrailer to begin with.

@GaryE Glad to hear it was the perfect fit for you Gary! Sorry you had to get through the wrong one to find the right one =)
by:
This receiver adapter was essential, since our Ram 3500 has a factory 2.5” hitch size. The magnets seem to hold it steady. Everything we own currently takes a 2” receiver. It’s nice that etrailer makes a good product that makes switching hitch size so easy. We haven’t towed with it yet, but looking forward to using it soon.
by:
This adapter is easier to use because the hold it in place when sliding the hitch in. good product.

The reducer fit my 2026 F250 perfectly and felt very secure. Heavy duty and great quality. Thank you.
by:
Fits perfect with a strong magnetic hold but easily disassembled as well.
by:
This magnetic hitch receiver reducer sounded like a great idea. I used it with a 6000lb trailer with an F-350 and Equalizer weight distribution hitch. The light loading on the WDH allowed the adapter to slide to the end of the slot, and then with the reduced length for weight distribution totally destroyed one of the magnets. Maybe this wasn't intended for weight distribution or my particular set up. It was a good idea that didn't work for me.

While the oblong hole makes for multi vehicle in my case it migrates all the way out and my my trailer feel sloppy while towing.

This thing is one of the better ideas I've seen out there! Imagine spending $20 on an adapter, only to lose it on the road cause you forgot to remove it after towing. Well, it's not going to happen with this guy! It stays on their nice and strong. The manufacturer will tell you that you shouldn't do that, but if you happen to forget, at least you have a nice backup plan, which are the magnets. It's a great value and the customer service was awesome!
by:
It paid for its4ld the first time Inusrd it!
by:
Works as described. Stays in place and much easier to align the pin when installing the hitch since the hole is oblong. The magnets hold in place. I forgot to reinstall the pin and drove around for over a week; the insert never moved. Worth the money.

  • Anti-Rattle Device that Could be Used with Hitch Reducer Sleeve
    Hey Shawn, for an anti-rattle device you could use with the part # SHP2040-XL with the anti-rattle device part # e28JR that you referenced. This fits down into the hollow shank of a ball mount and would hold it all tight.

    Hey JC, thanks for reaching out! The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20066BMP is definitely compatible with the MultiPro tailgate on your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500, but the only one available to fit exactly with a 2-1/2" hitch receiver is the one I mentioned above which has a 7" rise/drop. Since you need less than this it will work out just fine for your towing application. Then for an anti-rattle pin I recommend the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL because it gets...

    Hi Spike; great question! Unfortunately, the face of the # e28JR is too wide for the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV to fit. What kind of accessory are you trying to use?

  • Can I Use a Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve With a Weigh Safe Ball Mount
    Hello there, Stanley! Why yes! You can use the Weigh Safe Ball Mount part # WS56KR with a hitch sleeve. If you need a sleeve as well I recommend the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve part # e28JR. It may seem like a selfish plug since its our own brand but I really do like that it has the magnetic feature. It helps keep everything together when taking the ball mount in and out and helps reduce rattling. What kind of trailer are you hauling with your Ram?

  • Can Curt Weight Distribution be Used Behind a Class C RV?
    Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out! As long as the hitch on your Class C RV is rated for weight distribution, you can use the Curt Round Bar Weight Distribution System # C17063 with no issues. When it comes to using it with the 2-1/2" receiver on your truck, you can technically use a reducer like the etrailer # e28JR, but best practice is to use a shank like the Curt # C17131 that's designed for a 2-1/2" hitch receiver, so I recommend going that route instead.

  • Recommendation for 12" Hitch Extension for a 2 1/2" Trailer Hitch
    Hi Jeff, For trailer hitch extensions, the longer the extension is away from the hitch the lower the tongue weight capacity gets. Since 2 1/2" hitches are rated for more heavy-duty towing, the extensions are shorter to prevent sway and stress on the truck's frame. If you're wanting to use a 12" extension like the Buyer's Products Hitch Extender w/Step part # 3371804015, you'll need to use a 2 1/2" to 2" hitch adapter. I recommend using the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve...

    Hello Lewis, Thanks for writing in! I'm glad you found us, and thanks for getting back to me with the trailer weight. Since your trailer is around 15,000 lbs, the 10K option I originally recommended is not going to work for your setup. I was able to get confirmation that the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 16" Long - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # FA78FR can be used for towing without the weight distribution head. You can pair it with the Replacement 2-Ball Platform for BulletProof...

  • Can etrailer Magnetic Hitch Reducer be Used when Towing Travel Trailer
    Hey Bert, yes the etrailer hitch sleeve reducer part # e28JR will work great for you when towing a 7,500 lb travel trailer. Your WD system will put so much torque into the hitch tube that it will not slide around at all and it will be pinned in place basically.

  • Will the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Reducer e28JR Slide In and Out?
    No, the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Reducer item # e28JR won't slide around. That slot is put in for convenience to make it easier to insert a pin. The two magnets mounted to the bottom are what keeps it from sliding around. The purpose of the magnets is to eliminate any unnecessary movement when installing and removing the adapter. It also helps to keep the adapter in place when you are installing your hitch accessories, as opposed to the adapter sliding freely in the hitch. I have linked...

  • Is Blue Ox Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter with a Reducer Good for Flat Towing with a Motorhome
    Hi Steve! The easiest thing to do would be to use the Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # BLU48CR and the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e28JR so I recommend going that route. The only advantage you'll see from installing a 2" receiver is if you plan on using your motorhome for towing multiple different things and it makes more sense having the more common 2" receiver.

    Hey Tony, thanks for reaching out! There aren't any 1-7/8" hitch balls that will fit the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17131 you're already using, but I do have a way you can tow your pig cooker by using the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45055 along with the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # e28JR. I know it's not exactly what you were hoping for, but the only alternative would be to purchase one of the adjustable tri-ball mounts that are a bit more costly than this setup.

    We do have our Trailer Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves # e33YR which includes a 3" to 2-1/2" reducer and 2-1/2" to 2" reducer. These can be used individually or together if you need to go from a 3" to 2" receiver. We do not have any that are both magnetic like our 2-1/2" to 2" Reducer # e28JR you found.

    That's a good question, and there's an interesting reason why there are the long holes on the side of the etrailer Magnetic Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" Hitch # e28JR. Using a regular reducer sleeve requires you to line up your hitch pin with two holes - the standard hitch pin hole and the reducer sleeve hole.

  • Will Using a 2-1/2" to 2" Reducer Reduce The Towing Capacity For a 2022 GMC Sierra 3500?
    Using a Reducer Sleeve # e28JR is not going to reduce your trucks towing capacity unless you are using a lower capacity hitch. As you are most likely using a weight distribution hitch you should not have any issue with towing your 10,000LB travel trailer behind your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500.
