About Trailer Hitch Adapter

A trailer hitch adapter enables a 2" hitch accessory to be used with a 1 14" receiver. Experts recommend using a cargo support strap to prevent movement of the accessory and reduce strain on the trailer hitch when using bike racks or cargo carriers designed for 2" receiver hitches.

Tires can be removed with a Hitch Extender or another option without compromising vehicle liberty. As long as you don't exceed the maximum trailer hitch capacity and the vehicle's towing capacity, and don't exceed 350 pounds for tongue weight, using a hitch extender is perfectly safe.

Hitch Reducers Online

When it comes to hitches or towing, hitch reducers are perfectly safe. Using a reducer will not lower the amount of weight the vehicle can tow, but a ball mount for a 2x2 receiver will have a lower towing and tongue weight capacity than a ball mount for a 2-1/2x2-1/2 receiver.

An adapter slides directly into your hitch or onto the shank of your accessory and reduces a 2.5" x 2.5" receiver opening to 2" x 2" or a 3" x 3" receiver opening to 2.5" x 2.5".

What Is A Hitch Extender?

Hitch extensions are similar to receiver tubes that fit into your trailer hitch to add a certain amount of clearance for your vehicle's bumper or spare tire. By extending the receiver by 8", it offers a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds.

Hitch extenders reduce the tongue weight capacity of a trailer hitch by 50 percent. In other words, if the trailer hitch was rated for 1,000 pounds tongue weight, it would be reduced to just 500 pounds when using an extension.

Trailer Hitch Extensions: How Safe Are They?

Using a hitch extender is safe as long as you stay within the limits specified of the hitch and vehicle load capacity.

The other option to provide additional clearance from your spare tire would be to use a longer ball mount. Hidden Hitch Ball Mount places the center of the hitch ball 16 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole. If your ball mount requires a larger rise or drop, you could go with Ball Mount. To mount an extender, you will need an extra Pin and Clip, if you do not already have one. For added security, we have a Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part.
