Transform your 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver (Class II only) into a 2" one with this adapter from Curt. It slides into your existing hitch receiver so you can easily carry a 2" bike rack or other hitch-mounted accessory.The Curt C45785 1.25 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter seems well-constructed, but does NOT fit the current SPA Volvo OEM 1.25 inch automatic retractable hitch receptacle (mine is on a 2020 V60 Cross country). The lock pin hole doesn't go back far enough to accommodate the pin -- see photo.
Great product from an even greater company. ETRAILER has the knowledge and products to solve most any trailering problem.
First time ever to buy this set up. The very first time in my life and wrong hitch receiver.

Oh no! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
Solid heavy duty steel. Fits snugly into hitch.

Working fine
Needed the adaptor for a bike rack and works great but with a few issues. It is does add several inches so need to be careful backing up, in parking spaces, and can bottom out (our driveway has a dip). Same bike rack on newer car did not need an adaptor and avoids these issues.
Excellent!
This works great with my hitch to extend out behind my car and also expand to the 2” size for by bike rack. The fit was just slightly loose so I put a couple of strips of duct tape on 2 sides to eliminate the “play” inside the hitch. Works perfectly.

Please be aware that using the adapter/extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half.
Wish I had known that it didn't come with a pin to lock it in place, but I had one from another bike rack. Only other issue is the excessively tight fit in the receiver, but prefer that over too loose. Is a solid piece of metal and looks like it will hold up well.
No complaints. I've only used it a couple of times as we have changed our bike rack to work with the smaller hitch, but when we do need to carry more bikes on the larger rack this adapter does the trick.
It has worked as expected for a year. I attach a bike tray rack that weights about 40 pounds and two bikes which weigh about 30 pounds each and use this on several multi-week mountain bike road trips in the southwestern U.S. I go on some rather rough roads.
The hitch adapter and 90 degree mount solved my desire to mount my electric wench on my auto trailer replacing the manual wench. See photo.
The 2" sleeve would not come out of the existing 2" receiver so I used the hitch adapter to make the transition. The etrailer experts correctly told me there would be some play in this joint. However, it works here (as this is not for towing).
I also used the 90 degree mount upside down (also not an approved application). But again no towing is involved. I did need to drill a new hole in the receiver.
While this seems to be a sturdy, well-made product, it is not the optimum set-up for a Subaru Outback equipped with a factory-installed 1.25" hitch.
Quite simply, the pin hole drilled in the 1.25" section is not where it should be. In order for it to line up with the hole in the Subaru hitch, the hole would need to be another 1.5" or so closer to the "rear". Not that this doesn't work, for it does--- but with the unit sticking out yet another 1.5" or so from the hitch. To remedy this, I drilled another half inch hole into the unit where it should be located. Now it works great, but it took considerable effort (and a $20 titanium drill bit) to get it right.
Again, this unit will work in a Subaru Outback without drilling another hole in it; it's just not optimal.
I purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter (C45785), the Hitch Pin 1/2" x 3 1/2 (12H), and the MaxxTow Hitch Pin and Clip with Oversize Grip - 2" Hitches - 5/8" Diameter - 3-5/8" Long (MT70053).
They arrived earlier then expected and work perfectly! The quality is better then I expected. Thank You!!!
Does not fit the 1 1/4 receiver on our standard, factory-installed hitch on 2010 Ford Escape. Width of the 11/4” bar seems OK. Height is oversize and on one side is about 1/32 over size. From an end view the bar even looks slightly out of square.
Bought a 1 1/4” Curt Ball mount from eTrailer recently for the same vehicle that fits perfectly. But will have to return this adaptor.
Great service and speedy delivery. Have not had to use it yet because of other issues associated with new bike rack but I really appreciate the extremely comprehensive selection of hitch related items.
I have a car with 2" hitch and one with 1.25" hitch. This is a great adapter and less expensive than buying two bicycle racks to fit 2" and 1.25" hitches. Adapter is short enough and fit is good enough that it doesn't wobble too much.
This wasn't deep enough to fit my bike rack, but a few minutes later with the saw I was in business. Would likely be perfect for m9st applications.
We wanted the latest part to adapt our new hitch to be able to accept a Thule bike rack. The new part is perfect.
Heavy steel and as pictured. The two inch interfaces very loosely compared to my other hitch with same bike rack. Rattling down the road I'll go! Also, in case you are interested the adapter DOES NOT come with a pin (That's a separate purchase and a bit of a surprise). I'm weighing the purchase of a 1 1/4" rack to snug things up as I ride daily. If so check my recycling bin for this gem.
Great product. Perfect for my 2014 Mini Countryman S with 1-1/4" receiver paired with my Allen bike rack (2" opening). Thank you etrailer.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like you need one a tad bit bigger like item # HTAD.
