Ordered for our Kuat rear mount bike rack, as our SUV had a larger hitch receiver. Well built, clean machining and a perfect fit. Fast shipping and exactly as advertised. Great communication surrounding the order. Couldn't recommend more.



by:

The fact that it's steel is a plus, and it extends the hitch so that the bike rack that's attached now is far enough away from the hatch to not bang against it. Great product!



by:

great company! quick turnaround. when i installed a new axel on my trailer a few years back support was always there for my questions. i recommend them for anyone needing the products they supply



by:

Very good service, products as expected delivered at time



by:

Exactly what I needed. Thanks etrailer!



by:

Bike rack is 1 1/4 inch and I needed this adapter to put it into my 2" hitch receiver.
Adds a little distance to keep the bikes away from the back of my Jeep.

Great product. Does exactly what its supposed to do.



by:

It does the job, but it does have some wobble. I got this to put a bike rack on, and needed to get an anti-wobble kit to hold it in place. I suppose if you had a trailer the wobble wouldn't matter as much, but watching my bikes bounce around through the rear window was unsettling.

Once there are multiple attachment points on a hitch accessory, sometimes an anti-rattle device like Item # e99007 is needed.



by:

Hitch adapter is exactly what I ordered. However this review is not really about the adapter itself. It is about Etrailer.com's customer service. The adapter was shipped in the box along with a new hitch that I had ordered. The shipper somehow destroyed the box and only the hitch arrived. The adapter was lost. When I reported the missing adapter, Etrailer.com immediately shipped out a new adapter, which I received a couple of days later. Problems do happen, what makes the difference is how a company responds and takes care of the problem. Etrailer.com response and handling of the problem far exceeded my expectations and will be one of the reasons I will consider them first for any of my needs that they can supply. Bravo Zulu



by:

The trailer hitch and accessories we purchased through etrailer for my wife's RAV4 Hybrid were reasonably priced, excellent quality, and have proved perfect for our needs. It's the 2nd time we've purchased a similar package from you nice folks. I've learned you're exactly the place I need to go when I need a hitch or related products. Thanks from a most satisfied repeat customer.



by:

Again, a well-made product! I love buying products that are made right here.



by:

Recently I purchased a stealth hitch for my 2022 BMW X5, (model SH25VR), and had the techs from etrailer install it. I could not be more pleased with the quality and service that I received. Since this is my wife's car, I knew she would be very conscious of the appearance and this style of hitch gives the best of both worlds, completely hidden, (when the receiver is not engaged), and easy to install when needed. I've always been taught that you pay for quality once, and with this product and installation, that is truly the case.

by:

The 4" adapter is about right for length.......not too short and not too long.
Heavy duty construction should bring longevity of use. I don't like the "slop"
fit ......but imagine it has to be that way. Ordered bracket to tighten this up to
stop movement of the bike rack and for other uses. Would suggest the sales
force mention these brackets to make it one purchase, instead of two, if people
want to tighten up the fit. The adaption from 2" to 1 1/4" for bike rack is perfect.
Company sells several options for stopping the rattles and sway.



by:

Excellent Adapter for extending and attaching a Thule bike rack to a 2" receiver. More solid than a Thule sleeve, and the extensions provide ample clearance to open the SUV Rear Door.



by:

The adapter is pretty straight forward. I am writing this review because I wish I had called and spoken to someone when I first bought the hitch. I bought the hitch (no shipping charges), then realized I need an adapter. I paid shipping charges for the adapter and then realized I really wanted anti-vibration, locking pins (more shipping charges). This is no reflection on etrailer, they're great. But there is a lesson to be learned from my lack of forethought.



by:

This is a simple product that allows you to use 1 1/4 inch receiver mount in a 2 inch receiver. I'm using it for mounting a ATV winch receiver mount in the front receiver on my pickup truck. As with all steel Curt products it is very well made and seem to have powered coating to make it last a long time; time will tell.



by:

About what you would expect. A little more play than I was hoping for. Bike rack was a little wobbly but some tie-downs shored things up. Well made product.



by:

Product performed very well. Price was very reasonable, customer service was excellent and it was shipped and received in about 48 hours. Would highly recommend etrailer.com

no issues at all. Met expectations



by:

Bought this to put into Curt hitch receiver in order to fit my bike rack. No issues and looks great. Highly recommend.



by:

The hitch pin and clip didn’t fit the 2” receiver part to small. It needs a 5/8” x 3” to 31/2” long hitch pin. The other pin sent fits the 11/4” receiver but still to short for clip to go in.

Tried to call two different days after receiving order could never get through.



by:

Purchased this when I got a new hitch from etrailer for my new car. Made sure I'm ready for any possible hitch situation, and this fit the bill perfectly. Great price, great product.



by:

I used this to attach hitch-mounted bike rack to a newly-installed front hitch. It takes the bike rack out beyond the bumper and grill, leaving plenty of clearance.



by:

Worked as described and allowed continued use of older bicycle rack made
for 1 -1/4 hitch.



by:

Has worked well for me. Use it to adapt my 2 inch hitch so I can use my bike carrier. Is well made



by:

This is the second time we've ordered from etrailer. Service is top notch - they always communicate each step of the way and delivery is fast. A couple of items were on backorder and they let me know right away and gave us suggestions of similar products, and the expected date if we chose to keep our original order. We stayed with the original order and the items came well before the date they thought it might be.



by:

A bit loose fitting allowing for a bit of movement. For a bike rack that's not ideal but it still works fine.

  • What Hitch Adapter Allows Me to Use the 1-1/4 Inch Yakima Dr. Tray on a 2-Inch Hitch?
    I have a solution for you. If you are trying to use your 1-1/4" Yakima Dr. Tray with on a 2-inch hitch receiver, the 2" Shank Adapter for Yakima Ridgeback or FullTilt Bike Rack 8890298 unfortunately will not fit. This is because this adapter is specifically made for Rideback and Fulltilt racks manufactured before November 2015. Also, I am sorry to say that Yakima does not carry a similar 2-inch adapter for the Dr. Tray. With that being said, there is still a way to use the Dr. Tray on...

  • Availability of Hitch Adapter to Go From 2 Inch Hitch to 1-1/4 inch Hitch
    Yes we do have hitch adapters to go from 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch hitches with the part # C45770. We do not have any hitches at this time for a 2022 Lexus NX 250.

  • Do You Sell a 2-Inch Hitch Adapter for a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack?
    If you have a Yakima Buckhorn 4 1-1/4" bike rack (which is discontinued from Yakima), I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. With this adapter, you will be able to use your 1-1/4" Buckhorn on a 2-inch receiver. It is important to note that using this adapter will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent.

  • What 2" to 1-1/4" Hitch Adapter do You Recommend for Use on My 2021 Ford F-350?
    For a hitch adapter, the only adapters we have for a 2-inch hitch is to convert it to a 1-1/4" opening. If this is the adapter you need, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. This is the shortest adapter we carry for 2" to 1-1/4". It is important to note that this adapter only works with Class III 2 inch receivers. We do have a slightly longer adapter that works for all class sizes of 2 inch hitches. That is the Hitch Adapter...

  • Is There a Curt 1-1/4" Receiver Hitch for 2007 Hyundai Veracruz
    While I do have a solution for you, there is not 1-1/4" hitch that will fit your 2007 Hyundai Veracruz. I do, however, still recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver 2" # 13545 for your Veracruz. In order to have a 1-1/4" receiver you simply need an adapter. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 for your needs. This will allow you to use any 1-1/4" accessories you may have.

  • Hitch Pin Holes on Draw-Tite Hitch Do Not Line Up
    The Draw-Tite hitch has one set of holes for your hitch pin to go through. There is an extra hole on one side in case you decide to use the optional Tow Ready # 63201 J-pin lock set and anti-rattle device instead of a standard hitch pin. While I am not right there to see the issue, I suppose it is also possible that your bike rack has a 1-1/4" square shaft that you are trying to put in a 2" receiver. Most 1-1/4" bike racks come with an adapter for 2" receivers. If yours does not you could...

  • What 2-Inch Class III Hitch Do You Recommend for a 2006 Nissan Murano?
    If you still need a hitch installed on your 2006 Nissan Murano, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13571. The Curt Receiver has a class III rating, and will be able to handle 3,500 pounds of gross towing weight and 350 pounds of tongue weight. As far as construction, the Curt hitch will be able to take a beating either on or off-road. The hitch bolts securely to your Murano's frame and comes with all installation hardware included. As far as an adapter, you will not need an...

  • How Can I Use a 1-1/4" Accessory on a 2-Inch Hitch for My 2022 BMW X3?
    By saying you have a 2022 BMW X3i, I assume you mean either a 2022 BMW X3 xDrive30i or the sDrive30i. You are correct that we only have 2-inch hitch receivers that are available for all models of 2022 X3. Although, there is a way to still use your 1-1/4" Class II accessory. For that route, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 along with the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13387. With the adapter, you create a compatible 1-1/4" receiver...

  • Is There a 2" Hitch Reducer Adapter That Can Be Retracted
    I do have some great 2" to 1-1/4" trailer hitch reducers but none of them retract into itself. There are option that offer an extension like part # C45770 but these also reduce capacity. If you need the extra capacity then you'll want to use part # HT02 which is just a simple reducer adapter without extension.

  • Does the Yakima Hold-Up 2 and Yakima Two-Timer use the same tongue assembly?
    Unfortunately the tongue of your Yakima Two-Timer is different from your Yakima Hold-Up 2, so they cannot be interchanged. I have included pictures below that show the difference. Your best option is two get the Yakima HoldUp EVO bike rack, part # Y02480. It is an 1 1/4" bike rack that can hold all sized bike tires. Then you would get a the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter, part # C45770, This will reduce your 2" hitch receiver to an 1 1/4". It will allow you to put your rack on each...

  • Recommended Solution to Reduce Hitch on 2020 Lincoln Corsair From 2" to 1-1/4"
    I have a solution for you, but I don't recommend using any adapter that extends the hitch away from the vehicle similarly to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 since those will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. Instead, I recommend using the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02, which won't reduce the tongue weight capacity but will still reduce the 2" receiver down to a 1-1/4".

    For your Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # TH9045 there is not a an adapter compatible for a 2 inch hitch from Thule and they also don't have the replaceable shank to upgrade to the 2 inch receiver. The best adapter to fit your truck is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770.

    The Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Yakima TwoTimer Bike Rack # 8880519 is only compatible with the TwoTimer. Yakima did make a replacement 2" adapter for the DoubleDown, but it has been discontinued. Although this will not work for your bike rack I do have a solution. The best way to use your 1-1/4" accessories on your 2" hitch is with a hitch reducer like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. Keep in mind, the use of this adapter...

  • How to Use Rola Convoy with 1-1/4 Shank on 2012 Jeep Liberty with 2 Receiver
    There is not a specific adapter for the Rola Convoy 9307 to adapt to a 2" receiver but you can use a hitch reducer sleeve like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 to make the 2" hitch on your 2012 Jeep Liberty into a 1-1/4" receiver. I prefer this to an extension type adapter because it uses the existing receiver and does not extend away from the cross tube significantly, so it won't reduce your tongue weight by 50% like the # C45770 would.

  • Will Curt 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Adapter Work With Dr. Tray Bike Rack
    Technically yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 will work with your Yakima Dr. Tray bike rack, though the adapter will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%, and the Dr. Tray instructions say not to use the rack with a hitch extender or adapter. So I have to recommend against using an adapter per Yakima, and there isn't a way to assess the strength of the shaft of the rack. Will it probably be just fine, especially since you...

    Thank you for your feedback! I've got a solution for you. While we offer quite a few hitch racks that are compatible with your e-bikes, it sounds like a ramp is pretty important to you, which narrows the field a bit. While I don't have the complete specs of your trailer hitch, it's likely that you have a Class III hitch installed on your 2019 Ford Escape with a 2" receiver, with a tongue weight capacity of at least 300 lbs.

    Hey Kenneth, so it looks like you should be able to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770. This adapter would go into your 1 1/4" hitch and expand it to a 2" opening so you can use the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83JV. Just be aware that whenever you use a hitch adapter like # C45770 you will lose approximately 50 percent of your hitches overall capacity.

There is not a replacement shank available to convert your rack to work with the 2" version. Instead you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770 so you can use the anti-rattle hitch lock included with your bike rack, and then use the # 63232 to secure the adapter to your trailer hitch receiver.

This is a USA-made hitch that is high quality and easy to install, no welding required. In order to use your 1 1/4" bike rack with this 2" hitch, using a hitch adapter such as the Curt Receiver Adapter # C45770 would be a great option.
