The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers.
On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.

Works great and reasonably priced. etrailer Customer Service is absolutely the very best. My first shipment arrived missing the hitch extension. Customer Service quickly responded to my communications and shipped a replacement the same day.
As you can see from the photo the hitch extender is perfect for my Polaris Ranger and allows me to use my small lawn n yard implements.
I highly recommend etrailer.

This extender does a pretty good job of keeping my bike away from the rear radar system in my Venza so the backup warning system does not engage in error. Beware it’s pretty heavy.
by: Art 04/03/2023
This hitch adapter has worked perfectly as an extension for using a bike rack that extends past the trailer spare tire.
by: Gerald 08/04/2023
The extension works perfectly on my class C motor home. Now my cargo carrier doesn't interfere with the back ladder.
by: Cory08/30/2021
perfect length for my specific application. Because the end piece is solid I was not able to insert an anti-rattle device into it. Therefore I will probably weld the extender to the double receiver since it'll be a permanent application.

Good quality for fair price. The perfect extension I needed for my fifth wheel to install a bike raxk

I had a problem with my order, which called for the order to be sent again. I received the second order in two days, which was greatly appreciated! The items I received were exactly what I wanted and high quality. The customer service to fix my order problem was excellent!

This product is solid and clearly can handle the weight load as stated.

Fits trailer perfectly...arrived in ti.ely fashion...thank you

Curt’s brand, only the best! USA made, The shaft that goes into the hitch is solid steel not the hollow China crap. I used the hitch extension to make a rear hitch step 12” wide by 38” long for my ford van. I strap my kayaks on top for when we go camping this step just gives me that need height to get them in the kayak saddles before I climb on top to tie them down. I put two kayaks on top so the 38” across comes in handy. With my front hitch I can also put it in the front when I’m working on my van or truck to give me that extra hieght - I’m 6’ and I can’t reach a lot of stuff, even cleaning the windshield.

Box was damaged and there was no item in box I already called and spoke to a nice customer service lady
by: Boyd06/01/2021
I had a back ordered item that eventually came along with some other items I ordered at the same time. I’m not good about waiting but the wait was worth it as the entire order came a couple days ago and I immediately started using the items. Thanks for getting it right.

Works very well just like advertised.
by: Mike K03/18/2019
The weld looks solid, but needs ground down, or the hole drilled in a different location. The weld prevented the holes to line up. I had to go get a grade 5 1/2" bolt to secure it in place, rather than a hitch pin.
by: Michael04/05/2020
It is pretty long so works well with exterior spare tire vehicles or if you want access to truck tailgates down with load extenders. Have not used it in that capacity as of yet.
by: Warren11/15/2018
I order a 14" steel (2" type) hitch extension and I received a heavy steel, well-made extension; as advertised. eTrailer found that upgraded faster shipping was available at the same price as regular slower shipping, so they upgraded me. Very nice service!
by: Robin F10/02/2016
This product is well built and quality! It allows me to use the hitch platform on my Jeep liberty without having to remove the spare tire. Exactly what I was looking for and a quick delivery as well! Great investment.
by: Don02/12/2018
Thank you for your email, I was amazed how quick I received my item. Just bought a newtruck I tow an atv and on my old truck I dented up my tailgate from the device that lowers and raises the trailer, this extender did the trick, now the tailgate on my new truck won't get all screwed up.

Works great had one on my Motorhome it broke had to buy a new one on the road way to long

Product is just what we needed and we put it to use immediately with no problems. It enables us to freely engage the rear lift door of our vehicle with my handicap scooter loaded on it's carrier. Great for us.
by: Don E.08/24/2017
Ordered a 14 inch trailer extension and the quality is a 10 out of 10. Probably weighs 25lbs. Was very quickly sent to me, really days before I expected it. Great company to do business with.

- Will Curt Trailer Hitch for 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Work to Provide Turning Clearence While TowingThe Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches part # C45795 provides a 14" extension when measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole on one side to the other. I can't say for sure if this will provide the turning clearance you need but if you take a few measurements that should give you your answer. That said, there are stipulations to using an adapter and that's reduced capacity. The adapter will reduce the capacity of the hitch/vehicle to 350 lbs tongue weight and 3,500 lbs gross...
view full answer... - Does Adapter Used in Trailer Hitch Reduce Towing And Tongue Weight CapacityWhen you use any adapter in a trailer hitch like part # C457954, it reduces the trailer hitch towing capacity and tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.
view full answer... - Clearance Behind Rear Mounted Spare Tire On Hummer H2To determine if there is enough clearance from the rear mounted spare tire on your Hummer H2 for a Cargo or Motorcycle Carrier or hitch mounted bike rack you will want to take a couple measurements. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge, like a yardstick or a dowel. Hold the straight edge vertically against the back of the spare tire, and make sure the straight edge extends below the hitch pin hole on your hitch. Then measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole...
view full answer... - Is a Hitch Extender Recommended for Bike Carrier to Clear Spare Tire on a Travel TrailerUsing a hitch extender such as # C45795 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. It will all add additional stress to the hitch and to where it is mounted on your travel trailer. I do not recommend using an extender. Since you already have a bike rack that is compatible with the travel trailer the best solution would be to stow the spare tire in an alternate location. The benefit is that it won't cost you any money to do so and you will not have to worry...
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Hitch Extender for Bike Rack on Jeep Wrangler with Rear Spare TireTo determine the length you need measure from the hitch pin hole on your Jeep's trailer hitch receiver out to the edge of the spare tire. Then add an inch or so to give you a little space. Some extenders are only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle and not to hold any tongue weight so make sure you choose an extender that is designed for carrying accessories since you're going to use it for a bike rack. Part # C45795 is a great 14 inch option. 37 inch tires are normally 12 or...

- Maximum Tongue Weight Capacity of C45795 Hitch Extender if Used With Weight Distribution BarsThe maximum tongue weight capacity in any circumstance for the # C45795 hitch extender is 350 lbs. Keep in mind, though that using an extender will reduce the tongue weight and towing capacity of your hitch by 50% which will limit you to whatever the capacity of your lowest-rated component is. Because using the extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity to a large degree, I wouldn't recommend using an extender. If you could reply and tell me exactly what you're needing to accomplish,...
view full answer... - Can I Install An Extender On the Front Hitch For a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500If you were to use a 14" hitch extender like theCurt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 with a front mount trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65078 then your new vertical load rating would be 250 lbs as most adapters like the above reduces the weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. I do not have an exact weight capacity per unit of measurement outward from the trailer hitch unfortunately as this is just not something that the...
view full answer... - Can Hitch Extension Help Allow Truck to Lower Tailgate When TowingA hitch extension does cut your trailer hitch capacity by 50 percent, but for as light of a trailer as you have and how heavy duty your tow vehicle is that wouldn't be an issue. So yes, a 14 inch hitch extension like the # C45795 would be a solid choice to allow you to drop your tailgate!
view full answer... - Long Weight Distribution Shank To Act as Hitch ExtenderYou can use a longer weight distribution shank to add extra length like with the Curt # C17122 which is 16 inches long and has a maximum rise of 10-1/2 inches or drop of 7 inches. But you cannot use a hitch extender with a weight distribution system like the part # C45795.
view full answer... - Solution for Clearing Spare Tire on Jeep Wrangler for Hitch Mounted Cargo CarrierWe do have a large selection of hitch extenders that are designed for exactly the situation you described in your question. The particular extender you choose will depend on how much distance you are needing in order to clear the spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler. I recommend taking a quick measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch receiver, to the outermost edge of the spare tire. You will just need to make sure you pick an extender that will reach at least this distance....
view full answer... - Does Use of Cargo Carrier Reduce Trailer Hitch CapacityCargo carriers like the Curt carrier part # C18113 attached directly to a trailer hitch without the use of an extender like the part # C45795 do not cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. If this carrier was installed in your hitch directly, you'd get the full capacity of the trailer hitch.
view full answer... - Availability of 12 inch Hitch Extender for 2015 Ram 3500 for Towing 5,200 lb Horse TrailerHitch extenders typically cut the capacity of the hitch they are used on in half. However, if you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed the part # HR26 would be perfect as it is right at 12 inches. The good news is that with a 2-1/2 inch hitch the extenders only cut the capacity by 25 percent instead. If you have a 2 inch hitch on your truck you instead would want the part # C45795 which is 14 inches long. Your truck should have a very high-capacity hitch installed on it and reducing it...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Extender Recommendation for a 4 inch Bumper on RVThe Curt hitch part # E-100 will fit a 4 inch square RV bumper like what you have on your fifth wheel and has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. The thing about using extenders is that they reduce the hitch capacity by 50 percent. So you would only have 175 lbs of capacity with the # E-100 and an extender like part # C45795. You also will need to determine what the capacity is for your bumper as well and be sure not to exceed half of it's weight rating with the weight of what you plan to carry.
view full answer... - Availability of Long Ball Mount and How to Measure for Needed Clearance When Pulling a TrailerThe ball mount (or stinger) is measured from the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball or the center of the hitch ball hole if there is not an integrated hitch ball. I've attached a video of the Brophy Ball Mount - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20 which shows the measurement of the ball mount for length. You also want to make sure you have the correct rise or drop to allow you to tow level. I've attached both a link to all your long shank ball mount options...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Extender for Class V HitchHitch extenders are not rated based on Class III, IV, or V. The use of a hitch extension in most cases will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%. There is not a 10 inch option, but there are many similar sizes that may work for your application. For instance, the Roadmaster Hitch Extender for Tow Bars--11 inches # RM-071 has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs but only a tongue weight rating of 100 lbs. It is designed to be used for flat towing. The Curt Hitch Extender for 2"...
view full answer... - What Hitch Extender Do I Need to Clear a 35/1250/17 Spare Tire on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?The tire width of a 35/1250/17 spare tire is 12-1/2 inches. If you have a hitch receiver that like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98856 that sits flush with the end of your 2016 Jeep Wrangler's bumper, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. The 1-1/2 additional inches of the 14-inch extender will allow you to attach accessories without interference. It must be noted that any time you use...
view full answer... - 14 inch Hitch Extender that Can be Used to Tow 4,500 lb VehicleWe have a hitch extender that does have the capacity needed and is 14 inches long with the # ST12 but the Curt you referenced would not have the needed weight capacity as it is limited to towing up to 3,500 lbs. The # ST12 has a 7,000 lb towing capacity.
view full answer... - Do All Hitch Extenders Reduce Capacity for a 2018 Ford F-150For a 14" hitch extender I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extender part # C45795. This extender will however reduce the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% or limit it to 350 lbs tongue weight (TW) and 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight (GW) whichever is the lower of the two. Unfortunately, the only hitch extender we have that will not reduce the trailer hitch's capacity is the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension but they do not make a trailer hitch that will allow you to use this extender...
view full answer... - Will the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack Work On a Toyota Sienna Or Is Hitch Extender NeededThe Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack part # S64665 is a great option for a Toyota Sienna. It would not require any sort of hitch extension; the hatch would still be accessible with the bikes removed and the arms folded down. If you wanted to use a hitch extension like part # C45795 then you'd have weight capacities reduced by 50% so not a good idea.
view full answer... - 12 inch Hitch Extender for 2 inch Hitch that Can be Used for TowingFor a similar 14 inch hitch extender that can be used to tow a trailer we have the Curt part # C45795 which would work well. It has a capacity of 3,500 lb trailer weight but you need to keep in mind it cuts the capacity of the hitch it's installed in by 50 percent. Blue Ox's extender was made to be used with flat towing setups so that's why it's not rated for trailer use.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2007 Ford E-450 Chassis on Old U-Haul TruckSince the frame ends so far short of the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. Then you will need to use a hitch extender like # C45795 which will reduce your overall towing capacity to 3,500 lbs and 350 lbs tongue weight but you will still be able to tow any trailer within that range.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Extender with a Step to Use on a Truck with In-bed Camper and to Tow a TrailerWe actually have an extension that is 18 inches long, and has a built-in step on it. Take a look at # ST18. Like you have said, by using the extension the tongue weight capacity of the hitch is reduced by 50 percent. But as long as the tongue weight of the trailer does not exceed the reduced capacity you should be fine. I would also urge you to disconnect the trailer before stepping on the step because the combined weight of a person on the step and the trailer tongue weight could exceed...
view full answer... - Using Hitch Extender on 2012 Jeep Wrangler so Cargo Carrier Clears Spare TireThe particular extender you referenced, part # RM-071 is designed for a rolling load, like flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome. It is not intended for use with a hitch-mounted accessory like a cargo carrier. An extender like part # C45795 that offers 14 inches of extension would be a better choice. Using any hitch extender will lower the tongue weight capacity (the maximum amount of weight that can safely be suspended from the hitch) by 50 percent. All of the 2 inch receiver hitches...
view full answer... - Solution for Lengthening Distance Between Hitch and Boat Trailer for LaunchingWe may have a similar solution that would work. If you needed an 18 inch extension the part # HE18 would give you more length to lower the trailer into the ramp. Basically this fits into your 2 inch trailer hitch and gives you a second hitch opening 18 inches back from that. For a slightly smaller extension we have the part # C45795 which would give you 14 inches instead. You should note that these extensions cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent.
