• 14 inch Hitch Extender That Can be Used with Bike Rack for 2022 Land Rover Defender
  Using a hitch extender does cut the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle it is installed in by 50 percent. Since yours is rated for 350 lbs you'd be limited to 175 lb but we do have a 14 inch hitch extender with the Gen-Y part # GY89SR which would work well for you as long as the weight capacity factor worked out.

• Recommended Hitch Extender for H2 Hummer With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  You can use an extender with a B&W Tow & Stow like the # BWTS10048B but it will limit your towing capacity. The use of an extender will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. You will be limited by the 50% hitch capacity or the capacity of the extender itself, whichever is lower. I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches # GY89SR. This measures 14" long which should be enough to clear your tire and is on the high end for extender capacity with a maximum gross...

• How To Determine The Correct Hitch Extender For Towing A Boat Trailer With A Truck Bed Camper
  Adding a hitch extender to your setup does reduce the tongue weight and towing capacity by 50% so we would need to find an extender that's rated around the 10,000lb range to be safe. You'll also need to take into account the size of your Sierra's trailer hitch receiver opening and the length that you'll need to clear the truck bed camper. If you had a 2" receiver opening then something like the Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # GY89SR could be the solution...

• Hitch Extender Type Solution for Weight Distribution System
  I have a really great solution for you but none of the hitch extenders that fit a 2 inch hitch can be used with a weight distribution system. Instead you'd want to go with a much longer weight distribution shank. The longest 2" weight distribution shank for 1,400lbs of tongue weight is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution shank # EQ90-02-4600 which measures 18". This would give you about the same additional length you would get with the hitch extender you mentioned.

• Comparing Gen-Y and Curt 14 Long Hitch Extenders For a 2 Receiver
  The Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender # GY89SR is far superior to the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795. The Gen-Y is made in the USA, comes with a lifetime warranty and as you pointed out has the higher 10,000lb trailer capacity with up to 500lbs of tongue weight. The Curt is only rated for 3,500lbs of trailer weight and 350lbs of tongue weight. It also only comes with a 1-year warranty. For weight the Gen-Y only weighs 16lbs while the Curt weighs 18lbs.

• Solution for Hitch Extension With 1,000 Pound TW and 10,000 Pound GTW Capacity on 2000 F-350
  I have a possible solution, but none of the 14-16" extensions have a high enough capacity. The only thing that comes close is the Gen-Y # GY89SR which has a gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs, but the max tongue weight is only 500 lbs. This would also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% like many hitch extenders do. If you can handle it being slightly shorter, what you could use instead is the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20. This is 13-1/4" long and has the capacity you need....

• Does Gen-Y 14 Inch Hitch Extender Reduce Total Weight Capacity of Trailer Hitch
  So for your GMC Sierra 2500, I was unable to find exactly what the hitch itself was rated for; I'm seeing different numbers all over the place, but I can still answer your questions regarding a hitch extender.

• Is There A 12" Hitch Extension I Can Use While Flat Towing?
  I do have a potential solution for you, but I do not have an extender that will measure exactly 12". At least nothing that will be rated for use while flat towing. I do have a 14" hitch extender from Gen-Y part # GY89SR. This is rated for 10,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight. It is recommended to use an anti rattle device like part # e99007 when using an extension. This will help to reduce any additional play at the hitch. You will also need a second hitch pin like the # e98880. Please...

• Can a Hitch Extender Be Used With Ram 1500 Pulling a 5,500LB Winnebago Travel Trailer?
  I have a recommendation for you as there is not a hitch extender capable of supporting the weight of your Winnebago behind your Ram 1500. You may be able to use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 which is 6" longer than most weight distribution shanks. You only need to verify your Husky has a vertical hole spacing of 1-1/4" on center. Adapters like the Gen-Y # GY89SR require you to reduce your receiver capacity by 50%. This will most likely put you below the 5,500lb capacity...
