I had to remove burrs from the inside of the tube, both at the holes drilled (for hitch pin) and the end where the ball hitch goes in. The welded boss on the end of the tube had burs left over from the cutoff operation. The ball hitch would only slide in a couple of inches prior to deburring it. Also the packaging was not very good, see pictures. No damage to the product but I am surprised it even stayed in the box during the trip here, it was completely loose in the box and tore it apart during transport.
The product is good the packaging for shipping needs improvement. The box came ripped in half and only the tape on the bottom of the box was holding the box together. The plastic cap for the one end was broken and unusable. The other end had a dent in the metal that had to be filled down to be able to insert it into the receiver. The bracket for the plug extension to mount into the hitch extension was bent together so it had to be bent back straight. This was to be able to insert the plug and line up the 4 holes to be able to mount the receiver plug to the extension.
Have not had a chance to use the hitch extension as of yet but I am sure it will perform as designed. My disappointment is in the following areas: 1) The packaging was very thin and flimsy. Came torn to pieces and it is a miracle the part was not damaged more severely. 2) The harness bracket was bent and I had to bend it back into position 3) The company logo on the end of the hitch is supposed to be a cool chrome piece. It is shiny plastic and is the only thing that is not beefy on the part. I can’t wait for it to break off and just have black steel showing. Think the tool is what I will need and it is what was advertised, just disappointed in the things that were mentioned above.
I bought this to haul a trailer behind my truck with the truck camper in the bed. I had to cut it down a bit, but that was no problem - sawzall did the trick. My camper is the length of the bed with the tailgate down and I haul a 6,000lb enclosed trailer with gear.The truck is a 2020 GMC 2500 at4. This hitch has held up well. The only issue with the enclosed trailer is tight turns can hit. Hope this review helps someone.
Solid built as are all Reese products, allows us to tow a trailer with our Lance 975 truck camper in the bed. The camper has an extended deck on it.
Had to cut off about 1/2 inch as it hit my spare tire on the other side of my 2.5 in hitch receiver on my hd3500. Also you should recommend along with this product the appropriate 7 blade female adapter that fits into the 2 inch receiver side of the extender. I need a female side with or without pre-wiring that I can hook into item e99001. Now I can extend to my trailer 7 blade male plugin.
Delivered in a timely manner! Exactly as described! Great product! Super heavy Duty! Great web site! Very easy to use!
Haven't used it yet but looks like just what I need. Thanks Quinn for all your help !!
I'm very happy with the hitch extension bar, the product arrived on time in excellent condition and there were no complications with the seller. I did decide to add support chains at 45 degrees going back to the hitch because I was uncomfortable with the lateral movement. That decision added about $50 to my final installation cost but now I am very comfortable with the set up.

I have only had one opportunity to use the hitch extender but I have no regrets purchasing it. I am certain it will come in handy sometimes.
A great heavy duty extension just what I needed for the pickup when the camper is on. The service at eTrailer was great. There was a slight mix up in the billing versus shipping information. eTrailer called me got it taken care of and the product arrived with in a few days of the order.

After a year of use I am still satisfied with the heavy duty extension.
I bought this to extend the receiver on my F350SD 4x4 diesel SRW out to the bumper of my Alpenlite Camper. I like that it tapers to a 2x2 receiver at the trailer end, so I can use my 2x2 hitch bar to haul a light kayak trailer. It looks to be heavily constructed and should meet my needs since the largest trailer I will haul is a 5400#(fully loaded) Lance 1685 Travel trailer with a tongue weight of 500 pounds. I use an adjustable WD hitch with a only enough tension to level the trailer and smooth the ride.
"The extension did not fit a new Curt 2 1/2" receiver, both fresh out of the box. This is contrary to this comment "Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # C15809 will fit your 2011 Dodge Ram 3500. As far as the Titan extension, # RP45018 or # RP45292, I have tested these extensions in a Curt hitch with the 2-1/2 inch receiver and found that it will fit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the trailer hitch."
The problem appears to be with the extension, not the Curt hitch, because a 2 1/2 to 2" reducer fits the Curt hitch in a typical fashion, easily inserted. I was able to fit it to the hitch by grinding off the paint and easing the corners a little.
Fits fine now, but had some installation issues on my 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Out of the box at full extension it fit my truck fine. Once I cut it down to the 24" length at the factory marking it was too long and interfered with the spare tire. I cut an additional 1/2" and it went in with clearance for the tire. Then I found the hole for the hitch pin was crooked. Too high on one side and low on the other. Half an hour with a Dremel and all was OK.
The bracket for the wiring is excellent.
I haven't towed with it yet but it appears solid and I expect it will do the job.
Good fit...had to trim 1.5 inch's to allow for the spare tire on the Chevy 2500 HD. Only problem is the pin hole does not line up with the holes in the hitch....so will have to use a dremel tool to trim some metal away from the existing pin hole on the extension. One other comment, I wish the raise on the ball end of the extension was 4 inchs higher.... It is low to the ground, I am concerned I will have clearance problems with some driveways at gas stations, with the welded skid plate on the extension dragging....
Well made, high quality. I initially installed it without support chains and turnbuckles. Even in that configuration it was rock solid. I've since installed the turnbuckles as seen in the pictures (I got the turnbuckles from etrailer.com also). A small issue with the product - I had to cut approximately 1" off of the extension to use it "at full length" due to the positioning of the pin hole; the extension hit my spare tire. Not a big deal to cut it, which brings me to my second issue - in the video they say to cut it with a hacksaw. This thing is made from hard, thick steel and I would not recommend nor envy the person who has to cut it with a hacksaw; get a metal cut-off wheel for your angle grinder.
Been using this extension for about a year. Made several long trips pulling my boat which has a 730lbs tongue weight. I added side turn buckles to add side to side strength.
the home made extension that came with the 11.5 ft camper was to springy I used a 2 and 1/2 ft. 2"x2" extension between my receiver and the Titan extension this gave me the support I needed to haul my 16ft. boat behind my camper. the service and shiping was fast and great.
I received and installed this hitch extension. The service from etrailer was very prompt and I am well pleased with their service. The fit to my Ford F350 was fine and the holes lined up to my receiver. It does however, butt right up against the spare tire through the receiver with no room for error. it could use a little more spacing but I am well pleased with the quality and finish.
The tube has to be shortened 1" to fit stock 2021 F250 receiver hitch otherwise end hits full size spare tire.
I use this hitch extension to pull a 23 foot Center console boat behind my slide in truck camper. I have never had a problem with this hitch extension it is excellent.
I needed this hitch extension due to my truck camper overhang. We are hauling a u-haul cargo trailer. It shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in perfect condition. I had to shorten the length to 24" and used Etrailer suggestions on how to cut the pipe. Thank you Etrailer.
Good value. Strong and just what I needed. Required cutting an inch off the butt for it to seat deep enough in my RAM 3500 factory receiver. Also required grinding out the corners of the receptacle to insert hitches. Not perfect but I'd buy it again.
Part came double boxed and was shipped on the day I order it. I have a 2011 Chev 3500 HD, crew cab, short box and I had to cut off 1 1/2 inches from the back of the hitch, because it hit my spare tire. Might be a Chevy thing.
Works great. I just need to add a few turnbuckles to help with the side to side movement a little bit
Works well with our truck camper and bo at.

You can use a metal file to remove small burrs. If you do be sure to touch up the area with a rust resistant paint.
