This Cannon hitch extender is specially designed to work with your 3" factory Ford Super Duty trailer hitch. Like most products from TorkLift, the primary purpose of this extender is to help create a towing setup that fits perfectly with your truck bed camper system. Not only will you be able to extend your trailer hitch receiver out far enough to clear the overhang of your camper, but you will also maintain a high enough weight capacity so that you can tow your trailer.
Heavy-Duty Towing with a Hitch Extension
Most hitch extensions dramatically reduce the towing capacity of your hitch setup, making it difficult to tow a loaded trailer over a certain weight. The Cannon, though, creates such a sturdy connection with your 3" OE trailer hitch that you can still maintain a high weight capacity. To get the highest capacity possible, use a standard weight distribution system with the TorkLift towing setup.
The shank of the Cannon extension slides into your receiver and is held in place with the included hitch pin and clip. The connection between the extension and your hitch is reinforced with a set bolt underneath the shank that tightens up to the receiver for a snug fit and prevents rattle and movement in hitch.
To give you absolute peace of mind, lateral support chains connect to the hitch and the extension on either side of your setup. Just attach one end of each chain to the extension and secure the opposite end to your hitch. Then tighten the chains with the integrated turnbuckles. These chains not only provide extra security to keep the extension in place in your hitch, but they also transfer some of the weight back from the extension to your frame-mounted hitch.
How to Determine the Cannon Length You Need
If the camper is mounted on the truck:
Measure from the face of the truck's rear bumper to the outside edge of the camper's bumper. This is the length of the extension that you need.
If the camper is not mounted on the truck:
1. Measure from the inside of the front of your truck bed to the outside face of the truck's rear bumper.
2. Measure the camper's overall floor length from the rubber bumpers at the front to the outside edge of the rear bumper.
3. Find the difference between these 2 figures by subtracting. The difference is the length of the extension that you need.

Just got it this afternoon and removed my old oneand installed this new one. The box was in bad shape from trip, but the hitch extension and accessories were all there and in good shape. Looks like a much better setup than I had. Thanks for a good product and great service. Not very common these days, but greatly appreciated!

She's boxy...and a little heavy...but she's good! If using with a truck camper, save your back and put it on before the camper goes in the bed.

- 42 Inch Hitch Extension for 2020 Ford F-350 with In-Bed CamperWe have the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension for 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch # TLE1642. You will not be able to use an extension of this length with a rise hitch adapter. This is because the 42" hitch extender has to be secured with lateral-support safety chains in a straight line
view full answer... - Where are Torklift Hitch Extenders Measured FromThe Torklift hitch extensions like the Cannon part # TLE1648 are measured from the hitch pin hole to the hitch pin hole. This one is 48 inches between the pin holes. The # TLE1642 is 42 inches.
view full answer... - Recommended 48 Inch Extension for a 3 Inch Ford Factory Hitch For a 48" hitch extension that fits a 3" receiver you're going to want the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension item # TLE1648. This hitch extender is specially designed to work with Ford's 3" factory trailer hitch. This is the only option for that length of an extension. It is limited to a 3,000 lbs capacity. There are two shorter options with a slightly higher capacity. I have listed them below. 36" Long - TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension - 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch item # TLE1636 42"...

For a 2-1/2" receiver you will need the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 which can be used as a 34" extension of cut down to a 24" extension.

view full answer... - Hitch Extender for 2-1/2" Hitch on 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 DuallyI have a solution for you, but the TorkLift # TLE1642 is designed to fit in a 3" hitch receiver and reduces your hitch down to a 2-1/2" receiver. If you're looking for an extender that fits in a 2-1/2" receiver and will reduce it to a 2" receiver, the Curt # C45048 would be what you're looking for. It does not appear that we have anything available that will extend a 2-1/2" hitch and not reduce it, nor is there an extension that would make the receiver larger.
view full answer... - Hitch Extender that Can Fit Ram 3500 that has 2-1/2 inch Hitch ExtenderWe do have great hitch extender options for trucks like your that have 2-1/2 inch hitches like the Curt part # C45048 but the # TLE1642 only fits the new Ram trucks that have 3 inch hitches. The Curt # C45048 can be used as a 34 inch extension or cut down to a 24 inch extension which typically works great for camper applications like yours. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this as well.
