This magnetic hitch reducer adapts your 2-1/2" receiver for use with 2" hitch accessories. Slides into your reciver and is held in place by 2 strong magnets. Hitch pin and clip or hitch lock sold separately.Although seemingly mundane this hitch sleeve is very well designed. The tolerances are well executed so fit into my truck is perfect. The magnetic design provides extra security. One feature that I find genious is the long oval holes on each side making it super simple to line up the hitch pin after inserting into the receiver. I highly recommend this product!
From an alignment standpoint, it fits perfectly in the Ford F250 Superduty receiver. The real test will be to see if the reducer sleeve's magnets keeps it aligned with the hitch pin holes with no movement when I insert my 40LB travel trailer hitch and then try to insert the hitch pin. My hope is the magnets are strong enough to allow sliding the travel trailer hitch in and out while the reducer sleeve remains aligned with the hitch pin holes. I will provide a future update on this.
This receiver reducer sleeve was just what was needed for us! In order to allow our Towtector to fit between the drawbar on our truck and the end of the receiver, the reducer had to insert completely. All of the "normal" reducers with a single hole rather than a slot still extended an inch or so from the receiver when the holes for the pin were aligned. The slot feature of this reducer allowed the hole in the receiver to align with the reducer anywhere along the length of the slot and provided just enough extra space between the end of the reducer and the haunch of the drawbar to allow the rock guard to fit. The magnets were an added bonus as they fix the reducer in the receiver and make it easier to get the pin through all pieces. As always, e-trailer was a pleasure to work with during ordering, delivery and post shipment follow up.
The question is, why do they still make the other more common kind of sleeve with the single hole? This design is superior. No more struggling to get the hitch pin aligned when its 5 degrees out. And the "no rattle" magnets are the icing on the cake.
This thing is awesome - so much easier to slide in and out of the receiver hitch than the one that came with my vehicle, since the flange gives you something to grab on to.
The magnets do a great job of holding the unit in place, when inserting the hitch, but it's still relatively easy to remove by simply sliding it out.
magnets did not stick to receiver on a 2019 f250
This is brilliant. I struggled constantly with the cheap adapters. They either didn’t fit or they move around as you insert the 2” hitch. This fits and works perfect. Trailer hitch is 2 1/2” but other hitch’s I have are 2” so I will leave it in the truck for use when required. Thank you etrailer.
What a game changer. No longer trying to juggle the heavy hitch while lining up the sleeve. Thanks for the upgrade!
Works great and the slot made it much easier to insert the locking pin.
The sleeve works great. It makes it much easier to insert a hitch compared to the factory sleeve.
Installed item on a 2023 Dodge Ram. Had to cut off about 3/8 inch from top flange to fit under bumper. Product never said it fit a truck. Easy fix and a high quality and well thought out product. Excellent delivery time.
Great idea, holds sleeve tight. Not a lot of play because magnets hold it in receiver. Not having to remove every time is a plus
The receiver fit was good and the magnets on it will not let it fall out if you forget to remove it.
With the oval hole, makes lining up the hitch pin a breeze!
definitely tightened up my receiver, much less wiggle room now.
This fits the 2 & 1/2 inch receiver and It fits great! HOWEVER the Superduty Ford has a 3 inch receiver, so there is STILL a rattle to reduce the opening down to the standard 2 inch opening! I don't understand why Ford did this! And I don't understand why it wasn't clear that this does not reduce the 3 inch opening, just the 2 &1/2 inch opening? Other than that it is much better than the double shimmed adaptors that I wasted over $xx on
Slotted hole in adapter made it very easy to use
Upgraded to my truck which came with a 2 1/2” receiver. This device simplified the process that allowed me to use my 2” hitches. Simple and effective. Line up is a cinch.
Easy to align hitch pin hole.
Perfect fit for my Powerwagon hitch.
Well made and fits perfectly. Very sati sfied.
Nice project. Is a little loose in the receiver and should be about 2-3” longer
Awesome product! AAA+ with the magnetic, super cool
Best invention ever! I have lost these before driving off and forgetting it was there. And I love the long slot! Trying to line up the stock one is always a major pain.
This is the receiver reducer I should have bought in the first place instead of going on Amazon and finding one that was mostly good enough. This thing slides right in and stays there while I slide the tongue in, and the elongated hole means I get a perfect mount on the first try.
