So, you have a two inch hitch, but you have a 1 1/4" accessory for that hitch. Well, etrailer designed a couple of different reducers, to reduce your two inch down to 1 1/4" so you can use those accessories. All of our reducers are going to be a hollow shank, so we can put an anti-rattle device on the inside of there, if we wanted to. But this is the longest one of all of them. So, from the center of each hole the distance is seven inches, so that's the amount you're going to extend off, but you're also gonna reduce it as well. The distance from the center of the hitch-side hole to the edge is gonna be 2 3/8".
And then right here is gonna be 1 5/8" from the face to the center of our hole. So, all you gotta do is just put it in like any other accessory. Line it up. And it does not come with a hitch pin or clip, but you want to get a 5/8" diameter, just because there's not much play there at all. And the reason why I talk about the hollow shank is you really do want to put a anti-rattle system in place.
So, you can either use the little piece that goes on the inside of the shank of our accessory, or there's another thing we can do, which is our anti-rattle device. So, this one can be used with hollow or the solid shanks, and it just goes like this. Let me line this up. You'll want to make sure that lip is facing down. There's a washer that we put on each of 'em, and then a lock washer we put on each of 'em, and then we just take this little nut on both sides, snug it down.
And the last thing we need to do is push this all the way up against our hitch receiver tube. Get it tightened down the best you can by hand, and then take a 3/4" socket to tighten it down. You wanna be pretty even with this to make sure it's nice and snug up against the hitch receiver. Kind of jump from one side to the other until it's nice and tight. And as you can see, and hear, there's no rattling going on, and it is one with our hitch receiver.
Something I definitely recommend grabbing, especially if you're already grabbing a hitch pin and clip for it. So now, all your 1 1/4" accessories are gonna be able to work, even if you do have a two inch hitch receiver. If you do have a 1 1/4" ball mount, you do not want to tow with these. That's just how it is. So, this isn't gonna be a solution for those who want to use that 1 1/4" ball mount to haul your trailer. It is gonna have a capacity of 350 pounds tongue weight, and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight, but look at the rating of your hitch on your vehicle and cut that in half. Because with any reducer, whether it's etrailer's brand, or any of the others on our website, it will cut that capacity in half. You don't have to get a new accessory to fit your new size hitch, and you don't need to swap out your hitches just to use your one accessory you had before. Problem solved with the etrailer hitch reducer..

This adapter works much better than etrailer's 7" adapter since it basically consists of the 7" adapter with a 1 1/4" hitch throat welded to it. This allows bike racks to fit much more snug & also allows enough length to use etrailer's combo locking pin/anti hitch rattle device which, in addition to providing security for the adapter, essentially eliminates any play of the adapter in a 2" receiver. My bike rack doesn't sway or bounce in the least with the anti-rattle device.
by: Joe 08/28/2023
As always, a perfect fit.

Wanted this adapter so I could use my 1 1/4" bike rack on my 2" hitch. Sized is reduced by welded steel plates inside the reducer. Poor tolerances. Was more like 1 3/8" inside width, so my 1 1/4" bike rack mount flops over to one side or the other.
by: Tim 05/07/2024
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!
by: Karl 05/07/2024
Fits my 2 inch receiver (class II) perfectly so I can use my bike rack that I bought for a previous vehicle with a class I hitch.
by: Mark H02/26/2024
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.
by: Donna02/18/2024
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.
by: Tom04/26/2024
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.
by: David 04/08/2024
Another great product from etrailer. This item along with my recent hitch purchase is the "one two" punch for quality products and service. Etrailer is absolutely the best. Would highly recommend their products and great service to everyone that is looking for quality at an incredible price.
by: Chris 04/04/2024
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.
by: John04/06/2024
magnets did not stick to receiver on a 2019 f250
by: Douglas 02/09/2024
I originally thought that it might be a little long however, I needed the length to allow the back hatch to open freely with the bike rack in its folded-up position. Also, the folks at etraier told me exactly which receiver adapter to buy.
by: Chuck 03/05/2024
Quick and easy ordering and delivery. The hitch receiver reducer sleeve fits perfectly.
by: David 04/29/2024
What a game changer. No longer trying to juggle the heavy hitch while lining up the sleeve. Thanks for the upgrade!
by: Phil 02/17/2024
The pin hole didn’t line up with my Marine Corps hitch cover so I had to drill the hole a little bit more to line up right.
by: Craig 05/09/2024
Works great and the slot made it much easier to insert the locking pin.
by: Gary 01/03/2024
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.
by: Greg 04/29/2024
The sleeve works great. It makes it much easier to insert a hitch compared to the factory sleeve.
by: Steve 04/23/2024
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.
by: Matt G.03/23/2023
Exactly as described. Fit down to my 2" hitch items. It was slightly difficult to get all sleeves and item aligned and insert the hitch pin but we made it.
by: Mark12/05/2023
The receiver fit was good and the magnets on it will not let it fall out if you forget to remove it.
by: Fred 03/10/2024
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
