I put a 1.25" trailer hitch on a Ford Fusion Hybrid so I could mount one of my cargo baskets that require a 2" hitch on it. It worked fine to allow for this.
by: Lorance03/08/2024
Working fine for me. It sticks out from behind car, but I like it this way as to reach it.

I have a bike rack and hitch mount that have a 2 inch mount but only a 1 1/4 receiver on my car so this solved the problem and works great.

Worked exactly how I expected based off of description. Exactly what I needed. Thanks
by: Arynn06/20/2022
Product works after many attempts to rubber mallet it into the 1 1/4 inch receiver. The paint was so thick that I couldn’t push it in by hand. Some WD 40 and mallet smacks later, it not slides in, but still needs to be tapped out with the mallet. More annoying than anything else.

Not sure if it is the adapter or the hitch that is too large or too small...
Jenny N.
11/5/2022
What can happen is that a 1.25 hitch receiver does not always measure exactly 1.25 inches by 1.25 inches. There is a manufacturing tolerance involved that allows the receiver to be a few hundredths of an inches larger or smaller than 1.25 inches, but still be within tolerance. Due to the fact that the connection between a hitch receiver and the shank of a ball mount or hitch mounted accessory is not meant to be a precision fit. Sometimes the hitch opening will be smaller while the shank of the accessory is larger and it can be a very tight fit.
by: Ralph 07/14/2023
Does what it should do.
by: Henry02/19/2023
It fits fine but is a little loose. I have a welding buddy that's going to fix that

I would not recommend welding the hitch adapter to the hitch. Instead, I recommend using an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061-125 to make it fit tighter in the receiver.

not much to say...solid build.

- Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 for Bike RackI do have a solution for you but the only trailer hitch options we offer for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 are class 1, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C49CR which is what I recommend. That said, as you mentioned you can use a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but this not only reduces capacity but it also increase play/rattle. Therefore, I know this is not what you want to hear but your best option is a new rack like the Saris Freedom Bike...
view full answer... - Options For Preventing Wobble And Rattle When Using A Hitch Expander On A 2022 Acura RDXAll hitch expanders, like the etrailer.com # e43YR, will have a little play in them, and especially with this size. This is due to tolerances when building hitches and adapters and needing everything to fit, well, everything. The best way to combat this play is to use an anti rattle device. With that being said, the anti rattle devices available for 1-1/4" hitches are a little more difficult to install and remove than those of larger sizes. This is due to them being a little less common,...
view full answer... - Solution for Carrying Bikes With 2012 Lexus CT 200hThe only hitch confirmed to fit your 2012 Lexus CT 200h is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11200. Unfortunately, there are no 2" hitches available. I would not recommend attempting to modify your vehicle to attach a 2" hitch that was not intended for your Lexus. I also would not recommend using an adapter like the # e43YR to make your bike rack fit a 1-1/4" hitch since it will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50%. This would only leave you with 100...

That said, you can convert this to a 2" hitch using an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, using said adapter will reduce the hitch capacity by 50%. Unfortunately, the Hyundai Venue is a subcompact so they don't make the larger hitch size for this as the vehicle can't benefit from...
view full answer... - Is it Safe to Use Hitch Adapter on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Class I Hitch to Transport an E-BikePrice does play a pretty important role when choosing a trailer hitch, but for your application you really need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for transporting your e-bike with your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. When you use an adapter, like the 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter # e43YR, you'll be reducing the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is due to the extension causing more exaggerated movement since it sits further out. So not only will the weight rating of the hitch...
view full answer... - Is There a 2 Hitch for E-Bike Rack for 2023 Kia SoulThe only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Kia Soul are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67FR which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter to expand the 1-1/4" to 2" like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, the use of these adapters will cut your hitch/vehicle capacity in half.
view full answer... - Compatibility Of 1-1/4 to 2 Hitch Adapter On a 2021 Volvo XC60 With Class I ReceiverI do have a recommendation for you as it sounds like you have a class I receiver with a stop on your 2021 Volvo XC60. The stop prevents class II accessories like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR from being used. It has a measurement of 2" from the receiver pin center hole to the end of the receiver tube. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is 1/2" shorter from the receiver pin hole to the end of the shank at 1-1/2". You could also consider installing a Curt Trailer Hitch...
view full answer... - Using a 2" Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack With a 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch ReceiverI do have a recommendation for you as Thule only offers the Replacement 1-1/4" Hitch and Backbone Assembly # 753370902 for changing your Thule T2 Classic 2" to a 1-1/4". You can use either a Straight Adapter # e43YR or Rise Adapter # HT5R to adapt your 1-1/4" hitch to carry the 2" bike rack. Do note that the adapter will reduce the tongue weight rating on your receiver by 50%. So if you have a tongue weight rating of 350lbs you will have to stay 175lbs or below for the adapter.
view full answer... - Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Honda Civic SedanI do have an option for you but there are not any class III, 2" trailer hitches for a 2016 Honda Civic. There are only class 1, 1-1/4" options like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # e43YR or part # e93YR but just keep in mind, they reduce capacity so you're now limited to 100 lbs for the bikes and rack.
view full answer... - Adapter Required To Carry a Kuat Bike Rack with 2 Hitch On a 2023 Mazda CX-30 With 1-1/4 ReceiverYou may not be able to use an Adapter # e43YR with your Kuat bike rack and the Curt trailer Hitch Receiver # C49CR on your 2023 Mazda CX-30. Since the receiver is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and the use of an adapter lowers the receiver capacity by 50%. So with the receiver only being able to then support 100lbs, the Adapter # e43YR weighing 6lbs and the Kuat Bike Rack # BA22B weighing 52lbs it leaves you with only 42lbs for your bikes. You may need to switch to their Transfer Bike...
view full answer... - What is the Shank Part on a Hitch Receiver CoverThe shank would be the piece that you insert into the hitch receiver. So for a hitch cover like the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover # PC002282R01, there are 2 different shank options you can place the Darth Vader cover piece on so it will fit whether your vehicle has a 1-1/4" or a 2" square receiver. It looks like you were looking for a light up hitch cover so I recommend checking out the Pilot # CR-007 which is a simple square design that fits a 2" receiver and plugs into a...

- Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Volkswagen Golf SportWagonI do have an option for you but the only trailer hitch we offer for a 2013 Volkswagen Golf SportWagon is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11474 which has a class I rating with 1-1/4" receiver opening. It features a bolt-on install without any drilling required. If you have a 2" accessory then you'll have to use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR but keep in mind these adapters reduce hitch capacity by 50%. That said, it's your only option as there...

If a skull with glowing red eyes is not your cup of tea, you could use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 6-1/2" Long # e43YR with the Flint Hill Goods Square LED Brake Light Hitch Cover for 2" Hitches # FHG72VR. The adapter would allow you to use the 2" # FHG72VR on your 1-1/4" hitch, but it will stick out 6-1/2". These lights require...

Both the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR which will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11356 and Hitch Adapter # HTAD reduce the capacity of the receiver by 50%. This will reduce the tongue weight from 200lbs to 100lbs by using the adapter and will likely push your bike rack with any bikes over the 100lb limit. By using the EcoHitch...

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 class II receiver is our only custom fit receiver for your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. There are a couple ways you can get to a 2" opening receiver. First would be to use an Adapter # e43YR but this will lower your towing capacity and tongue weight by 50%. Second would be to use a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This may require some customizing on your Buick as it is a universal style receiver. Finally you can take the Receiver #...
view full answer... - How to Use Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack with 1-1/4" Hitch on Subaru CrosstrekIn order for your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV to fit with your 1-1/4" hitch receiver you'll need an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch # e43YR. The only issues with this solution are that using an adapter like this reduces the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% plus Thule doesn't recommend using an adapter like this for this bike rack. The only way they will be okay with the T2 Pro XTR being used with a 1-1/4" receiver is if the rack has the 1-1/4"...

That said, if you need a larger opening you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR. Please note, these adapters do reduce capacity so you'll need to keep that in mind. Unfortunately, as the Buick Encore is a small crossover there's no need for the larger receiver...

It has a 1-1/4" opening which will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you need a larger 2" opening you'll have to use an adapter, the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR.

I prefer the Curt option that is assembled in the USA and noted for having a superior powder coating. Each of these options have the same specs of being a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. They are rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. Meaning that the vertical load on these hitch options...

Therefore, so long as the height of the roof rack on the vehicle and weight of the boat are within this range then you'll be good to go. Please note, the t-load is designed for 2" hitches so the only way to use this with a 1-1/4" hitch is with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR.

I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 as it sits under the bumper for an easy install. If you must have a 2" trailer hitch then you can use an expander with the above like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but keep...

If you need a 2" opening you can use an adapter like the 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter part # e43YR just keep in mind your capacity will be reduced by fifty percent.

A Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver is often the only option for cars like yours since they don't have a high towing/tongue weight capacity. It is possible that your bike rack can have the shank replaced if one is available. Some models have a 2" version and 1-1/4" version that can be interchanged.

Sometimes what happens during the powder coat process is that the paint is put on a little thick, which can cause the application to not fit properly. We recommend lightly sanding the adapter where it is not fitting and then covering it with a rustoleum type of paint.
