The hitch extender is axactly what I needed. I recently put a flat bed on my pickup truck and the hitch was no longer long enough to use until I got the extender. E trailer customer service was awesome as well
by: George 06/26/2023
Ashley is awesome. You should be glad that you have her Her customer service skills go above and beyond especially in today’s world. I would be proud to have had her work for me . The hitch extension was as advertised. The hitch extension and rear brackets were a day late which cost me extra time, into this Monday to get installed. Also missed the weekend for camping.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Hitch Adapters
- Can Hitch Extender be Used with Dual Hitch AdapterBecause there isn't tongue weight like you mentioned you can use a hitch extension like the # e48YR with your dual hitch adapter so that you have the needed clearance.
view full answer... - Do Cargo Carriers Have Max 350 lb Weight Capacity When Used With Hitch ExtenderA hitch extender will not reduce the capacity of a cargo carrier itself, though most extenders do have a max 350 lb tongue weight limit, such as the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long # e48YR. That said, extenders like # e48YR also reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so you have to go with whatever is lower - 350 lbs or half your hitch tongue weight capacity. For example, if your hitch had a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and you used the...
view full answer... - Can You Use a 2" Hitch Extender When Towing to Let Tailgate DownWe do offer hitch extenders which can be used for towing but the big thing to keep in mind when using such adapters is capacity, as they reduce this by 50%. The longest extender we offer for standard applications is 18" like the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers part # e48YR. The capacity of the adapter is 3,500 lbs or 50% of the hitch's weight capacity, whichever is lower.
view full answer... - Shortest Extension For TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer HitchHi Marty; while we do have an extension for your TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum, the shortest extension made by TorkLift for the SuperHitch is a 21 inch extension: - TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension - 21" Long # TLE1521 If you just want a standard 18 inch extension that fits in the 2 inch receiver of your TorkLift you can use part # e48YR, but it only has a 3,500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity compared to the SuperTruss having a 7,500 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity and...
view full answer... - Hitch Extension for Towing Trailer Below a Cargo Carrier With Gen-Y Stacked ReceiversOur Trailer Hitch Extender # e48YR will extend out your 2" ball mount 18". This extension is rated for a trailer up to 3,500lbs with a tongue weight up to 350lbs. Do note the extender will require you to reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50%. So if your current receiver is rated for 6,000lbs or more you will be within range for your 3,000lb trailer.
view full answer... - Can A Hitch Extender Be Used With A Lock N Roll Articulating HitchYes, you could use the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers # e48YR with a Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch like part # 336VS503505, but you'll be reducing the capacity of your vehicle's trailer hitch by 50%. If the trailer hitch is rated for 5,000lbs then you'd still have enough capacity for your 2,300lb trailer.
view full answer... - What Hitch Extension Is Needed For Carrying E-Bikes Behind a 2023 Ford Bronco On 1Up Bike Carrier?Using a 18" Extension # e48YR is most likely going to extend the bike rack much further than what you are needing. If your 2023 Ford Bronco does not come with a receiver we do have the Draw-Tite # DT37GR which is specifically designed longer. This will place the hitch pin center hole 3-1/2" behind the rear bumper which better allows for hitch mounted accessories to clear the rear tire. A Curt Receiver # C76WR which is more like the factory option places the hitch pin hole 3" in on the rear...
view full answer... - Hitch Extension that Could be Used with Thule EasyFold XT Bike RackFrom the center of the hitch pin of the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 to the nearest upright portion of the rack is 8 inches so to determine how much of an extension you may need you would need to measure from the center of your hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the rear spare and compare that to the 8 inch measurement I mentioned. Most likely an 8 inch extension like the part # C45791 would work well for you. If you needed something longer we have the # e48YR which is 18...
view full answer... - Can I Use An Extender For A 2-1/2" Hitch In A 2" Hitch?I do have some potential solutions for you, but we are not aware of any kind of adapter that would go from a 2" hitch to a 2-1/2" hitch. An adapter like that would cause a lot of folks to overload their 2" hitches. The 2" hitches are only rated for so much weight. Also keep in mind that the use of a hitch adapter/extender will effectively decrease your tongue weight capacity by half. Using an adapter plus an extension would drastically decrease your towing capacity, and this would not be...
view full answer... - Can Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Saely Be Used with Longer Shank to Clear TailgateYes, you can use the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU36FR with an extended shank, and for that I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 which measures 14" from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the adjustment holes for the ball mount section. Using a standard extended shank will be just fine and won't have any positive or negative effects on this system. The only time using an extender is an issue is if you add a standalone extender like the 18" Long...
view full answer... - Can the Yakima EXO Swing Away Carrier Be Used On A 2017 Ford F-350 With an In-Bed Camper?The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier # Y44ZR is not actually meant to be used with any type of hitch extender or adapter so with your truck having a hitch extender, it's not going to be recommended that you use this as is. That said, seeing as though you're still going to need to use some type of an extension, the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension # Y69VR has been approved and will work great with the EXO Swing Away # Y44ZR. If that is...
view full answer... - Options For Pulling a Boat Trailer Behind a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 with an In-Bed Truck CamperThe longest extension available that will work with the factory trailer hitch receiver on your 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 is the Trailer Hitch Extender # e48YR. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver to the edge of your truck bed camper to see if this extension is long enough. Keep in mind that a hitch extender like the # e48YR will reduce your trailer hitch receivers capacities by 50%, and has a max tongue weight rating of 350lbs and a max...
