Expert Answers about Chevrolet Hitch Adapters

• Available Types of 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Hitch Towing Adapters
• We carry many types of towing adapters for goose neck and 5th wheel hitches and trailers. Some of these adapters install in the goose neck ball hole, such as Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate # C16220 that fits their EZr Double Lock gooseneck hitch. This adapter provides the equivalent of base rails for any industry-standard 5th wheel hitch. Other adapters install on the ball itself, like the Demco Recon # DM8550045, which is a complete 5th wheel hitch, not just a rail adapter. You...

• Is The Hidden Hitch Adapter # 80303 The Shortest 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Hitch Adapter Available
• The Hidden Hitch 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Hitch Adapter, part # 80303, is our shortest adapter, but can only be used with a Class II receiver. If you have a Class I receiver, you will need part # HTAD. Part # 80303 will stick out about 1-1/4 inch less, than # HTAD. You can check the label on your hitch or send us the hitch number to find out if it is Class I or Class II. I am including a link to a FAQ page that will help describe the different classes of trailer hitches. Please note, using...

• Available Hitch Adapters to Convert 1-1/4-Inch Hitch to 2-Inch Receiver Opening
• It sounds like you might be looking for a hitch adapter to allow using an accessory of one size in a hitch of another size, such as using a 2-inch hitch bike rack in a 1-1/4-inch hitch receiver. We do offer many such adapters that can be seen on the linked page. Hitch adapters come in several varieties. There are expander adapters that fit a 1-1/4-inch hitch and provide a 2-inch receiver opening, such as # HTAD. There are also extender type adapters like the 2-inch # C45791 that simply...

• Availability of Hitch Covers to Fit 2012 Ford Escape
• The two hitch receiver sizes that fit on a 2012 Ford Escape are 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch. We carry hitch covers that fit both sizes. I am including a link to a few of the Ford branded hitch covers in both sizes. We offer the Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD, that will adapt a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver size to a 2 inch hitch receiver size. With this adapter installed in your 1-1/4 inch hitch it will allow you to use 2 inch hitch covers. You will not want to tow using the # HTAD adapter,...

• Trailer Hitch Adapter with Rise and 2 Inch Receiver for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
• There is something similar to MaxxTow adapter MT70070 that fits 1-1/4 inch hitches instead of 2 inch hitches. Take as look at the Brophy adapter, # HT5R. It fits a 1-1/4 inch Class I or II hitch and has a rise with a 2 inch receiver on the top. An adapter that features 2 receivers though is not available for a 1-1/4 inch hitch. Please note the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. It will also put more stress on the hitch and vehicle.

• Availability of 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter That Clamps to Gooseneck Hitch Ball
• The Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter you mentioned, part # 16310 isn't designed to attach directly to a gooseneck ball. The square shank of the adapter is meant to fit into the square hole where the ball would install into a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch. I've linked the instructions for you. If you currently have a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, the # 16310 adapter would work great for you. You'd release and remove the gooseneck ball and insert the shank of the adapter in its place,...

• Availability Of Adapter To Go From 1-1/4" Hitch To A 2" Hitch
• We do have an adapter that will allow you to attach a 2" cargo carrier to the 1-1/4" hitch on your 2016 Nissan Altima. I recommend the adapter # e43YR. This is 6-1/2" long and will go in to your 1-1/4" hitch and give you a 2" receiver on the other end. It is important to note that when using an adapter, you will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. So if your trailer hitch is rated for 200 lbs tongue weight, you will only be able to carry 100 lbs. This will include the weight...

• Class I Hitch Cargo Carrier with Good Ground Clearance on 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen
• Please take a look at Curt Class I carrier # C18110. This carrier has 3-3/4-inches of rise in the shank and it provides 6-3/4-inches of clearance from your hitch pin hole. This will fit your hitch without an adapter. The cost for this carrier is about the same as what you would have to spend on multiple adapters and it is a far safer solution that will not cost you a loss of hitch capacity. Having something fabricated would definitely cost you more and I do not recommend this because that...

• 1-1/4-Inch to 2-Inch Hitch Adapter for Use on Subaru Forester
• There are several different classes of 1-1/4-inch hitches offered for the Subaru Forester. Without knowing the vehicle's model year I cannot be absolutely sure if the hitch on the vehicle is a light-duty Class I type or a higher capacity Class II. Please note that 1-1/2-inches is not a standard size for a receiver opening; they are typically 1-1/4-inch, 2-inch or 2-1/2-inch on heavy duty trucks. We do offer hitch adapters and extenders that will allow 2-inch hitch accessories to be used...

• Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Volvo XC60
• Anything that will adapt from a 1-1/4" hitch to mate with a 2" accessory will also extend the mounting point to some degree. I suggest the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 80303 as this is the shortest option available. This will extend the hitch pin out 6" from current but will allow you to use 2" accessories with your 1-1/4" hitch. Please note that use of this, or any other similar adapter, will reduce the hitches max weight capacity by half.

• Availability of 1-1/4-Inch Class I Hitch Adapter/Extender for Curt Hitch # C11391
• We do offer several hitch extenders and adapters that will fit into a 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch like the Curt # C11391. The linked page displays three Class I-compatible adapters. For example, Brophy # HT5R is a 1-1/4-inch-to-2-inch adapter that has built-in rise of 5-1/2-inches and extension of 7-inches. Like all adapters use of this item will reduce your hitch's capacity by 50-percent. This means that if you use any one of these extender/adapters your hitch's 200-lb tongue weight (TW)...

• Hitch Choices for 2004 Scion xB
• We do have hitches available for your 2004 Scion xB, like the Curt # C11487 but they are a Class I with a 2000 lb towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity. The capacity of the hitch will be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle, if it's less. I noticed you had looked at the hitch adapters like # 80303 that would allow a hitch accessory with a 2 inch shank work in a hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. These adapters are only compatible with a Class II hitch, which has a higher weight...

• Available Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapters for 2008 Ford F-350 Short Bed
• The gooseneck-to-5th wheel adapter you need depends on which gooseneck hitch setup you have installed in your 2008 Ford F-350 short bed. All gooseneck hitch fits for your truck are shown on the linked page. Some use a round ball hole while others use a square hole. For example, if you happen to have Curt gooseneck hitch # C60720 or # C640-644, both of which have a round hole for the gooseneck ball, you can use the X5 Adapter # C16210 that provides the equivalent of industry-standard 5th...

• What Trailer Hitches are Available for the 1998 Honda Odyssey
• The only trailer hitch for the 1998 Honda Odyssey is the Curt # C11067 which is a Class I hitch with the 1-1/4 inch receiver. A 2-inch hitch is not available. Using an adapter is not a feasible option.. When you use of an adapter, it reduces the trailer hitch tongue weight by 50 percent. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11067, that you have referenced, has a tongue weight capacity of 150 pounds. With a 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapter installed, it drops to 75 pounds. Anything installed in the hitch...

• Adapter to Lower Height of Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier
• A 2-inch high/low hitch adapter like Roadmaster # RM-048-6 will provide 6-inches of drop (or rise) to allow your 2-inch cargo carrier to be lower than hitch height. Part # RM-048-4 will give you 4-inches of drop (or rise). Do please note three important considerations when using either of these adapters. These have a 400-lb tongue weight rating, which means that no matter how much capacity your hitch may have, the combined weight of the cargo carrier and what you load onto it cannot exceed...

• 5th Wheel Base Rail Adapter for Use in 2016 Ram 3500 Mega Cab
• Reese adapter part # RP30154 fits into the factory 5th wheel pucks in your 2016 Ram 3500 to provide the equivalent of industry standard rails (ISRs). This adapter adds 2-inches of height to your hitch set up. In some cases a Pull-Rite hitch can have a slider with enough travel that it could place extra stresses on the adapter, so I urge you to check with Pull-Rite (since we do not carry their hitches) by giving them your hitch part number to ensure they have no compatibility concerns with...

• Hitch Adapter for Travel Trailer to Allow Use of 2-Inch Cargo Carrier
• We do not offer hitch adapters for 1-1/2-inch hitches. You may want to re-check your measurement to be sure since the 1-1/4-inch Class I or Class II hitches are far more common on travel trailers. The linked article will be helpful. If you do have a 1-1/4-inch hitch you can use an adapter like # HT5R from Brophy which will give you additional ground clearance thanks to its 5-inches of rise. But please note that like all hitch adapters it will cause a 50-percent reduction in your hitch...

• Hitch Adapter for Thule Hitching Post
• If I am understanding your issue correctly, you need the Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter for Thule Doubletrack, Hitching Post Pro, # 853-7489. And yes, you slide this on to the shank and screw it into place to hold it. That piece is what upsizes it to a 2". Check out the short 2 min. product review and installation video I have linked as it provides a complete walk through of what to do. You then secure with a hitch pin as usual.

• Trailer Hitch Availability for 2010 Mazda 5
• Both trailer hitches that we offer for your 2010 Mazda 5 are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, but an adapter can be used to install a 2 inch hitch accessory. Between the two options I would go with the Draw-Title Sportframe Traile Hitch Receiver # 24773 as it has a slightly easier install process. I have linked an installation video for you to check out. If you need to adapt this 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver, I recommend the Brophy Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch #...
