  • Shortest Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitch
  • The shortest trailer hitch extender we offer for a 2" trailer hitch is the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # HE06 which measures 7-3/8" long. We do not offer any trailer hitch extenders for a 2" trailer hitch that are 4" or 5" long. Please note that using a hitch extender of any length will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50%. If you can tell me what you are wanting to use the hitch extender for I would be glad to see if we have any other options for you.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on the Back of a Trailer
  • I am not really sure what you are trying to do but you can install a trailer hitch on the rear of a trailer. There are two different kinds of trailer hitches for trailers, frame mount and bumper mount. The frame mount hitches are much stronger but will require more effort to install whereas bumper mount hitches typically have less of a capacity as they are limited to the bumpers capacity but require less effort to install. Please note that before you install a bumper mount hitch you will...

  • Trailer Hitch And Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation For A 2017 Toyota Camry
  • I do have a trailer hitch to fit your vehicle, unfortunately it will not be a 2" trailer hitch. We only have 1-1/4" trailer hitches for your 2017 Toyota Camry. My trailer hitch recommendation is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4", part # C12107. It is a 1-1/4" trailer hitch with a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. Once your trailer hitch is installed, you need a hitch bike rack. My recommendation is the Thule...

  • We have several different trailer hitch options that will allow you to use a cargo carrier on your Jay Feather M218 trailer. You must keep in mind that there is significantly more bouncing at the back of the trailer and because of this we recommend taking extra precautions when using a cargo carrier behind a trailer or RV.

One of the most universal fit trailer hitches for an RV is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This hitch is adjustable to fit RV frame widths from 22 inches to 72 inches wide.

  • Hitch Adapter Recommendation and How to Tell If Trailer Hitch is Class I or Class II
  • Both Class I and Class II trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receiver openings. The particular class rating should be listed somewhere on the trailer hitch that is installed on the 2003 Ford Escape. If you cannot find the class rating, there should also be a tongue weight and towing weight capacity listed on the hitch. A Class I hitch will typically have a tongue weight of 200 pounds and towing weight of 2,000 pounds. A Class II trailer hitch will be higher rated and usually have a 525 pound...

  • Trailer Hitch that Can Fit RV for Carrying Bike Rack
  • We have multi-fit hitches that will work great on your RV like the Curt # 13703 but the two hitches you mentioned are not going to work great without a large amount of modification potentially as they were made for passenger vehicles. I attached an install video for the # 13703 for you to check out on a similar trailer as well.

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Honda Ridgeline OEM Trailer Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, but the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover # 63080 that you referenced will not work for your OEM trailer hitch. The # 63080 is specially designed to fit Draw-Tite 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. We do not have any similar products designed to fit factory OEM trailer hitches. As long as the ball mount that you use to tow your trailer is hollow, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 for you. This threaded hitch pin works...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Lexus ES 350
  • I have a solution but the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver 90072 you referenced will not fit your vehicle, and currently there is not a Hidden Hitch trailer hitch receiver that is made to fit your 2017 Lexus ES 350. The only two options made for your vehicle are the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I #C11362 and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II # 36530. Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are owned by the same company and are the same part. Both trailer hitch receivers will be...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Cruze
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24882, does not require a stabilization strap when carrying non-trailer loads such as a bike rack. But it is a good idea on a class I trailer hitch just because it relieves some of the stress on the hitch. If you decide to use a strap, you can use # 18050. Since this is a class I trailer hitch, you will need to make sure your bike rack is compatible. Some racks cannot be used on a class I trailer hitch. If you find you do need a rack that is compatible with...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation On A 2011 Ford Edge SEL
  • We have two Class III hitch receivers available for your 2011 Ford Edge SEL, Curt part # C13067 and Draw-Tite part # 75992. In order to tow a trailer with 2 jet skis, you will need the weight capacity a Class III hitch offers. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver as this hitch will not be as visible from above in comparison to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver. The Draw-Tite Class III hitch is rated for 4000 lbs. of gross trailer weight (GTW) and 400 lbs. of tongue...

For example, the curt has an extra mounting bracket above the receiver opening. The Draw-Tite hitch will require the exhaust to be temporarily lowered for installation. Out of the hitches...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
  • At this time, the only trailer hitch listed as a fit for the 2013 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11276. The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches have not been confirmed to fit your vehicle. The Curt hitch is very similar to the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches. The only significant difference is that Curt's warranty requires the use of a stabilization strap, like part # 18050, for all non-trailer loads such as bike racks or cargo carriers. If...
