Expert Answers about Kia Hitch Adapters

• What 2" to 1-1/4" Hitch Adapter do You Recommend for Use on My 2021 Ford F-350?
• For a hitch adapter, the only adapters we have for a 2-inch hitch is to convert it to a 1-1/4" opening. If this is the adapter you need, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. This is the shortest adapter we carry for 2" to 1-1/4". It is important to note that this adapter only works with Class III 2 inch receivers. We do have a slightly longer adapter that works for all class sizes of 2 inch hitches. That is the Hitch Adapter...

• The distance from the back of the 2 inch hitch opening of the Brophy Hitch adapter part # HT5R back to the center of the hitch pin hole on the 1-1/4 inch shank is 3-3/8. I attached a picture where that dimension has been added as well.

• Can the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Be Used With a Hitch Expander
• The Swagman XTC4 4 Bike Rack # S64665 can be used with a hitch adapter, like the Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD. However, there are some things to consider with a hitch adapter. When using a hitch adapter, the tongue weight of your vehicle's hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. So if your trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds, with a hitch adapter it will have a tongue weight of 100 pounds. This means that the bike rack and all bikes loaded will need to weigh less than...

• Hitch Adapter Recommendation for Converting 1-1/4 inch Hitch to 2 inch Hitch
• Yes we do. The part # HTAD is an adapter designed to adapt a 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch. You should note that adapters like this cut the capacity of the hitch they are used on in half. I attached a review video for this adapter plus a help article on adapters like this for you to check out as well.

• 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...

• Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for a Hitch Adapter Used on a 1-1/4 inch Hitch
• When you use a hitch adapter like the part # HTAD you cut the capacity of the hitch in half. The bike rack would not be affected, but the hitch and frame of the vehicle where the hitch attaches would potentially be affected if you were to overload the reduced capacity. For a device that would reduce the movement of the adapter in your hitch you would want the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge # MPG908. With this the movement would be reduced greatly. If your hitch is a Class I hitch you would...

• The Thule Courier Bike Trailer and Stroller # TH69HC will fit most bikes. But it does require an adapter depending on your bikes set-up.

• Will Thule Aluminum Shank Adapter, # 853-7292, Work In A 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
• The only way to go from the 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch bike rack is to use the Brophy Hitch Adapter, # HTAD, but you will reduce the tongue weight capacity by 50 percent on the lowest rated item, either the trailer hitch or the vehicle. For example, if your 1-1/4 inch hitch has a 200 lbs. tongue weight capacity and you use the Brophy hitch adapter the hitch tongue weight capacity will be reduced to 100 lbs. The Thule Replacement Aluminum Shank Adapter - 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch, # 853-7292,...

• Using a Hitch Extender with a Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Ski Carrier Adapter
• The adapter you are inquiring about attaches to the bike rack not the ski adapter. The ski adapter, part # TH9033, attaches to Thule bike racks. If you have a Thule bike rack, it will work with adapter # HE18. However, you do need to keep in mind your limitations when using the adapter. Using a hitch adapter will reduce your trailer hitch tongue capacity by 50. So if your trailer hitch is rated for 350 pounds of vertical load, you will only be able to load 175 pounds on the hitch. You will...

• Hitch Expander Adapter Compatible with Class I Trailer Hitch
• I have a solution for you, but the MaxxTow MT70355 (discontinued) that you referenced fit Class II trailer hitches only. It will not work on your Class I trailer hitch. For a hitch expander with a 5 inch rise, you could use the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5 Inch Rise # HT5R. If you want an expander without a rise, you can use the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. It is important to keep in mind that using...

• Anti-Rattle Option for Curt Hitch Adapter C45785
• While we do have an anti-rattle option for you, there isn't an anti-rattle hitch pin that will work with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4" (Class II) to 2" # C45785. The best option that will reduce the rattle with this adapter is the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125. This will attach to your hitch and you'll tighten the U-bolt, which in turn will tighten the adapter to ensure a quieter, rattle-free ride. I have added a link below to a video...

• Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Hitch Adapters Compatible with Round Shank Curt Receivers
• We have a solution that will give you the ability to use a fifth wheel adapter with the Curt gooseneck hitch you have in your truck, but there is nothing that will allow your B&W Companion hitch to fit into the round ball hole on your gooseneck hitch. We do carry the Curt X-5 Hitch Adapter Plate, part # C16210, that is designed to work with your Curt hitch. This adapter comes with the round shank needed for the gooseneck hitch you have installed in your vehicle. Once this adapter I installed,...

• 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Hitch Adapter Solution for Lost Adapter of Schwinn Bike Rack
• The best solution we are going to have is a sleeve adapter like the part # HT02 which fits your 2 inch hitch and adapts it down to a 1-1/4 inch hitch like you need. We can't recommend you attempt to use the Sportrack adapter on a different brand rack as it hasn't been tested and could possibly be unsafe even if by chance the mounting holes lined up.

• Tongue Weight Capacity of the Brophy 1-1/4 to 2 inch Hitch Adapter # HT5R
• The maximum tongue weight of this adapter is 300 pounds. Please be aware when using any hitch adapter the tongue weight capacity of your hitch will be decreased by 50 percent. According to Brophy, the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 to 2 inch Adapter # HT5R the weight capacity of the adapter will exceed the weight capacity of the 1-1/4 inch hitch. Therefore the capacity of the hitch will be the limiting factor. For example if the hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds then the hitch adapter...

• Recommendation for a 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Hitch Adapter to Fit Draw-Tite 1-1/4 Class I Hitch # 24769
• The Draw-Tite Sport Hitch # 24769 you have is a Class I, therefore, the hitch adapter you need to convert your 1-1/4-inch to a 2-inch receiver is the Brophy Adapter # HTAD. The reason the box store hitch adapter would not work is because adapters are made for a specific class of hitch. The manufacturer actually puts a punch in the steel to prevent a Class II accessory from being used in a Class I hitch. Your hitch is a Class I, therefore, your adapter needs to be Class I approved, which...

• Vehicle Protector Compatible With Dual Hitch Adapter & Blue Ox Tow Bar
• We have an option for you, though the way the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 installs onto the receiver means it isn't going to be compatible with a dual-hitch adapter. Instead, what you can use that will work with a dual-hitch adapter and your Blue Ox tow bar is a Blue Ox protective guard: - Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870 This will do a superb job of keeping your towed vehicle safe, and because it mounts on your Blue Ox tow bar (on all tow bars...
