The fact that it's steel is a plus, and it extends the hitch so that the bike rack that's attached now is far enough away from the hatch to not bang against it. Great product!
by: Patrick 06/27/2023
Ordered for our Kuat rear mount bike rack, as our SUV had a larger hitch receiver. Well built, clean machining and a perfect fit. Fast shipping and exactly as advertised. Great communication surrounding the order. Couldn't recommend more.

Very good service, products as expected delivered at time

great company! quick turnaround. when i installed a new axel on my trailer a few years back support was always there for my questions. i recommend them for anyone needing the products they supply
by: John 09/25/2019
Bike rack is 1 1/4 inch and I needed this adapter to put it into my 2" hitch receiver.
Adds a little distance to keep the bikes away from the back of my Jeep.
by: Corey10/18/2021
It does the job, but it does have some wobble. I got this to put a bike rack on, and needed to get an anti-wobble kit to hold it in place. I suppose if you had a trailer the wobble wouldn't matter as much, but watching my bikes bounce around through the rear window was unsettling.

Once there are multiple attachment points on a hitch accessory, sometimes an anti-rattle device like Item # e99007 is needed.

Again, a well-made product! I love buying products that are made right here.

no issues at all. Met expectations
by: James M.11/07/2020
Hitch adapter is exactly what I ordered. However this review is not really about the adapter itself. It is about Etrailer.com's customer service. The adapter was shipped in the box along with a new hitch that I had ordered. The shipper somehow destroyed the box and only the hitch arrived. The adapter was lost. When I reported the missing adapter, Etrailer.com immediately shipped out a new adapter, which I received a couple of days later. Problems do happen, what makes the difference is how a company responds and takes care of the problem. Etrailer.com response and handling of the problem far exceeded my expectations and will be one of the reasons I will consider them first for any of my needs that they can supply. Bravo Zulu

The trailer hitch and accessories we purchased through etrailer for my wife's RAV4 Hybrid were reasonably priced, excellent quality, and have proved perfect for our needs. It's the 2nd time we've purchased a similar package from you nice folks. I've learned you're exactly the place I need to go when I need a hitch or related products. Thanks from a most satisfied repeat customer.
by: Nicolas 07/31/2022
About what you would expect. A little more play than I was hoping for. Bike rack was a little wobbly but some tie-downs shored things up. Well made product.
by: Tall Dan06/03/2019
This is a simple product that allows you to use 1 1/4 inch receiver mount in a 2 inch receiver. I'm using it for mounting a ATV winch receiver mount in the front receiver on my pickup truck. As with all steel Curt products it is very well made and seem to have powered coating to make it last a long time; time will tell.
by: Kevin B.02/11/2022
Recently I purchased a stealth hitch for my 2022 BMW X5, (model SH25VR), and had the techs from etrailer install it. I could not be more pleased with the quality and service that I received. Since this is my wife's car, I knew she would be very conscious of the appearance and this style of hitch gives the best of both worlds, completely hidden, (when the receiver is not engaged), and easy to install when needed. I've always been taught that you pay for quality once, and with this product and installation, that is truly the case.

The 4" adapter is about right for length.......not too short and not too long.
Heavy duty construction should bring longevity of use. I don't like the "slop"
fit ......but imagine it has to be that way. Ordered bracket to tighten this up to
stop movement of the bike rack and for other uses. Would suggest the sales
force mention these brackets to make it one purchase, instead of two, if people
want to tighten up the fit. The adaption from 2" to 1 1/4" for bike rack is perfect.
Company sells several options for stopping the rattles and sway.
by: Rich 06/23/2020
Excellent Adapter for extending and attaching a Thule bike rack to a 2" receiver. More solid than a Thule sleeve, and the extensions provide ample clearance to open the SUV Rear Door.
by: Jay06/26/2019
The adapter is pretty straight forward. I am writing this review because I wish I had called and spoken to someone when I first bought the hitch. I bought the hitch (no shipping charges), then realized I need an adapter. I paid shipping charges for the adapter and then realized I really wanted anti-vibration, locking pins (more shipping charges). This is no reflection on etrailer, they're great. But there is a lesson to be learned from my lack of forethought.
by: Marie 04/26/2020
Purchased this when I got a new hitch from etrailer for my new car. Made sure I'm ready for any possible hitch situation, and this fit the bill perfectly. Great price, great product.

Bought this to put into Curt hitch receiver in order to fit my bike rack. No issues and looks great. Highly recommend.
by: Justina10/02/2020
This is the second time we've ordered from etrailer. Service is top notch - they always communicate each step of the way and delivery is fast. A couple of items were on backorder and they let me know right away and gave us suggestions of similar products, and the expected date if we chose to keep our original order. We stayed with the original order and the items came well before the date they thought it might be.

Has worked well for me. Use it to adapt my 2 inch hitch so I can use my bike carrier. Is well made

Worked as described and allowed continued use of older bicycle rack made
for 1 -1/4 hitch.
by: Jim 09/12/2020
The hitch pin and clip didn’t fit the 2” receiver part to small. It needs a 5/8” x 3” to 31/2” long hitch pin. The other pin sent fits the 11/4” receiver but still to short for clip to go in.
Tried to call two different days after receiving order could never get through.
by: James07/13/2019
I used this to attach hitch-mounted bike rack to a newly-installed front hitch. It takes the bike rack out beyond the bumper and grill, leaving plenty of clearance.
by: Wallace P.01/05/2021
A bit loose fitting allowing for a bit of movement. For a bike rack that's not ideal but it still works fine.

- What 2-Inch Class III Hitch Do You Recommend for a 2006 Nissan Murano?If you still need a hitch installed on your 2006 Nissan Murano, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13571. The Curt Receiver has a class III rating, and will be able to handle 3,500 pounds of gross towing weight and 350 pounds of tongue weight. As far as construction, the Curt hitch will be able to take a beating either on or off-road. The hitch bolts securely to your Murano's frame and comes with all installation hardware included. As far as an adapter, you will not need an...

This is the one you will need to use since your Prius has a class 1 receiver. For using the same rack with your Silverado 2500HD that has the 2-1/2" receiver you will need 2 adapters. I recommend the B&W Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve # BWRHXA2182 that will slide into the receiver and make the receiver tube 2". You will then use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770 to bring it down to the...

I contacted Draw-Tite to discuss the # DT92RR hitch, and they are currently researching its compatibility with the Hybrid model after discovering issues with fitment near the exhaust. I recommend you go with the Curt # C23FR hitch. It is a confirmed fit for the Hybrid and there are some helpful customer reviews showing it installs and works well on your vehicle. The Curt hitch is a 2 inch instead of a 1-1/4 which will...
view full answer... - Do You Sell a 2-Inch Hitch Adapter for a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack?If you have a Yakima Buckhorn 4 1-1/4" bike rack (which is discontinued from Yakima), I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. With this adapter, you will be able to use your 1-1/4" Buckhorn on a 2-inch receiver. It is important to note that using this adapter will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent.
view full answer... - How To Transport A 60lb E-Bike On A 2013 Ford EdgeI do have a solution for you, however, the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT has a weight capacity of 35lbs per bike, so this will not be able to safely carry your E-bike. There is currently no trunk mounted bike carrier that is capable of transporting your 60lb E-bike. For your 2013 Ford Edge I recommend the hitch-mounted Inno Tire Hold 1 Bike Rack # INH110. This has a weight capacity of 60lbs. Since the weight of your e bike would be close to or over the weight capacity of the rack, you could...
view full answer... - How To Use Thule T2 Classic For 1-1/4 Receiver TH9045 In 2 Trailer Hitch ReceiverI have another option for you, but you are correct that the Thule Shank # 853-7292 you purchased does not fit your Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack with a 1-1/4" Shank. There is not a replacement shank available to convert your rack to work with the 2" version. Instead you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770 so you can use the anti-rattle hitch lock included with your bike rack, and then use the # 63232 to secure the adapter to your trailer hitch receiver. Keep in mind...
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device for 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Receiver Adapter Carrying Bike RackBecause using an adapter like the # C45770 adds another piece to the connection between the hitch receiver tube and the hitch mounted accessory (bike rack in this instance), you will tend to get some more movement than you normally would. If you were to use a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch, part # RM-061 where the adapter connects to the receiver hitch, it would prevent movement there. If your bike rack already has an anti-rattle threaded hitch pin, you won't need to do anything about the connection...
view full answer... - Using Yakima HoldUp EVO for 1-1/4” Hitches on a 2” Hitch ReceiverI definitely have some options so that you can use your Yakima Hold-Up EVO Bike rack # Y02480, but the reason Yakima does not recommend using an adapter with this bike rack is because most hitch adapters reduce the weight capacity of your hitch by half. An example of that is this Curt Hitch Adapter # C45770 that not only makes your hitch smaller to fit 1-1/4" accessories, but it also extends out by 4" if you need extra length for clearance issues. The drawback is your weight capacity is...

My recommendation is to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 which has a hidden crossbar but a 2x2 receiver. You can then use a trailer hitch adapter like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770 to convert the 2x2 receiver to a 1 1/4x1 1/4 so you can still use your Kuat Bike Rack. Using a trailer hitch adapter will reduce the maximum...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Kia SportageThough we have class 3 hitches available for your 2023 Kia Sportage, we do not have any class one hitches. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR. After installation it will give your vehicle a clean off the factory look with only the two inch receiver head showing. It has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. If you're needing to reduce the 2 inch receiver to a 1-1/4 inch receiver you can do that by using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770. Using...
view full answer... - Hitch Pins for Use with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770Hitch pins are not included with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770. The reason they aren't is that not everyone needs a hitch pin so instead of forcing people to pay extra for a part they may not need it's offered separately. For the 1-1/4 inch portion of the adapter the pin and clip you'd need is the part # F-4 and then for the 2 inch portion you'd want the part # PC3.

I recommend completely avoiding this with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH49ZR. This custom fit hitch uses a different installation process so the lack of weldnuts will not be an issue. The Stealth Hitch replaces the factory reinforcement beam on the back of your vehicle. The hitch has a tongue weight of 350 lbs and is only for hitch...
view full answer... - Will Curt 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Adapter Work With Dr. Tray Bike RackTechnically yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 will work with your Yakima Dr. Tray bike rack, though the adapter will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%, and the Dr. Tray instructions say not to use the rack with a hitch extender or adapter. So I have to recommend against using an adapter per Yakima, and there isn't a way to assess the strength of the shaft of the rack. Will it probably be just fine, especially since you...

While we offer quite a few hitch racks that are compatible with your e-bikes, it sounds like a ramp is pretty important to you, which narrows the field a bit. While I don't have the complete specs of your trailer hitch, it's likely that you have a Class III hitch installed on your 2019 Ford Escape with a 2" receiver, with a tongue weight capacity of at least 300 lbs. The Yakima # Y36FR bike rack comes with that ramp you're looking...
view full answer... - Using an Adapter on a 2 Hitch for a 1-1/4 Boone Outdoor Tailgate Table on a 2018 Ford EdgeYou can indeed use a hitch adapter to pair a 1-1/4" accessory like the Boone Outdoor Tailgate Table, part # BH70114, with a 2" receiver. Using an adapter reduces your tongue weight by 50%, so remember that if you plan on towing heavier accessories with a 1-1/4" shank. If you are worried about sway, then you need an adapter that has a shorter shank. I recommend the Curt Adapter, part # C45770. It only has 4" between the center of one hitch pin hole to the other. I've linked to a video review...
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter for Installing 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Accessories in 2 Inch HitchAnytime a hitch accessory is left in a receiver for an extended period of time, you'll run the risk of the hitch and the shank of the accessory or the adapter corroding over time and becoming rusted together, which is why we don't typically recommend leaving hitch mounted accessories installed in the receiver when they're not being used. Applying some grease to the shank of the hitch accessory and the shank of the adapter will go a long way toward preventing this from occurring, but I'd...

Currently the 2" Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94WR is the only size Curt offers for your 2023 Hyundai Tucson. You will be able to use their Reducer # C45770 which will allow you to use your existing 1-1/4" accessories. We do not have any other size receivers from our other manufacturers. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR will give you a 4-way flat connector.

view full answer... - How To Reduce Rattle When Using a 2 Inch to 1-1/4 Inch Reducer with Bike RackI do have an option for you but all of the reducer sleeves like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45770 are going to be problematic in regards to excess slop at the connection point. However, what you can do to avoid this is use an anti-rattle device. The best anti-rattle devices we have are the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle devices which can be used for both the hitch reducer, and your 1-1/4" accessories. For the 2" side of the reducer you can use part # RM-061 and for the 1-1/4"...

I do, however, still recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver 2" # 13545 for your Veracruz. In order to have a 1-1/4" receiver you simply need an adapter. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770 for your needs. This will allow you to use any 1-1/4" accessories you may have. I have attached a video review of the adapter for your...

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...

In some cases, a reducer will also provide some extension, thus increasing the distance between the vehicle hitch and the hitch mounted accessory, such as the Curt # C45770. Because that distance is increased, the capacity (both towing and tongue...

Yakima did make a replacement 2" adapter for the DoubleDown, but it has been discontinued. Although this will not work for your bike rack I do have a solution. The best way to use your 1-1/4" accessories on your 2" hitch is with a hitch reducer like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" (Class III) to 1-1/4" - 4" Long # C45770. Keep in mind, the use of this adapter...

There is an extra hole on one side in case you decide to use the optional Tow Ready # 63201 J-pin lock set and anti-rattle device instead of a standard hitch pin. While I am not right there to see the issue, I suppose it is also possible that your bike rack has a 1-1/4" square shaft that you are trying to put in a 2" receiver. Most 1-1/4" bike racks come with an adapter for 2" receivers. If yours does not you could...
