Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (66 Customer Reviews)

I had to remove burrs from the inside of the tube, both at the holes drilled (for hitch pin) and the end where the ball hitch goes in. The welded boss on the end of the tube had burs left over from the cutoff operation. The ball hitch would only slide in a couple of inches prior to deburring it. Also the packaging was not very good, see pictures. No damage to the product but I am surprised it even stayed in the box during the trip here, it was completely loose in the box and tore it apart during transport.
by: Tracy Druce11/07/2023
The product is good the packaging for shipping needs improvement. The box came ripped in half and only the tape on the bottom of the box was holding the box together. The plastic cap for the one end was broken and unusable. The other end had a dent in the metal that had to be filled down to be able to insert it into the receiver. The bracket for the plug extension to mount into the hitch extension was bent together so it had to be bent back straight. This was to be able to insert the plug and line up the 4 holes to be able to mount the receiver plug to the extension.
by: Josh10/18/2023
Have not had a chance to use the hitch extension as of yet but I am sure it will perform as designed. My disappointment is in the following areas: 1) The packaging was very thin and flimsy. Came torn to pieces and it is a miracle the part was not damaged more severely. 2) The harness bracket was bent and I had to bend it back into position 3) The company logo on the end of the hitch is supposed to be a cool chrome piece. It is shiny plastic and is the only thing that is not beefy on the part. I can’t wait for it to break off and just have black steel showing. Think the tool is what I will need and it is what was advertised, just disappointed in the things that were mentioned above.

I bought this to haul a trailer behind my truck with the truck camper in the bed. I had to cut it down a bit, but that was no problem - sawzall did the trick. My camper is the length of the bed with the tailgate down and I haul a 6,000lb enclosed trailer with gear.The truck is a 2020 GMC 2500 at4. This hitch has held up well. The only issue with the enclosed trailer is tight turns can hit. Hope this review helps someone.
by: David 07/28/2023
Solid built as are all Reese products, allows us to tow a trailer with our Lance 975 truck camper in the bed. The camper has an extended deck on it.
by: Jeff02/09/2023
Had to cut off about 1/2 inch as it hit my spare tire on the other side of my 2.5 in hitch receiver on my hd3500. Also you should recommend along with this product the appropriate 7 blade female adapter that fits into the 2 inch receiver side of the extender. I need a female side with or without pre-wiring that I can hook into item e99001. Now I can extend to my trailer 7 blade male plugin.

Delivered in a timely manner! Exactly as described! Great product! Super heavy Duty! Great web site! Very easy to use!

Haven't used it yet but looks like just what I need. Thanks Quinn for all your help !!
by: Bob B.06/20/2013
I'm very happy with the hitch extension bar, the product arrived on time in excellent condition and there were no complications with the seller. I did decide to add support chains at 45 degrees going back to the hitch because I was uncomfortable with the lateral movement. That decision added about $50 to my final installation cost but now I am very comfortable with the set up.

I have only had one opportunity to use the hitch extender but I have no regrets purchasing it. I am certain it will come in handy sometimes.
by: Kevin07/09/2015
A great heavy duty extension just what I needed for the pickup when the camper is on. The service at eTrailer was great. There was a slight mix up in the billing versus shipping information. eTrailer called me got it taken care of and the product arrived with in a few days of the order.

After a year of use I am still satisfied with the heavy duty extension.
by: Richard E.07/25/2017
I bought this to extend the receiver on my F350SD 4x4 diesel SRW out to the bumper of my Alpenlite Camper. I like that it tapers to a 2x2 receiver at the trailer end, so I can use my 2x2 hitch bar to haul a light kayak trailer. It looks to be heavily constructed and should meet my needs since the largest trailer I will haul is a 5400#(fully loaded) Lance 1685 Travel trailer with a tongue weight of 500 pounds. I use an adjustable WD hitch with a only enough tension to level the trailer and smooth the ride.
"The extension did not fit a new Curt 2 1/2" receiver, both fresh out of the box. This is contrary to this comment "Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # C15809 will fit your 2011 Dodge Ram 3500. As far as the Titan extension, # RP45018 or # RP45292, I have tested these extensions in a Curt hitch with the 2-1/2 inch receiver and found that it will fit. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the trailer hitch."
The problem appears to be with the extension, not the Curt hitch, because a 2 1/2 to 2" reducer fits the Curt hitch in a typical fashion, easily inserted. I was able to fit it to the hitch by grinding off the paint and easing the corners a little.
by: Armas04/10/2015
Fits fine now, but had some installation issues on my 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Out of the box at full extension it fit my truck fine. Once I cut it down to the 24" length at the factory marking it was too long and interfered with the spare tire. I cut an additional 1/2" and it went in with clearance for the tire. Then I found the hole for the hitch pin was crooked. Too high on one side and low on the other. Half an hour with a Dremel and all was OK.
The bracket for the wiring is excellent.
I haven't towed with it yet but it appears solid and I expect it will do the job.
by: Mick V05/11/2015
Good fit...had to trim 1.5 inch's to allow for the spare tire on the Chevy 2500 HD. Only problem is the pin hole does not line up with the holes in the hitch....so will have to use a dremel tool to trim some metal away from the existing pin hole on the extension. One other comment, I wish the raise on the ball end of the extension was 4 inchs higher.... It is low to the ground, I am concerned I will have clearance problems with some driveways at gas stations, with the welded skid plate on the extension dragging....
by: Mike 04/18/2019
Been using this extension for about a year. Made several long trips pulling my boat which has a 730lbs tongue weight. I added side turn buckles to add side to side strength.
by: Shane E10/21/2021
Well made, high quality. I initially installed it without support chains and turnbuckles. Even in that configuration it was rock solid. I've since installed the turnbuckles as seen in the pictures (I got the turnbuckles from etrailer.com also). A small issue with the product - I had to cut approximately 1" off of the extension to use it "at full length" due to the positioning of the pin hole; the extension hit my spare tire. Not a big deal to cut it, which brings me to my second issue - in the video they say to cut it with a hacksaw. This thing is made from hard, thick steel and I would not recommend nor envy the person who has to cut it with a hacksaw; get a metal cut-off wheel for your angle grinder.
by: Jack N.05/24/2015
the home made extension that came with the 11.5 ft camper was to springy I used a 2 and 1/2 ft. 2"x2" extension between my receiver and the Titan extension this gave me the support I needed to haul my 16ft. boat behind my camper. the service and shiping was fast and great.
by: Keith07/26/2018
I received and installed this hitch extension. The service from etrailer was very prompt and I am well pleased with their service. The fit to my Ford F350 was fine and the holes lined up to my receiver. It does however, butt right up against the spare tire through the receiver with no room for error. it could use a little more spacing but I am well pleased with the quality and finish.
by: Glen12/21/2021
The tube has to be shortened 1" to fit stock 2021 F250 receiver hitch otherwise end hits full size spare tire.

I use this hitch extension to pull a 23 foot Center console boat behind my slide in truck camper. I have never had a problem with this hitch extension it is excellent.
by: David 09/22/2018
I needed this hitch extension due to my truck camper overhang. We are hauling a u-haul cargo trailer. It shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in perfect condition. I had to shorten the length to 24" and used Etrailer suggestions on how to cut the pipe. Thank you Etrailer.
by: Dennis10/09/2021
Good value. Strong and just what I needed. Required cutting an inch off the butt for it to seat deep enough in my RAM 3500 factory receiver. Also required grinding out the corners of the receptacle to insert hitches. Not perfect but I'd buy it again.
by: Jim C.04/26/2012
Part came double boxed and was shipped on the day I order it. I have a 2011 Chev 3500 HD, crew cab, short box and I had to cut off 1 1/2 inches from the back of the hitch, because it hit my spare tire. Might be a Chevy thing.
by: Red G10/20/2021
I haven't had the chance to use this Extension on my truck yet, but it looks like it is going to work great!! etrailer went above my expectations and supplied a part the was broken during shipment. Extremely pleased with etrailer, they also meet my expectations and then some!

- Can Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2 Trailer Hitches be Cut DownThe Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # C45048 and the similar Reese Hitch Box Extension and Reducer # RP45292 can only be cut down to 24" and not 28". These have only been tested at those lengths and there hitch pin holes on each are oriented in a manner that other lengths would not be realistically achievable. If you need the added distance, so long as you stay within the 450 lb tongue weight capacity and 4,500 lb towing capacity with the Curt # C45048 at its...
view full answer... - Hitch Extender Needed That is at Least 8 inches Long and Rated for 8,000 lbsThe shortest hitch extender that we have which is compatible with a 2-1/2 inch receiver on your tow vehicle is the Hitch Box Extension and Reducer # RP45292. It has an adjustable length of 24" - 34", reduces the receiver to a 2" x 2" opening, and is rated for 8,000 lbs when used with a Weight Distribution system. Your only other option would be the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 which is rated for 10,000 lbs with a Weight Distribution system, but it is only 7 inches long.

The measurements are from hitch pin hole center to hitch pin hole center. We measure this way because the hitch receiver can have different dimensions from the hitch pin hole to the end...

This extension requires your truck to be equipped with a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver and is designed to extend the receiver opening 24 or 34 inches away from the truck. At 24 inches the extender has a weight capacity of 6,000 pounds and at 34 inches, 4,500 pounds. The longest extension/ball mount that will work with a standard 2-inch hitch is our Hidden Hitch Extra...

Since your 2021 Ram 3500 Long Bed has a factory 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Hitch Box Extension and Reducer for Titan 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, 24" - 34" Long # RP45292. When used in the 24" extension length like you are needing it has a 6000lb trailer weight rating, and 600lb tongue weight rating which will be perfect for you as long as your boat does not exceed these ratings. If it is slightly over 6000lbs or 600lbs tongue weight...

If you have a Titan 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your truck the Titan Hitch Box Extension, item # RP45292, will be able to tow a trailer up to 4,500 pounds gross weight with 450 pounds of tongue weight when used at 34 inches. You will need a 2 inch ball mount (see link) with a properly sized ball to insert in the receiver end of the Titan hitch extension.
view full answer... - Best Hitch Extender Option Recommendation for 7,000 lb Trailer for 2-1/2 inch HitchBest solution we have would be to cut down a longer 2-1/2 inch hitch extender part # RP45292 to 24 inches and hopefully the extra length won't be an issue. We don't have a way to get you exactly 16 inches unfortunately. With weight distribution at 24 inches of length this extender has a capacity of 8,000 lbs which would be enough for you.
view full answer... - Hitch Extender Recommendation for 2-1/2 inch Hitch that Needs at least 18 inchesThe best solution we would be the Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45292 which can be cut down to 24 inches in length. When used in the 24 inch length it has a 6,000 lb trailer weight capacity or 8,000 lbs if you use it with a weight distribution system.

The Reese extension can be cut down to a 24 inch length. At the full 34 inch length, it has a 4500 weight carrying/6000 lb weight distribution capacity. At the 24 inch length, that capacity increases to 6,000 lbs weight carrying/8,000 lbs with weight distribution. I've linked to a description video for the # RP45292 extender, as well as...

These will allow you to plug into the 7-way on your truck and go back to the mount on the Extension. If you have a Slide In Camper that needs to connect to the 7-Way as well the 21"-28" TorkLift Wiring Extension # TLW6524 or 32"-36" TorkLift Wiring Extension # TLW6532 can be used as it has a 2nd port for...

- Can I Haul 6,000 lbs With My 2020 Ram 3500 When Using The 34 Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45292?In order for this to work, you will need a weight distribution system like this one # FA92-00-0800 to use with your hitch adapter # RP45018. Now, with the weight distribution system you can have a Maximum GTW of 6,000 lbs at 34". This is perfect for hauling your side by side and enclosed trailer.
view full answer... - Availability of Longer Hitch Extender for Help Backing Jet Ski Trailer into WaterThe # C49480 isn't a hitch extender. It's actually just a 48 inch long hitch tube for fabrication purposes. If you had a 2-1/2 inch hitch the Reese extender part # RP45292 is 34 inches long and might work well for you.
view full answer... - Hitch Extenders for a Factory Installed Class IV Hitch on a Dodge Ram 2500The Reese Titan Hitch Extender, part # RP45292, is for use with Class V Titan hitches that measure 2-1/2 inches square. I have included a link to the extensions for 2 inch Class III and Class IV hitches. Please note, using an extender will reduce your hitch capacity by 50 percent.
view full answer... - Recommended High Capacity Hitch and Extension for 2012 Ford F350 With Slide In CamperIn order to get the extension you're needing and retain the necessary capacity, your best bet will be to replace your existing hitch, as you mentioned, the Draw-Tite # DT45508 would be a good choice along with the Draw-Tite # RP45292 hitch extension. If the extension is cut down to the 24 inch length, it'll have a 6K capacity, or 8K with weight distribution. If the extension is left at its 34 inch out of box length, the capacity will be 4500 lbs or 6000 lbs if used with weight distribution....
view full answer... - Will the Amount of Titan Hitch Extender in Receiver Affect the Capacity on a 2012 Chevy SilveradoActually, since the maximum amount of the extension # RP45292 would be in the receiver based on the measurements you have provided, you will not see a drop of capacity on the extension. On a 2-1/2 inch receiver, it would be rare to see any drop of capacity even if using an extension because the 2-1/2 inchers are so robust.

While the Torklift Cannon Hitch Extension part # TLE1648 won't work as it's too big for your truck we have the Titan Extender part # RP45292 which fits your hitch size and can be used at 24-34 inches.

Aside from having a much better price the Curt will function the exact same as the Reese for all intents and purposes.

- Trailer Hitch and Extension Recommendation for 1998 3500 Dually for Towing with Truck Bed CamperFor an extension as long as you need you would need to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your 1998 Chevy 3500 like the Draw Tite part # DT45506 so that you can use a Titan Extender part # RP45292.

You can use a metal file to remove small burrs. If you do be sure to touch up the area with a rust resistant paint.
