This SuperTruss hitch extender is specially designed to work with your SuperHitch trailer hitch (sold separately). Like most products from TorkLift, the primary purpose of this extender is to help create a towing setup that fits perfectly with your truck bed camper system. Not only will you be able to extend your trailer hitch receiver out far enough to clear the overhang of your camper, but you will also maintain a high enough weight capacity so that you can tow your trailer.
Heavy-Duty Towing with a Hitch Extension
Most hitch extensions dramatically reduce the towing capacity of your hitch setup, making it difficult to tow a loaded trailer over a certain weight. The SuperTruss, though, creates such a sturdy connection with your SuperHitch trailer hitch that you can still maintain a high weight capacity. To get the highest capacity possible, use a standard weight distribution system with the TorkLift towing setup.
The SuperTruss uses both of the receivers on your TorkLift SuperHitch to ensure a sturdy, secure connection. The solid shank of the extension's top tube slides into your top receiver, and the extension's lower compression tube installs in your bottom receiver. Each tube is held in place with the hitch pins and clips that were included with your SuperHitch. The connection between the extension and your hitch is reinforced with 2 sturdy steel collars that bolt around the tubes of the SuperTruss.
To give you absolute peace of mind, lateral support chains connect to the hitch and the extension on either side of your setup. Just attach one end of each chain to the extension and secure the opposite end to your SuperHitch. Then tighten the chains with the integrated turnbuckles. These chains not only provide extra security to keep the extension in place in your hitch, but they also transfer some of the weight back from the extension to your frame-mounted hitch.
How to Determine the SuperTruss Length You Need
If the camper is mounted on the truck:
Measure from the face of the truck's rear bumper to the outside edge of the camper's bumper. This is the length of the extension that you need.
If the camper is not mounted on the truck:
1. Measure from the inside of the front of your truck bed to the outside face of the truck's rear bumper.
2. Measure the camper's overall floor length from the rubber bumpers at the front to the outside edge of the rear bumper.
3. Find the difference between these 2 figures by subtracting. The difference is the length of the extension that you need.

We have been using Torklift superhitch and supertruss extension since 2010 hauling horses around the US. This extension and superhitch went on our new truck. We hauled trouble and worry free for 10,000 miles this year. Best product on the market.

Super Truss arrived well packaged. Assembly instructions were easy to follow.
by: Richard 09/16/2022
My second SuperTruss . We changed to a longer camper so needed a longer extension.
Tongue weight for our trailer exceeds 500lbs so the SuperTruss is the only hitch extension I would trust. Like all torklift products they are built for a lifetime.
E-Trailers not a bad outfit to deal with either , great customer service.
by: Stacy09/30/2019
Excellent product i am very happy with it. Installed it myself and it took a few hours. Definitely remove the spare tire its much easier that way. And check for all mounting hardware as i was missing (5) 1/2 inch flat washers. That was an inconvenience but im still very happy with the prodct. Im using this product and the 42 inch supertruss to haul my 23 foot boat behind my lance camper. So far it all works flawlessly and i couldn't be happier with my purchase.
by: Stan03/12/2022
We have ordered twice over the last couple of weeks from etrailer and have had great service. The products have been top line products and easy to install. I have had orders from the same state where I live take longer to receive than the items from across the other side of US from etrailer. I have talked to several different people at etrailer and each was very professional and I received accurate information each time. If you need anything for a truck or trailer you should give etrailer a try it you will be very happy you did.
I would supply photos but all of the items I purchased was for under the truck to haul my trailer so no photos.
Thanks for all your help, Stan

this hitch extension is phenomenal. This was the perfect extension for my application and is beefy as all get out. The hitch arrived in 2 days after it shipped. The packaging was in good shape, and all worked as planned. I have total confidence in the capability of this hitch extension. Thanks for really making a product of quality- Rare these days.

- Recommended Hitch Extender For Towing Boat Trailer With 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD W/ In-Bed CamperI have another option for you, but the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension - 3" Ford Super Duty Factory Hitch - 48" Long # TLE1648 you were looking at is only a fit for the factory 3" trailer hitch receivers on a 2017 or newer Ford Super Duty Pickup. For your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD New Body style with the 8' Bed you will need to replace you factory trailer hitch receiver with the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - Dual 2" Receivers # TLC1205...

For the new trailer hitch receiver you will need the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLF1008-30 which has a 20000lb max trailer rating and 2500lb max tongue weight rating, but those numbers get bumped to 30000lbs max trailer rating and 3000lb max tongue weight rating when using weight distribution. Now the reason you need the new hitch is to be able to use the...

The Torklift Hitch # TLF1002-30 is a dual receiver having both a 2-1/2 inch hitch and a 2 inch hitch. It has a bolt on installation with no welding required. The hitch has a black powder coat finish that helps resist corrosion....

The top of the Curt receiver will be 8-1/2 inches from the bottom of the frame where it attaches. I confirmed this with my tech contact at Curt and have also attached a video to assist. Use of a custom extender is required for this combination. The torque of a long extension will drastically impact the trailer hitch receiver. A better...

I can not think of a better option then the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch item # TL74FR. You will be able to pull anything and everything with this hitch and it gives you the most options for capacity on extensions.

This hitch will allow you to use the TorkLift SuperTruss to give you the additional clearance needed for your trailer to clear your in-bed camper. The TorkLift SuperTruss is available in a few different lengths which are as follows: 21" # TLE1521 28" # TLE1528 36" # TLE1536 42" # TLE1542 48"...

In order to use an extender that long we'll need to get the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLD1108-30 installed on your 2017 Ram 3500 Dually. This then enables you to use the 42" TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension # TLE1542 which installs in both the TorkLift and your OEM receivers. There are some shorter extenders you can use with a single receiver, but for the extension you're needing you need the TorkLift setup. Then for a weight distribution system...

According to my research, the 2015 Ford Super Duty only comes with a 2-1/2" receiver tube so it does not appear that the TorkLift Cannon Hitch Extension will work for you. Instead, you would want to consider the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer part # C45048 which measures 34" from hitch pin to hitch pin and has a 6,000 lb weight capacity...

To get the 41" - 45" extension you are needing you will need to replace your factory trailer hitch receiver with the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" and 2" # TLF1002-30...

The reason for this is because it allows you to use a TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension like part # TLE1542 which will most likely be needed for clearance because of the truck bed camper. In order to add a 7-way to your F-250 you will want to use the 7-Way Pre-Wired Pigtail part # 20024. This...

This combination will push the hitch ball out 31-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Ram, which will put it 2-1/4" behind the bumper on your camper, and has a 350lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating.

This extra long ball mount will allow you to put the hitch ball center 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver. This is rated for 10,000 lbs. I recommend the # 63845 for a 2 inch hitch ball or # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
