Can a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Mount Accessory be Used on a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch on a 2011 Toyota Camry
Question:
Is there a way to adapt my 2 hitch haul for use on a class II trailer hitch?
asked by: Matt D
Expert Reply:
It is possible to use your 2 inch accessories in a class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. You would have to use a hitch expander, 1-1/4 to 2 inch. However, the use of an expander will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent.
It appears that the vast majority of trailer hitches for a 2011 Toyota Camry have a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. When using an expander, like # 80303, that capacity will be cut down to 150 pounds. This means that the weight of any accessory and its contents cannot exceed 150 pounds or damage to the hitch, the accessory, the cargo, and the vehicle can occur.
Additionally, when using Curt Trailer Hitch, # 12343, Curt states that a stabilization strap, like # 18050, be used to support any non-trailer load to be in compliance with their warranty requirements.
