Using a Hitch Reducer Sleeve with a Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Question:

Will the Swagman Dispatch 2 bike platform rack S44FR work on a truck with a 2.5inch receiver and 2inch receiver adapter?

The Swagman Dispatch 2, part # S44FR will work with a 2.5 inch receiver equipped with a reducer sleeve to correctly fit the Dispatch's natural shank. The locking anti-rattle hitch pin that's included with the Dispatch has a usable length of 4.5 inches, so it's long enough to fit a 2.5 inch receiver.

You could use the universal Curt Receiver Reducer, part # C45405 to accomplish the same end goal.

I have included our video review of both hitches so you can compare them for yourself.
