Hitch Extender # e88YR use on a Ford F150

Question:

I have an Arctic Fox 2004, model 22GQ trailer that I want to tow with my F150 Pickup. I am using an eazlift hitch with anti-sway attachments on the trailer. Problem: I cant the truck tailgate because the distance between the trailer hitch stand crank and the truck is too short, by about 3-4. Will a hitch extender solve my problem? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

A hitch extender will give you more clearance from your Ford F150 to your trailer. You will want to keep in mind that when you use a hitch extender you cut the towing capacity of the hitch that is on your truck in half because of the increase in torque that will be on your hitch due to the increased leverage the weight of your trailer will have on your hitch.

I attached an FAQ page on hitch extenders for you to check out.
