Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt Extender for 2" Receivers part # C45796 can be used for towing but they do reduce your weight capacity but 50%. If you give me more info on what you are trying to do I may have other options for you but I typically recommend using a ball mount with long shank instead, the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount part # BM20 for example as this will not limit your capacity beyond the 10,000 lb rating.
