36 Inch SuperTruss Hitch Extender and Wiring Extension For TorkLift SuperHitch

Question

Question:

Hi, I need to get a hitch extension setup for my truck and truck camper. Ive measured from the back of my super hitch to the back of my bumper and it is 36 in. I will also need a seven-pin wide adapter and extension. Can you please tell me the part numbers I will need? Thanks!

To ensure that you actually need a 36 inch extender, and not something a little longer or shorter, TorkLift recommends taking the following measurement:

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.

For a 36 inch extension in your TorkLift Super Hitch, I'd recommend their SuperTruss Hitch Extension, part
# TLE1536. To extend your 7-way wiring, use the # TLW6036 extension. The extension includes a 7-way mounting bracket to you can mount the 7-way socket to the SuperTruss.

If you find you actually need a different length, the next smaller size for each item is the 32 inch # TLE1532 extender and the # TLW6032 wiring extension. The next longest is the 42 inch # TLE1542 and the # TLW6042 wiring extension.

I've linked to product demonstration videos for the SuperTruss and for the wring extension.
