Recommended Hitch Extender For 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Question:

Hi, looking for a short extender. the connection on the 21 jeep is further back that my 18 jeep was and my hitch cover does not fit... looking for like a 2 or 3. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have a few options that may work, but the shortest hitch extender we have is the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7" # HE06 which is 7" long. Keep in mind that using any hitch adapter like the # HE06 will reduce the capacities of your receiver by 50%.

The option I recommend is replacing your receiver with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98856 which has a 9" receiver that is 3" longer than the standard receiver to give you the additional clearance you are looking for, without reducing the capacities of the receiver or needing an adapter.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
