The best 1-1/4 inch hitch to 2 inch hitch adapter we have is the part # HTAD that you referenced which is Class I hitch compatible.

Answer 1

There are several different classes of 1-1/4-inch hitches offered for the Subaru Forester. Without knowing the vehicle's model year I cannot be absolutely sure if the hitch on the vehicle is a light-duty Class I type or a higher capacity…

Due to the design of the 2021 Chevy TrailBlazer the only way to install a hitch like the #C94UR would be by removing the rear bumper cover and beam since that just happens to be the only safe and strong enough location for the hitch to mount. There…

One of the most popular hitch adapters that we have is the Brophy Adapter #HTAD. This will convert your 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver, but keep in mind that this or any other adapter like it will reduce the Tongue Weight (TW) of your…

I have a solution for you. You can't convert the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack #TH23JV to a 2 inch hitch according to my contact at Thule so you will need to use an adapter. I recommend using the Brophy Hitch Reducer 2" to…

Answer 5

An extender will reduce the capacity of the hitch, not your bike rack, by 50 percent. Your hitch is rated at 200 pounds maximum tongue weight, if you were to use an extender, your tongue weight capacity would be reduced to 100 pounds. Subtract 55…

Answer 6

Twelve pounds over is pretty close, and we don't usually factor in the weight of the adapter #HTAD. Considering those facts, if you were to take the seats off of the bikes to reduce the weight even more then you would likely be right at that 100…

As long as your Thule T2 Pro XTR is only for use in a 2" hitch, like the #TH83JV, the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender #Y02483 will work perfectly. However, if your T2 Pro uses a 2" adapter on a 1-1/4" shank, like the…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

Answer 10

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

Answer 11

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Answer 12

Yep, so long as your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is not a hybrid both the Curt and etrailer hitches will fit: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13382 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e98912 The only difference besides price is the finish; the…
