Hitch Extender of at Least 13 Inches For 2 Inch Hitch
Question:
My new 2023 defender has the spare tire on the back and the electronic jack won’t let me open the back. Can I get a longer hitch that is 13 inches long from receiver to the center of the ball

Expert Reply:
We can do that, and what you can do is just get a hitch extender, though keep in mind that an extender will reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. Assuming that's okay, we have a 14 inch extender you can use, and you'll also need a lock to secure it to your hitch:
