Hitch Extender Recommendation for Towing a 3,500 lb Trailer

Question:

Hello, Im looking for a hitch extender to pull a trailer approx. 3500 lbs. I have a hitch capable of 12k but I do need an extender. Can you recommend one with a hight tongue weight? Thanks!

Hey Rhett, thanks for reaching out!

I recommend picking up the 14" Long Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches # GY89SR because it has been rated for up to a 10,000 lb trailer and has an impressive tongue weight rating of 500 lbs.

Please note that this is for use with a 2" receiver and it will cut the towing and tongue weight of your hitch receiver in half so be sure to remain under that when using this extender.
