Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Pivot 2 swing away base.

Roadmaster High Low Adapter for Tow Bars Review

Hey everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be checking out the Roadmaster High Low Adapter for Tow Bars. And the whole reason that you might need one of these is really just going to be dependent on how high or low your motor home and your towed vehicle sit in comparison to each other. And in our case, a lot of cases, the motor home or coach is going to be up much higher than your towed vehicle. So by using this in the drop position, it's gonna lower the attachment point down here for our tow bar, keeping it nice and level, that way it can perform properly and won't prematurely wear out other components, so on and so forth. Now these are available in quite a few different sizes, you know, as far as the rise and drop goes. more

This hitch extender extends your two-inch hitch receiver opening out from the rear of your vehicle to avoid obstacles such as a rear mounted spare tire. The two pin holes are going to let you choose between seven inches or nine inches of extra length. It also provides a 2 1/4 inch drop for trucks with a tailgate or a rise for ground clearance over steep driveways and uneven terrain. more

So, you have a two inch hitch, but you have a 1 1/4" accessory for that hitch. Well, etrailer designed a couple of different reducers, to reduce your two inch down to 1 1/4" so you can use those accessories. All of our reducers are going to be a hollow shank, so we can put an anti-rattle device on the inside of there, if we wanted to. But this is the longest one of all of them. So, from the center of each hole the distance is seven inches, so that's the amount you're going to extend off, but you're also gonna reduce it as well. The distance from the center of the hitch-side hole to the edge is gonna be 2 3/8". more

Sometimes we need a little bit of help to get that accessory exactly where we want it on our vehicle. And then, other times, too, we have a two inch accessory and we only have an inch and a quarter hitch. So that's why we designed this. This is gonna convert it from your inch and a quarter hitch to a two inch and it is also gonna give us a little bit more distance between our bumper and our accessory. And, we can use it as a rise or drop. It just goes in like any other accessory. more

etrailer Trailer Hitch Reducer And Extender Review

It's always nice to be able to use your accessories for a two inch hitch on your 2 1/2 inch hitch. So what we have right here is an adapter, so it's gonna go in your 2 1/2 inch hitch and convert it to a two inch, so you can use those accessories, but this isn't just an adapter, it's also an extender. So to go over a couple different measurements here, the overall length of it is gonna be 12 inches, the distance between these two holes is gonna be seven inches, and then from each hole to the end is gonna be 2 1/2 and 2 1/2. So with any type of extension, we are going to cut the capacity of our hitch in half. Even though this hitch is rated for quite a lot of weight, we also have to take into consideration the weakest link of the whole entire setup, which in this case, on this truck, it's gonna be the extension, so it's gonna have a max tongue weight of 350 pounds. This isn't something that you're gonna wanna haul with, just because 350 pounds of tongue weight isn't a whole lot, but I guess if you did have a Malone lightweight aluminum trailer for your kayak or something, if the weights all line up, you can use it for something like that, but I really don't think that's exactly what this is for. more

etrailer 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve Review

So you have a 2 1/2 inch hitch receiver, but you have some two inch accessories you'd like to use like a bike rack or even maybe just a ball mount. Well, etrailer's got you covered, we designed a sleeve that is gonna help us convert it over from 2 1/2 to two inches, so you can use your favorite accessories. To make sure this is gonna work with your vehicle and your accessory, here are some measurements. Overall, the length is 5 1/2 inches, but then, on the longer side, from the center of the hitch pin hole to the receiver side right here, is gonna be three inches, then on the other side, from the center to the end, which is the accessory side, is gonna be 2 1/2 inches. I have noticed that it's a little bit easier to get everything all lined up if we just line it up on our accessory and then put these both in together. You just put it in just like any other accessory, but with a little bit more gentleness just to make sure that those holes continue to line up. more

So you got a new truck and it has a 3 inch hitch receiver but a lot of your accessories are either 2 1/2 inch or 2 inch. Well etrailer designed a sleeve so you can convert that 3 inch hitch receiver down to a 2 1/2 , or use them both together and convert it all the way down from 3 inches down to 2. To make sure that this is gonna work for you either the 2 1/2 sleeve or the 2 inch sleeve, the distance from your accessory to the center of its hitch pin hole, just make sure that it's around 2 1/2 inches, 'cause that's our measurement right here. And then from the hitch receiver side to the center of the hitch pin hole, it's gonna be 3 3/16 of an inch. So just make sure that you have enough room inside your hitch receiver so it doesn't hit your spare tire or anything like that. And the overall length of the whole entire thing, which is both sleeves, is about 6 5/16 of an inch. more

So, you can use those accessories. The one we're looking at today is the one in the middle. It's not the longest and it's not the shortest one, but it's gonna give us about four and 3/8 of extension, along with reducing. So, that's the measurement from the center of this hole to the center of the other pinhole. more
