Top Features

Feature Buyer Benefit
Receiver Reduction Allows compatible 2" accessories to be used with a 2-1/2" receiver
Added Extension Provides additional space between the vehicle and the mounted accessory
350 lb Rating Supports compatible non-towing accessories within the reduced system capacity
Powder-Coated Finish Helps resist corrosion and ordinary road exposure


Important Safety and Fitment Note: This reducer/extender is designed specifically for non-towing applications. Do not use it to tow a trailer. Use of the extender reduces the hitch receiver’s published capacity by 50%. Never exceed the adapter’s 350 lb maximum tongue-weight rating or the reduced rating of the vehicle, receiver or accessory—whichever is lowest. Include the weight of the carrier or rack when calculating the total load.

R&P Knowledge Hub

What It Changes: The adapter reduces a compatible 2-1/2" receiver opening to accept accessories with a 2" shank.

Why the Extension Matters: Additional clearance can help position a bike rack or cargo carrier farther from a bumper, spare tire or vehicle body.

Capacity Calculation: Begin with the vehicle and receiver manufacturer’s published ratings, reduce the receiver rating by 50%, and then compare that result with the adapter’s 350 lb maximum and the accessory’s own rating.

Before Installation: Confirm that both pin holes align completely and that the accessory clears the vehicle through its full range of intended movement.
