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.
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.
Adapts a compatible 2-1/2" vehicle receiver for use with compatible 2"-shank accessories.
Provides 7" center-to-center spacing between the hitch pin holes for added accessory clearance.
Rated for up to 350 lb in a correctly matched non-towing application, subject to the lower-rated component.
The powder-coated finish helps protect the adapter from corrosion and routine road exposure.
Suitable for compatible bike racks, cargo carriers and similar hitch-mounted accessories.
The stated 2-1/2" pin-hole distance from the flange helps position the adapter within a compatible receiver.
