R&P Service Insight
A hitch extender changes the leverage placed on the receiver hitch. The limiting factor is the capacity of the hitch on the tow vehicle, not only the construction of the extender.
- Receiver Size: Confirm the tow vehicle uses a 2" receiver tube.
- Extension Length: The 14" length is measured center to center of hitch pin holes.
- Capacity Check: Using a 2" hitch extender will reduce the hitch's overall capacity by 1/3.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Fits 2" receiver tube applications.

Capacity Insight: The listed 2" receiver load rating is GVW 3500 lb with 350 lb tongue weight. With weight distribution hitch, the listed rating is GVW 7000 lb with 700 lb tongue weight.

- Weight Distribution: With weight distribution hitch, the listing states GVW 7000 lb and 700 lb tongue rating.
