Use your 2" hitch-mounted accessories with your 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch and extend your trailer hitch receiver opening with the same piece. Sturdy, black powder coated steel construction.We were looking for a solution to haul our utv when pulling our camper. This extender allowed us to leave the tailgate down and still have enough clearance to not damage the tailgate. Downside--this extender amplifies the amount of movement with the hitch. This is more than a simple hitch clamp could fix. I added several modifications to completely eliminate the hitch movement. We have taken several trips since the installation and no issues with pulling the trailer. We did have to extend the safety chains about 4 links. Overall a good product and it accomplished the goal. As always,etrailer personnel are knowledgeable, easy to deal with and have quick shipments.
Works as it should and I didn't have to turn my power jack on my camper 90 degrees to miss the tailgate when it is lowered!!

It has been holding up very well and I would recommend it to any one.
My delivery package was ripped open and the contents missing thanks to USPS. The courier should have never deliverd the package in that condition. When I called etrailer customer service I could not have asked for a more responsive solution. Carol immediately asked if I wanted them to send out another order at no additional charge and I agreed. I also asked her if she would ship using a different carrier and she said that would be no problem. I promptly recieved my second package undamaged with the contents safe inside. I am extremely satisfied with the product and I cannot say enough for the excellent customer service I recieved. I would definetly recommend etrailer to anyone and I will be using them again in the future.
My truck has a 2-1/2" receiver. I already owned a heavy duty 2" hitch. This 2" reducer & extender was perfect for my use. I used it to tow a rental trailer and needed to extend my receiver to allow me to tow with the tailgate down. This reducer/extender did the trick. I had plenty of room making tight u-turns.
The quality of the product is very good. I would recommend this product to others.
I ordered this hitch extender because my new 2024 Vexus VX21 bass boat has a ladder installed on the trailer. If you back up too sharp in one direction you will push step 2 clean through your truck rear bumper on the right side. I have problems with co-angles not listening to me and not focusing when backing my boat into and taking out of a ramp. This Brophy Hitch Extender was the perfect solution and it is exceptionally well constructed. Thank you as this now gives me piece of mind that my bumper will not be destroyed.
Great advice on what I was looking for - easy site to complete order - installation instructions were simpler to follow - delivery was within 24 hours of order! Great job!
Great to deal with. The first package delivered by USPS was empty with a big hole in the box. Called Etrailer and they immediately sent my ordered item by UPS. Outstanding service! I will definitely buy from them again.
Perfect fit, needed extension to insure boat trailer steps would clear tailgate and bumper of my Truck when towing boat. Worked out great. Fast shipping from etrailer prevented me from missing out on fishing trip. Great service, thanks etrailer.
The hitch adapter solved my problem of hitting my tail gate while making sharp turns.
I purchased this to use on my 2500HD to transition from the factory 2.5" receiver to a 2" so that we could use a Yakima hitch mounted bike rack. With the length of the tube, it also provides the perfect amount of clearance from the back of the truck so that I can lower the tailgate without it hitting the upright on the bike rack. Great product and always pleased with etrailer's customer service!
Reducer/extender was thrown into a box ,no padding. Broke through box during delivery. Luckily my postal carrier put 2 and 2 together and I got it. Pretty disappointing from etrailer.
Fast delivery, solid gear. This is not only a 7" extension, but an adapter from 2 1/2" to 2" receiver to use equipment that I already have such as bike carrier and vise insert. Works great! I opted for the heavier version (why not) in case I needed to tow a small trailer. As always, very pleased with etrailer and their support.
Heavy duty, finish has held up well to 1yr of consistent use and I'm happy with the purchase.
Lowed me to keep the tail gate down and pull my travel trailer behind without buying a very expensive system
This heavy duty extension is going to work perfect for towing my boat behind my truck and camper. This is just what I needed. The quality is superb. I found a similar product on Amazon but the reviews were poor and the quality looked inferior to the e-trailer product.
Works great when used with anti rattle hitch locks for my carry on hitch basket and my Saris bike rack. Would definitely recommend. Allows me to drop my tailgate with the bikes on the tack.
Excellent service, helpful and friendly. Delivery was quick and with no issues.
Worked perfectly.
Thank You
Great product. Exactly what I needed. Hard to find anywhere else. Have used it a lot for a year now and it has worked perfectly.
well made i will see how it holds up in the next week or so
Bought this to extend my bike rack away from the truck camper door. Added a anti rattle clamp and yhe setup has been perfect.
quick and accurate. great experience.
We can now haul our golf cart with the tailgate (on our Chevy HD 2500 6'-6" bed) down and still pull our Apex 24' travel trailer. Before we would need to remove the tailgate. Our truck hitch is a class 5 rated at 13,500 lbs. and our trailer fully loaded is 5964 lbs. We only needed to extend our 7- pin cord ,the breakaway brake cable and safety chains.

Great!Great!
Working with etrailer.com was great. I worked with Madison and she was knowledgable, professional and very helpful. Got what I needed and it was delivered earlier than expected! I highly recommend etrailer.com!
Product is very high quality. There was a small shipping delay, but etrailer was excellent at keeping me informed of the delay and when to expect product. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

The hitch extender is working well for us. We just finished our second season of camping with no issues.
