TorkLift SuperTruss in SuperHitch

This SuperTruss hitch extender is specially designed to work with your SuperHitch trailer hitch (sold separately). Like most products from TorkLift, the primary purpose of this extender is to help create a towing setup that fits perfectly with your truck bed camper system. Not only will you be able to extend your trailer hitch receiver out far enough to clear the overhang of your camper, but you will also maintain a high enough weight capacity so that you can tow your trailer.


Heavy-Duty Towing with a Hitch Extension

Most hitch extensions dramatically reduce the towing capacity of your hitch setup, making it difficult to tow a loaded trailer over a certain weight. The SuperTruss, though, creates such a sturdy connection with your SuperHitch trailer hitch that you can still maintain a high weight capacity. To get the highest capacity possible, use a standard weight distribution system with the TorkLift towing setup.


The SuperTruss uses both of the receivers on your TorkLift SuperHitch to ensure a sturdy, secure connection. The solid shank of the extension's top tube slides into your top receiver, and the extension's lower compression tube installs in your bottom receiver. Each tube is held in place with the hitch pins and clips that were included with your SuperHitch. The connection between the extension and your hitch is reinforced with 2 sturdy steel collars that bolt around the tubes of the SuperTruss.


To give you absolute peace of mind, lateral support chains connect to the hitch and the extension on either side of your setup. Just attach one end of each chain to the extension and secure the opposite end to your SuperHitch. Then tighten the chains with the integrated turnbuckles. These chains not only provide extra security to keep the extension in place in your hitch, but they also transfer some of the weight back from the extension to your frame-mounted hitch.


How to Determine the SuperTruss Length You Need

If the camper is mounted on the truck:

Measure from the face of the truck's rear bumper to the outside edge of the camper's bumper. This is the length of the extension that you need.


If the camper is not mounted on the truck:

1. Measure from the inside of the front of your truck bed to the outside face of the truck's rear bumper.

2. Measure the camper's overall floor length from the rubber bumpers at the front to the outside edge of the rear bumper.

3. Find the difference between these 2 figures by subtracting. The difference is the length of the extension that you need.

It works perfectly to pull my toy hauler behind my slide in camper

It’s much easier to install with the camper off the truck. It’s heavy it is a two person job



by:

Super fast FREE shipping! Easy installation! Much cheaper purchasing through etrailer than any trailer supply shops near my home! I’m a local business supporter but the speed of shipping and price was to good to pass up!



by:

What I received was fine but short one chain and the pins needed to secure the extension are not provided. It’s heavy duty for sure. I have a 12 ft. truck camper so I need something that will securely tow my boat or trailer. I wold have given a higher rating if everything I needed showed up. I’m sure they will send what I need so I’ll give another review if and when that happens.



by:

Excellent product, well built with easy to follow assembly instructions. I use to tow behind my truck with a truck camper installed.

  • Options For Pulling a Boat Trailer Behind a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 with an In-Bed Truck Camper
    The longest extension available that will work with the factory trailer hitch receiver on your 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 is the Trailer Hitch Extender # e48YR. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch receiver to the edge of your truck bed camper to see if this extension is long enough. Keep in mind that a hitch extender like the # e48YR will reduce your trailer hitch receivers capacities by 50%, and has a max tongue weight rating of 350lbs and a max...

  • Weight Distribution for Supertruss Extenssion and Boat Trailer With 450 lb Tongue Weight
    When using the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension for SuperHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers - 60" Long # TLE1560 it is a good idea to use a weight distribution system because this will increase the tongue weight capacity of the extension from 500 lbs to 1,000 lbs if you have a SuperHitch Original or Magnum, and a weight distribution system will transfer the weight from the extension. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight...

    For a 2-inch hitch the longest hitch extensions we offer are the 60-inch # TLE1560 and 48-inch # TLE1548, both from TorkLift. However, these only work along with a TorkLift brand SuperHitch dual-receiver type hitch that has the strength and included safety chains to handle the extra stress from the trailer load being further from the hitch. To use one of these you will need to also install a SuperHitch. The longest standard 2-inch hitch extension that will work in any hitch is 18-inches,...

  • Towing Capacity of 2015 Ford F-350 w/ TorkLift Magnum, 60 Inch SuperTruss & Weight Distribution

  • Recommended TorkLift SuperHitch for a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500
    I do have an option for you but the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLD1100 will not fit your 2010 Dodge Ram 3500. This hitch is only designed to fit a Dodge Ram 3500 from 1994-2002. Instead, I recommend using the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLD1101 if you do not have a factory hitch or part # TLD1102 if you do have a factory hitch. If you also need the TorkLift SuperTruss and then you can use one of the following depending on the...

  • Using Reese Hitch Extender with Long Shank Ball Mount on 2002 Ford F-150
    You can use the Brophy Hitch Extender # ST18 that you referenced along with the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2753. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the use of the Brophy extender will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by one-third. For example, if the trailer hitch on your F-150 has a towing weight capacity of 10,000 pounds, this will be reduced to 6,666 pounds when using the extender. But then you would be limited by the 3,500 capacity of the # ST18. This would...

  • Extension for Hitch Receiver to Allow Trailer Towing with Truck That Has Slide-in Camper
    We do offer hitch extensions in various lengths to fit 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch truck hitches. These are shown on the linked page. The issue with hitch extensions is that they typically cause a loss of hitch capacity, a 50-percent loss! This happens due to the additional leverage applied by the extension to the hitch tube. This is much like slipping a pipe over the end of a tire iron to give you more leverage to loosen a lug nut. For this reason very long extensions such as the 60-inch TorkLift...
