I put a 1.25" trailer hitch on a Ford Fusion Hybrid so I could mount one of my cargo baskets that require a 2" hitch on it. It worked fine to allow for this.



by:

Wobbles a little in the receiver.

The fits and works great!



by:

Working fine for me. It sticks out from behind car, but I like it this way as to reach it.



by:

I have a bike rack and hitch mount that have a 2 inch mount but only a 1 1/4 receiver on my car so this solved the problem and works great.



by:

Great product



by:

Product works after many attempts to rubber mallet it into the 1 1/4 inch receiver. The paint was so thick that I couldn’t push it in by hand. Some WD 40 and mallet smacks later, it not slides in, but still needs to be tapped out with the mallet. More annoying than anything else.

Sometimes what happens during the powder coat process is that the paint is put on a little thick, which can cause the application to not fit properly. We recommend lightly sanding the adapter where it is not fitting and then covering it with a rustoleum type of paint.

Should work if I can get the right trailer hitch!!!

This is my third purchase in 3 months from e-trailer and each one has been an excellent customer experience with a high quality product. Keep up that efficient service!

It fits fine but is a little loose. I have a welding buddy that's going to fix that

I would not recommend welding the hitch adapter to the hitch. Instead, I recommend using an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061-125 to make it fit tighter in the receiver.



by:

Not sure if it is the adapter or the hitch that is too large or too small...

What can happen is that a 1.25 hitch receiver does not always measure exactly 1.25 inches by 1.25 inches. There is a manufacturing tolerance involved that allows the receiver to be a few hundredths of an inches larger or smaller than 1.25 inches, but still be within tolerance. Due to the fact that the connection between a hitch receiver and the shank of a ball mount or hitch mounted accessory is not meant to be a precision fit. Sometimes the hitch opening will be smaller while the shank of the accessory is larger and it can be a very tight fit.

not much to say...solid build.

Worked as expected

  • Availability Of Adapter To Go From 1-1/4" Hitch To A 2" Hitch
    We do have an adapter that will allow you to attach a 2" cargo carrier to the 1-1/4" hitch on your 2016 Nissan Altima. I recommend the adapter # e43YR. This is 6-1/2" long and will go in to your 1-1/4" hitch and give you a 2" receiver on the other end. It is important to note that when using an adapter, you will reduce your hitch's weight capacity by 50 percent. So if your trailer hitch is rated for 200 lbs tongue weight, you will only be able to carry 100 lbs. This will include the weight...

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
    I do have an option for you but there are not any class III, 2" trailer hitches for a 2016 Honda Civic. There are only class 1, 1-1/4" options like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # e43YR or part # e93YR but just keep in mind, they reduce capacity so you're now limited to 100 lbs for the bikes and rack.

  • Compatibility Of 1-1/4 to 2 Hitch Adapter On a 2021 Volvo XC60 With Class I Receiver
    I do have a recommendation for you as it sounds like you have a class I receiver with a stop on your 2021 Volvo XC60. The stop prevents class II accessories like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR from being used. It has a measurement of 2" from the receiver pin center hole to the end of the receiver tube. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is 1/2" shorter from the receiver pin hole to the end of the shank at 1-1/2". You could also consider installing a Curt Trailer Hitch...

    I do have an option for you but the only trailer hitch we offer for a 2013 Volkswagen Golf SportWagon is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11474 which has a class I rating with 1-1/4" receiver opening. It features a bolt-on install without any drilling required. If you have a 2" accessory then you'll have to use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR but keep in mind these adapters reduce hitch capacity by 50%. That said, it's your only option as there...

  • Is There a 2 Trailer Hitch for a 2019 VW Jetta
    I do have an option for you but there are unfortunately only class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options for a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta which is the case for a lot of these smaller sedans since they are not designed for heavy duty pulling or hauling. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 as it sits under the bumper for an easy install. If you must have a 2" trailer hitch then you can use an expander with the above like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but keep...

    The only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Hyundai Venue are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C57CR which is what I recommend. That said, you can convert this to a 2" hitch using an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, using said adapter will reduce the hitch capacity by 50%. Unfortunately, the Hyundai Venue is a subcompact so they don't make the larger hitch size for this as the vehicle can't benefit from...

  • Is There a 2 Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Hyundai Elantra
    The only trailer hitch options available for a 2007 Hyundai Elantra are class I, 1-1/4" like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24795 which is what I recommend. The reason for this is because the vehicle is small and cannot support the capacities of a class III hitch therefore one is not avavailbe. That said, there are still carrier options for the smaller hitch size like the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110. There are also adapters like the Trailer Hitch Receiver...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For Carrying a Bike Rack With 2" Receiver Behind a 2016 Mazda 6
    If you are wanting to use your 2" bike rack you will want to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7301 on your 2016 Mazda 6. Both the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # e43YR which will fit the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11356 and Hitch Adapter # HTAD reduce the capacity of the receiver by 50%. This will reduce the tongue weight from 200lbs to 100lbs by using the adapter and will likely push your bike rack with any bikes over the 100lb limit. By using the EcoHitch...

  • Is it Safe to Use Hitch Adapter on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Class I Hitch to Transport an E-Bike
    Price does play a pretty important role when choosing a trailer hitch, but for your application you really need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for transporting your e-bike with your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. When you use an adapter, like the 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter # e43YR, you'll be reducing the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is due to the extension causing more exaggerated movement since it sits further out. So not only will the weight rating of the hitch...

  • Using a 2" Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack With a 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
    I do have a recommendation for you as Thule only offers the Replacement 1-1/4" Hitch and Backbone Assembly # 753370902 for changing your Thule T2 Classic 2" to a 1-1/4". You can use either a Straight Adapter # e43YR or Rise Adapter # HT5R to adapt your 1-1/4" hitch to carry the 2" bike rack. Do note that the adapter will reduce the tongue weight rating on your receiver by 50%. So if you have a tongue weight rating of 350lbs you will have to stay 175lbs or below for the adapter.

    I do have a solution for you but the only trailer hitch options we offer for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 are class 1, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C49CR which is what I recommend. That said, as you mentioned you can use a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but this not only reduces capacity but it also increase play/rattle. Therefore, I know this is not what you want to hear but your best option is a new rack like the Saris Freedom Bike...

It has a 1-1/4" opening which will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you need a larger 2" opening you'll have to use an adapter, the Trailer Hitch Adapter part # e93YR or part # e43YR.

The only options confirmed for this are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11412 which is what I recommend using. If you need a 2" opening you can use an adapter like the 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter part # e43YR just keep in mind your capacity will be reduced by fifty percent.

  • Adapter Required To Carry a Kuat Bike Rack with 2 Hitch On a 2023 Mazda CX-30 With 1-1/4 Receiver
    You may not be able to use an Adapter # e43YR with your Kuat bike rack and the Curt trailer Hitch Receiver # C49CR on your 2023 Mazda CX-30. Since the receiver is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and the use of an adapter lowers the receiver capacity by 50%. So with the receiver only being able to then support 100lbs, the Adapter # e43YR weighing 6lbs and the Kuat Bike Rack # BA22B weighing 52lbs it leaves you with only 42lbs for your bikes. You may need to switch to their Transfer Bike...

  • Will Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist Work On a Honda Civic
    The height adjustment range of the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist part # RTL002 is between 42" and 64" and the weight capacity is 165 lbs. Therefore, so long as the height of the roof rack on the vehicle and weight of the boat are within this range then you'll be good to go. Please note, the t-load is designed for 2" hitches so the only way to use this with a 1-1/4" hitch is with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR.

    The shank would be the piece that you insert into the hitch receiver. So for a hitch cover like the Star Wars Darth Vader Trailer Hitch Cover # PC002282R01, there are 2 different shank options you can place the Darth Vader cover piece on so it will fit whether your vehicle has a 1-1/4" or a 2" square receiver. It looks like you were looking for a light up hitch cover so I recommend checking out the Pilot # CR-007 which is a simple square design that fits a 2" receiver and plugs into a...

I prefer the Curt option that is assembled in the USA and noted for having a superior powder coating. Each of these options have the same specs of being a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. They are rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. Meaning that the vertical load on these hitch options...

Please be advised that using any adapter will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. You will also want to verify with Thule that your bike rack is approved to be used with an adapter like this.

  • Why is There Only a Class I Trailer Hitch for my 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback?
    Hello Eric. Congrats on the new 2025 Corolla Hatchback! Yes, the only hitch that I see for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 which is a Class I with a 1 1/4" receiver. I checked the previous years and it looks like they only had a Class I as well. When a vehicle only has a class I available, it's because that vehicle is not supposed to be hauling anything heavier.

  • Options For Preventing Wobble And Rattle When Using A Hitch Expander On A 2022 Acura RDX
    All hitch expanders, like the etrailer.com # e43YR, will have a little play in them, and especially with this size. This is due to tolerances when building hitches and adapters and needing everything to fit, well, everything. The best way to combat this play is to use an anti rattle device. With that being said, the anti rattle devices available for 1-1/4" hitches are a little more difficult to install and remove than those of larger sizes. This is due to them being a little less common,...

I would not recommend attempting to modify your vehicle to attach a 2" hitch that was not intended for your Lexus.

  • Solution for Using Bike Rack With 2 Shank on 1-1/4 Receiver on 2008 Lexus GS 350
    The Curt # C11372 is the only custom hitch available for your 2008 Lexus GS 350. A Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver is often the only option for cars like yours since they don't have a high towing/tongue weight capacity. It is possible that your bike rack can have the shank replaced if one is available. Some models have a 2" version and 1-1/4" version that can be interchanged. If you have the # SH22G you were looking at you could contact Kuat and ask for the 016-007. This would allow...
