• Do Cargo Carriers Have Max 350 lb Weight Capacity When Used With Hitch Extender
  A hitch extender will not reduce the capacity of a cargo carrier itself, though most extenders do have a max 350 lb tongue weight limit, such as the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long # e48YR. That said, extenders like # e48YR also reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent, so you have to go with whatever is lower - 350 lbs or half your hitch tongue weight capacity. For example, if your hitch had a 500 lb tongue weight capacity and you used the...

• Can You Use a 2" Hitch Extender When Towing to Let Tailgate Down
  We do offer hitch extenders which can be used for towing but the big thing to keep in mind when using such adapters is capacity, as they reduce this by 50%. The longest extender we offer for standard applications is 18" like the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers part # e48YR. The capacity of the adapter is 3,500 lbs or 50% of the hitch's weight capacity, whichever is lower.

• Can A Hitch Extender Be Used With A Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch
  Yes, you could use the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers # e48YR with a Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch like part # 336VS503505, but you'll be reducing the capacity of your vehicle's trailer hitch by 50%. If the trailer hitch is rated for 5,000lbs then you'd still have enough capacity for your 2,300lb trailer.

• Hitch Extension that Could be Used with Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  From the center of the hitch pin of the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 to the nearest upright portion of the rack is 8 inches so to determine how much of an extension you may need you would need to measure from the center of your hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the rear spare and compare that to the 8 inch measurement I mentioned. Most likely an 8 inch extension like the part # C45791 would work well for you. If you needed something longer we have the # e48YR which is 18...

• What Hitch Extension Is Needed For Carrying E-Bikes Behind a 2023 Ford Bronco On 1Up Bike Carrier?
  Using a 18" Extension # e48YR is most likely going to extend the bike rack much further than what you are needing. If your 2023 Ford Bronco does not come with a receiver we do have the Draw-Tite # DT37GR which is specifically designed longer. This will place the hitch pin center hole 3-1/2" behind the rear bumper which better allows for hitch mounted accessories to clear the rear tire. A Curt Receiver # C76WR which is more like the factory option places the hitch pin hole 3" in on the rear...

• Can I Use An Extender For A 2-1/2" Hitch In A 2" Hitch?
  I do have some potential solutions for you, but we are not aware of any kind of adapter that would go from a 2" hitch to a 2-1/2" hitch. An adapter like that would cause a lot of folks to overload their 2" hitches. The 2" hitches are only rated for so much weight. Also keep in mind that the use of a hitch adapter/extender will effectively decrease your tongue weight capacity by half. Using an adapter plus an extension would drastically decrease your towing capacity, and this would not be...

• Can the Yakima EXO Swing Away Carrier Be Used On A 2017 Ford F-350 With an In-Bed Camper?
  The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier # Y44ZR is not actually meant to be used with any type of hitch extender or adapter so with your truck having a hitch extender, it's not going to be recommended that you use this as is. That said, seeing as though you're still going to need to use some type of an extension, the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension # Y69VR has been approved and will work great with the EXO Swing Away # Y44ZR. If that is...

• Can Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Saely Be Used with Longer Shank to Clear Tailgate
  Yes, you can use the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU36FR with an extended shank, and for that I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank # EQ90-02-4600 which measures 14" from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the adjustment holes for the ball mount section. Using a standard extended shank will be just fine and won't have any positive or negative effects on this system. The only time using an extender is an issue is if you add a standalone extender like the 18" Long...

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...
