Peter J - 06/30/2018Excellent short 1.25" hitch extender. Used this with a hitch from Outmotoring.com for a Mini Cooper and a bike rack. Most of the hitch extenders out there are too long to keep in the hitch when the bike rack isn't attached. This one comes just outside the bumper cover and is perfect! Thanks again etrailer.com! What great service, such a great product and terrific customer service. Thanks AAA+++
Very knowledgeable staff, and excellent service. My new bike rack, with my existing hitch, was hitting my bumper. The service rep I spoke with figured out the issue, located the extender I needed, and placed the order for me. Great experience.
1 1/4" extension fit well (could be a tiny more snug). but was just what i needed for my mini cooper and new bike rack. Fast Ship good price and I would use them again.
Now i can use my bike rack! :)
Great Product - Fits perfectly on my Mini Cooper S. I purchased to extend a MiniDoMore Hidden Hitch, which previously required crawling under the car to attach accessories. Now it is much more useable with the hitch extender installed. This was the perfect size to put the hitch tube just an inch or two beyond the bumper to allow easy access to insert hitch pin and clip as needed.
High quality products, quick, efficient, will shop here again.
The extender does just what it is suppose to do. Received extender in record time from you too. Thanks!
I had a factory installed hitch put onto my car by the dealer. They had "looked up my bike rack on line to make sure it would work". They said it would, but it didn't. The lower hinge didn't clear the bumper preventing me from getting into the trunk while the bike rack was on my car. I spent an entire day driving all around town looking for a solution to my problem even asking a friend of mine if he could weld something to the hitch to extend the receiver just a few inches. He suggested that I purchase this product.
The extender solved my problem and prevented me from having to have something custom built. The folks at etrailer kept me posted as to when my purchase would arrive and were very friendly. I would recommend etrailer.com for their great customer service.
Thank you!
Purchased this extender to use on my daughter's RAV4 which has the spare tire mounted on the rear hatch/door. The extender allowed us to use our two bike hitch rack without interference from the tire. Without it, you can only use the outer tray of the rack as the tire gets in the way of mounting a bike on the inner tray.
Good product that served it's intended purchase purpose.
I asked Juanita on the phone what I needed, and she recommended this hitch extender. Two days later it was in my hands. Perfect fit, just what I needed. Thanks for the guidance and speedy service. Perfect !!
Bob C - 04/01/2015Hitch and extender arrived within 4 days of order. Super easy install. Great products and E Trailer kept me informed from day one. Great Service, will deal with these folks again.
Gordon - 01/30/2015It does not accommodate one of the Polaris ATV hitches, the one inch drop. I like the extension but the distances from the female pin hole on the extension to the male hole on the Polaris hitch are off by about a quarter of an inch. The seam weld on the Polaris hitch gets in the way. Polaris ATV hitch with a 3 inch drop may accommodate this or perhaps a Kolpin hitch...not sure yet. If I cannot figure it out I will send it back. Polaris makes no ATV extensions for hitches, which for the 550 X2 are a must.
Excellent product. I use it to extend the receiver on our fifth wheel trailer, allowing
the bike rack to easily attach to the back of the trailer. The receiver on the trailer is recessed, and because of the style of bike rack, it would hit the back of the trailer.
Had a trailer hitch installed on my 2012 Fiat 500. This Item is heavy, well made and made it possible to shorten up the length of an existing bike rack. etrailer is the only site that carries a quality extension.
I have a bicycle rack that was a little to close to the back of my wagon with the bikes mounted on it. This product gave me the extension that I needed to create enough space to provide clearance and prevent damage to the back of my vehicle. I think it's great
Mike B - 03/23/2018The product works great! However, the time it took to receive this item was not. I have bought 3 tow hitches in the past year from here, and everything with those was perfect. I don't know what caused the delay with this much smaller item.
Exactly what I needed. I've been using an adapter for my bike rack for years, but the opening was for a 2 inch receiver. Therefore, had to use a spacer. Although that worked, it always seemed like there was a lot of extra movement with the rack. With this extender, the bike rack fits much more snugly. I received my order within about 4 days of ordering!
Used to mount carier on my 4weeler needed to extend hitch to clear tires. Go career from you too. Great products have ordeded from you will order again.
Glen L - 08/18/2019This hitch extender was just what I needed to connect my Thule bike rack to my hitch. Now the rack clears my oversized bumper perfectly and I can still get into my trunk with bikes loaded. Customer service helped me select the correct hitch extender for my vehicle's year/model, answered all my questions, and made sure that I ordered the accessories I needed for a quick installation. The entire process was a breeze -- thank you very much!
Extension works perfect. Delivery was very quick. Will definitely recommend etrailer.
Sherwood - 01/23/2015Quick delivery, the right product for my mini since i attached it to a hitch add-on from e-trailer (not available by other manufacturer) it doesnt stick out as much as others in the market and they provide the correct size pins for the extension.

The extension that I ordered work wonde rfully.
Spent a lot of time researching these hitch extenders. This was a perfect fit for my 2014 Chrysler 200. I added a class 1 hitch but needed the extra length so the trunk clears the bike rack when dropping convertible top. Ordered ecomony shipping but arrived pretty quick and great tracking shown on product.
they were very helpful with my hitch. needed a extension to make the bike rack fit on my 2020 rogue
