Weight Ratings For Brophy and Buyers Products Hitch Extenders With Steps
Question:
Hi on your 18inch hitch extender you show a rating using a weight distribution hitch at 7000 total trailer. What is it for the 12? Also is there another one with a higher rating?

Expert Reply:
The weight ratings for the 14" Brophy Hitch Extender with Step # ST12 is the same for the 18" Brophy Hitch Extender with Step # ST18. Both are capable of up to 700lbs tongue weight and 7,000lbs trailer weight when using a weight distribution hitch. Do remember that these both reduce the capacity of the receiver on your vehicle by 1/3rd. So your hitch must have a weight rating of 1,050lbs tongue weight and 10,500lbs trailer weight to reach achieve the maximum rating for the extender.
The 12" Buyers Products Hitch Extender w/ Step # 3371804015 and 18" Buyers Products Hitch Extender w/ Step # 3371804017 both will also require you to reduce the weight rating of your receiver by 1/3rd. Unlike the Brophy extenders above these do not carry a maximum limit as long as you follow the 1/3rd reduced capacity.
