A Closer Look at the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Video

I would discourage the use of an adapter for use of 2 inch accessories in 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. The reason is that the adapter places the carrier farther away from the rear of the vehicle and hitch, creating additional torque that 1-1/4…

Class III hitches with 2 inch openings are used for vehicles with higher capacities like trucks and SUVs than a Toyota Prius. The only hitch options we carry for the 2010 Toyota Prius is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening like the #24847. Now…

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver #306-X7178 is a great option for your 2014 Toyota Prius due to it being the only 2" hitch option available. A 2" hitch is always a great choice due to it having the most options available for…

In regards to installing a trailer hitch like the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part #306-X7178 on a 2011 Toyota Prius, the process is not hard at all. It installs into pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the frame, but you will have to drill…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

The Hitch Adapter 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Trailer Hitch, item #80303, has a longer shank on it so that it can not be installed in a lower capacity Class I hitch. Class I hitches have a stop inside the receiver to keep higher capacity Class II…

We offer adapters so you can use the 2 inch bike rack with the 1 1/4 inch receiver hitch. The appropriate adapter for your hitch depends on what class it is. You can use part #HTAD if your hitch is a Class I or Class II and part #80303 will only fit…

I reached out to Swagman who verified you are still able to use the Loading Ramp #S59SR with your Escapee Bike Rack #S39SR. They mentioned you will have a bit of a hump to get over when going from the rear wheel carrier to the front wheel carrier.

The Swagman Current Bike Rack part #S64678 that you referenced is designed to fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch or a 2 inch hitch. If you have a sleeve adapter for your 2-1/2 inch hitch to reduce it down to a 2 inch hitch this rack would work great. I attached…
