CURT 45789 7-Inch Long Trailer Hitch Extension for 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, 350 lbs

Que viene tratado para lo que es

The extension works very well. It gave the added clearance needed for towing and turning.

If your like me, you installed a Curt tow hitch, thinking, "hey this is all I need to put a bike rack on my car." Unfortunately by the time you finish the installation on the vehicle, only then do you realize that the hitch is very much underneath the bumper, and adding a bicycle or cargo carrier is going to be a real joy to set up.Enter this extender, for the 1/4" tow hitch. This beauty handles the loads required, and gives you that extra extension needed to be able to put something on your car, without having it rub the bumper off, or bang into the trunk. I suggest, adding a locking hitch pin from Ha*bor F*eight, because the traditional pin will do extensive damage to the underside of your bumper and becomes a real pain to remove, plus no one's going to make off with your extension, with it locked up.By the way....you don't get 7" of extension, more like 4 inches, as the piece that needs to go into the hitch, eats up most of the expansion.

There is a little play when this is installed which make any cart you are pulling move up and down more than expected. But it is solid and should last a long time. I do wish they made a 4" extender as I did not really need one 7" long. I used this to extend the hitch on my ATV as the stock setup caused the clip to be too close to the ATV muffler. One burn was enough for me. This will work just fine for what I need it for.

Had a bike rack hitch installed on my Element at Uhaul. The hitch was so far under my car that not only could I not see it to put the rack on, my bike rack hit my car. Thought an easy solution was to buy this extension. It did not not come with a pin, much less a clip. Back to the store to find something to hold it on. It's a little wobbly and now that I have a 40 lb ebike I see more movement than I am accustomed to on this Thule rack. Bought a tightener, but since I have to transfer the rack between cars, it has become a kerfuffle. Should have taken it back to Uhaul, but time was not on my side.
