Hitch Extension

Why do hitch extensions reduce capacity by 50%?

The limiting factor is the capacity of your hitch. Using a hitch extender will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50%. The extender is made of two different sized pieces of steel that are welded together; an outer dimension piece of solid steel that inserts into the hitch and welded to the other end is a piece of tube with a 2x2 inside dimension. The part where both pieces join is known as the 'weak spot'. Follow the link to view our selection of Receiver Hitch Extensions
