MaxxHaul 80875 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter with 4" Rise and 3-3/8" Drop - for Class I and Class II Receivers

Att: Australians. This is smaller than our small hitch but it can be adjusted. In photo you can see we have used 2 anti rattles sideways on the part that connects to our car. That worked great until we could get the maxxhaul into our 4WD and camper repair shop. They got a sleeve the same size as our larger 1 1/2 inch opening and welded the sleeve over the 1 1/4 inch maxxhaul I bought from here. As you can see in second photo you can’t tell it’s been adjusted its nice and secure and it doesn’t require any anti rattle anymore. I love the fact it lifts our cargo carrier higher so we don’t have to worry about speed humps and it’s higher for easy loading. Highly recommend. Sorry it has taken a month for the review but we wanted to show it fitting nice.

Muy bueno y resistente

Works Excellent

My 1 1/4 inch receiver is Class I. And I need a 4 bike hitch rack, most of which come with 2 inch receiver. Did some research and decided give it try with a adapter. I am happy with this adapter for 1) it is very solid made 2) it raise the 2 inch receiver by few inches, which is important for my Impreza. This adapter add 6 inch on top of the original designed tow weight's ball position (11 inches). That means to reduce the tow weight by 30-50%. I ended up compensate the number with a 3000lbs ratchet tie down help to stabilize the bike rack. Both 1.25 and 2 inch receiver installed with a hitch tightener to reduce the play. For the 1.25 inch receiver, I did not put a lock and just get a 3/8 by 3 inch hex bolt with two nuts plus lock washer. My first run is about 40km away from home with 3 bikes around 90lbs. The whole rack stays quite stable during the trip. Will do a further cross city run next few days and see if this adapter + hitch tightener + ratchet tie down combo will last.

Hitch insertion is extremely small , may 1.5 x 1.5 inches. Very heavy item to post it back. Pin holes are too tiny. I take it’s to trailer building work shop and enlarge pin holes. One hole drilling enlargement cost $65. My vehicle is mid size SUV hitch is 1.8 x 1.8 inches. I doubt this size will not well fit to Australia vehicles all on the land. This must be removed from Amazon online.
