Hi, i have a class 2 hitch on my car and i need to connect it to a trailer with a class 3 connector. Can i use this adaptor to convert my hitch from class2 to class 3 ?

The trailer itself shouldn't have anything to do with it, Either it accepts a 1 7/8 ball or a 2" ball would be the question. If you have a class 2 receiver on your car they do make a step up adapter to class 3 but beware your class 2 mounted to your frame will only take so much "tong weight" maybe too much if what your pulling is too heavy.

No. This adapter actually adapts the Class 3 installed on your towing vehicle to a Class 2 receiver. The reason I purchased this is because I have a Class 3 on my Jeep and a Schwinn bicycle rack which is designed to fit a Class 2 hitch. It works perfectly for that purpose. I hope this answer helps you.

As Tim below answered yesterday, you need a 2" hitch receiver. There are 2 hitch receiver sizes, 1 3/4 " and 2". If you have a 1 3/4 " receiver you can buy an adapter at harbour freight to take it up to 2" but it will elongate the distance that the basket will stick out behind the car.

I use it with a class two Hitch on a 2013 Nissan Rogué SL AWD. Hope that helps.

You can purchase either the 1 1/4 inch or 2 inch hitch....it depends upon which receiver the car has installed. You need to know which size is on the car. If it does not have a hitch receiver on the back, you can easily get one installed. I would recommend the 2", which is sturdier and can be used to haul trailers or boats as well.

Yes, you just need the 2 " hitch receiver, or have and adapter to go to 2". It works great for me as I use it in the course of landscaping to haul mowers.

It will fit in a class 3 receiver hitch, no mater what vehicle the hitch is on.

It does come with a 2" adapter but since I have a 2" hitch receiver I never tried to remove it. The other concern is weight. It is a heavy rack and if you add 4 bikes it may be too much for your hitch. You may need to confirm your hitch's maximum vertical load.

I don't think the class I hitch would be sturdy enough. My vehicle has a class 3 hitch and the whole stem of the platform goes into the hitch opening. I think a converter would compromise the platform's stability too much. Best of luck.

Yes, this is designed to be used with a class 1 or 2 hitch with the 1-1/4 Inch Receiver.

Yes. It slides into a standard class 3 hitch. It also comes with a bolt to lock them in. Note that the hole size on the piece that slides in is a tad small for a standard pin, so use need to use the bolt and nut it comes with. Or you could drill it a little larger, but I didn't.

Any class. It only supports two bicycles. It is a 2" receiver so if you have a class 1 with a 1.25" you would need an adapter.

Not unless you have a one inch trailer hitch like I do. In that case you need a one inch to two inch converter. Most auto parts stores have them or you can get them from Amazon or Northern Tool. In recent years some cars have come with the smaller hitch (I have a GMC Terrain). Using this adapter may reduce the weight carrying capacity of the carrier. I only use it for a wheel chair so it's not a problem. Hope this helps.

I do not use it with the 2" adapter, but I will assume that it is very much solid, this yakima rack is a very good rack, the only thing that is missing is a part that I designed for this hitch that align the safety pin to the car hitch making it easy to install, this unit is not that light, so lifting it and hooking it to insert the pin it is a problem without a marker to install the safety pin. the rest it is a very good unit.JC

What I use this item for is converting a towed trailer with a 5 wire L.E.D. light system to a 4 wire system which is used by most automobiles. If your towing vehicle is set u with a 5 wire system which usually means you have separate brake lights and you towed vehicle has a 4 wire system where you have the brake, turn and tail & marker lights all on same wire or vise versa then yes this is the converter for you.

I am not sure, but Amazon says the CURT Manufacturing 45036 Class III 2" Loaded Ball Mount with 2" Ball is frequently purchased with the Rugged Ridge #11580.51. Does that make it a class 3? I don't know. Because of that recommendation that was the hitch I ordered with my Rugged Ridge. Maybe Goggle Rugged Ridge.

I would presume that you have the right class tow hitch on your car and the hitch can hold a 2" square tube.If you are unsure I would suggest you go not your car dealer and ask or call the manufacturer of this item.

don't think so. I have a 7 pin male recepticle on my vehicle. This converter has a 7 pin female recepticle that plugs into the vehicle. I then plug the 4 pin flat male connector on my trailer into the 7 pin to 4 pin converter to run my trailer lights. The converter I have works great.
