Slide this steel adapter into your existing 1-1/4" receiver tube and instantly open up a 2" hitch opening for bicycle carriers, cargo trays, and other light-duty accessories. A straightforward, no-weld solution for vehicles equipped with a Class I or Class II hitch that need to accept standard 2" shank accessories.
Many SUVs, minivans, and older tow vehicles came from the factory with a 1-1/4" receiver -- the smaller Class I or Class II opening. That limits accessory compatibility, since most bike racks, cargo carriers, and hitch-mounted accessories are built around the more common 2" shank standard. The Buyers 1804030 bridges that gap cleanly.
The adapter inserts into the 1-1/4" receiver tube and presents a full 2" square opening, secured with a standard 5/8" hitch pin (pin sold separately). At 7 lbs of solid steel with a black powder-coated finish, it resists corrosion through repeated loading and seasonal exposure.
Rated to handle up to 300 lbs of tongue load -- enough for a full cargo carrier or a multi-bike rack. Never exceed your vehicle hitch's own rating.
Heavy-gauge steel body resists flex and deformation under load. Built for repeated use, not a one-season throw-away part.
Corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish holds up against road grime, moisture, and UV exposure better than bare metal or paint alone.
Drilled for a standard 5/8" hitch pin and clip, compatible with virtually all aftermarket hitch pins and hitch locks on the market.
This is a light-duty accessory adapter, not a towing adapter. It is ideal for:
This adapter fits any vehicle with a 1-1/4" (Class I or Class II) square receiver tube. Common fitments include:
It does not fit 2" or 2-1/2" receivers -- those are already at or above the 2" standard and do not need a sleeve adapter of this type.
Installation requires no tools beyond a standard hitch pin and clip (not included). Slide the 1-1/4" shank end into your receiver tube, align the pin holes, and secure with a 5/8" hitch pin. The adapter adds length ahead of your bumper, so verify that your chosen accessory's shank length is compatible with your vehicle's bumper-to-pin clearance.
