I am not sure why this would be considered "hitch extend". The manufacturer has three shanks available for my hitch, a 10", 12" and 14". The dealer where I bought it chose to install the 10", probably because it was cheapest (he included hitch in camper price). If he had chose the Husky 12 or 14 inch shank I wouldn't be asking this question. My TT has relatively low amount of storage so I put a lot in the back of the pickup and it would be convenient to be able to have it open. I understand you would never extend your hitch and that is your decision. Personally I would never attach a cargo carrier to the rear bumper of a TT. That is my decision. Yes I know they can be welded/bolted to the frame. Yes I know a few TT come with one. Mine didn't come with one and the manufacturer strongly recommends againstit.
