I add question.
SuperTruss from what I see on the site works only with SuperHitch.
I do have 2.5" receiver on my truck and would like to utilize that for up to 7000lb trailer and from what I measure I could use 5 foot extension.
Anybody found easy solution ?
I don't believe a single 2.5" receiver will ever be strong enough for a 7000# trailer on a 5' extension , even if you slip a 2 x 2 tube inside . Some serious engineering would have to be done on the whole system , the hitch , its connections to the truck , etc. , etc. . The super truss 60" is rated 1000# tw , 10000# trailer wt , WITH weight distributing hitch .
Matthew_B came up with an interesting hitch extension that you can find in the TC University , however I don't think it was calculated as to its capacity . It may give you food for thought .
I have no doubt that a that a 5' extension could not be made that is suitable , it depends on how much effort you are willing to put into it and how much engineering skills you have or are available to you .
