Looking for 2 inch receiver adapter for Bike Rack

Do they make an adapter that will slide over the square tubing tongue of the tow bar that has an additional 2 inch receiver for a bike rack.
I know they make a double receiver, but I'd rather not add the additional length to my hitch.........seems like that would just add stress to components.
Thanks
Brian
  • Most hitch stores have adapters to reduce the receiver.
  • The dual 2 inch hitch adapter can be purchased at harbor freight cheaper than anywhere else. I have used one for 5 years on MH with the Swagman X2 rack. One of my better purchase in my life time
  • Thanks for the replies, I bought a Swagman 64955 Looks like it will do the job.

    Not that I know of but they do make a bike rack that has a 2" square collar mount that slides over the 2" bar you already have

    And they make a "Dual hitch adapter" basically this is a 2" rise/drop (both at the same time) or a straight through /4" rise adapter.

    Like this Amazon one
  • Why not just put a hitch on the Toad? Much easier IMHO.
  • Brian, I just saw in a CURTIS TRAILER , Portland OR. catalog . a bolt on reciver that probably would do you good.
    I welded mine up and introduced a long plate and U bolts to reinforce the back bumper. Just because we travel so far.
    Have not seen a front ont that I would like yet.

    Or it might have been Harbor Fright

    Call them at 503-760-1363.
    They might be able to help you.
    If I find the book and page I'll repost ya
