If I have a 1 1/4 inch receiver, will I need to buy an adapter? And how can you 'adapt' a 2-inch tube to fit into a 1 1/4 inch tube?

These racks have quite a bit of bounce to them to begin with...throwing in more connections would really get things to bouncing. I wouldn't try it. I have an adapter to raise my hitch-height, but chose not to use it for that reason.

Short answer is yes. I should have asked this question and didn't because the description says that it is compatible out of the box. It is not directly compatible, but with the adapter it works very well.You'll need to pickup an adapter like this one... CURT 45785 1-1/4" to 2" Receiver Adapter

I know they make adaptors to go from 1 1/4 into a 2 but not sure about the other way for safety reasons. A 1 1/4 hitch receiver less of a weight rating. Remember you'll have nearly five hundred pounds of bikes on the rack plus the weight of the rack. Adaptors are just adding another point for failure. Hope this helped.

You must get an adapter to make this work as it is 2". Amazon sells the Curt 2" to 1 1/4" adapters. $20.

No, it only has 1-1/4" Square Tube as a part of the hitch assembly. You can purchase adapters to go from this 1-1/4" to 2"

No. You need an 1.25inch to 2inch adapter. On the sticker of the adapter or product description, it will either say 2inch to 1.25inch or 1.25inch to 2inch. You definitely want the 1.25inch to 2inch adapter.

I had Uhaul 1.25" receiver put on my car. The adapter fit fine with no cutting. You may need to cut the 1.25" part of the adapter because of the depth of your receiver.. I'm guessing not..The needed depth of your receiver needs to be only about 4.5". You may need a new pin for the adapter...I had several pins that were 5/8" but the adapter needs a 9/16" pin. Any parts store will have one. Keep in mind that your towing and tougue weight will be reduced by the adapter.

Assuming that u are asking about hitch receiver size.....the one I bought has the 1 1/4" in receiver although u can find others online that have the 2 inch receiver....be careful as the part no is the same for both receiver sizes so u have to really pay attn to the fine print. 2" is the standard size most trucks, etc.....many small cars use 1 1/4. Hope this helps.

To be sure go buy a one inch male pipe thread coupling. It has the male on both ends looks tapered (large in middle gets smaller on the tips) hold it up to the one going into yours. 3/4 and 1" are pretty different look at both at the store maybe even get both you can return them. You will know right away.

No it will not fit a 1.25" receiver without an adapter (not included). You can get an adapter at some wallmarts Tractor Supply or Amazon.

Yes it does. It's actually for an 1-1/4 inch receiver and it comes with an adapter to make it fit in an 2 inch one.

I used a 1 1/4 male adapter and it fit right on it and then you can adapt it to the size you need. I used a1 1/2 pvc pipe and fittings for mine but you can use 2 inch fittings. You just have to have to adapt from the 1 1/4 fitting to what ever size you use. I would show picture if but don't see a link to.

not this one, this will fit into the existing 2" and convert to an 2" again. It's like having an extended 2" tube to fit a bike rack that uses 2" fitting.

Yes it is an adapter that is added to fit 2" and removed to fit 1.25" receivers.

I don't really understand your question... This adapter is in two pieces. There's the T2 threaded bit on one end of the ~2" tube, and the other end of the 2" tube has female T2 threads on it and the 1.25" tube has a shoulder with a T2 threaded part that screws into that. So, you could put a T-Thread adapter on the end of the 2" tube, or, you could put it right onto the 1.25" part. (It hadn't occurred to me to do that until I saw your question, but I just tested it.)

look for an adaptor from 1 1/4" too a 2" just remember a class one has a much less load range than an Item that takes a class 2

No, I would use a 1" shaft. You can use a sleeve adapter 3/4"to 1" and make it work. But a 1" shaft is much stronger.

Yes it will fit any 1.25" receiver. It comes with an adapter for a 2" receiver. We used it on a trip from Pennsylvania to Florida with no problems.

I don't believe it will work for that without an adapter. Mine fits 1/2 hose tubing

It's built for a 2" receiver. You would need an adapter for a smaller hitch.
