MAXXHAUL 2 x 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver Extender 7" Length — 3500 lb GTW, 5/8" Pin Included

When your trailer, bike rack or cargo carrier needs extra clearance from the vehicle, a compact, heavy-duty hitch extender can save the day. The MAXXHAUL 50833 slides into a standard 2-inch receiver and increases the distance from vehicle to accessory by 7 inches. It ships with a 5/8-inch hitch pin and clips for quick installation and is built for repeated use where moderate towing capacity is required.

How does this extender change towing clearance and turning radius?

The 7-inch extension moves the mounted accessory farther from the vehicle body, giving extra room for folding ramps, open tailgates, or wider cargo carriers. That added distance can reduce contact between the mounted item and the vehicle during turns or loading. However, it alters leverage and may increase sway if not used within rated limits.

• Adds 7 inches of distance from the vehicle to the hitch-mounted accessory
• Helps clear tailgates, bumpers, and rear-mounted accessories
• May affect turning clearance and weight distribution—follow rated limits

Is the MAXXHAUL 50833 compatible with my hitch and accessories?

This unit is designed for a 2-inch square receiver and accepts 2-inch hitch-mounted accessories, making it compatible with most standard hitches, racks, and carriers. The included 5/8-inch pin matches common pin sizes, but verify your vehicle’s receiver pinhole and accessory shank before purchasing. It’s a straightforward plug-and-play solution for many towing setups.

• Fits standard 2" x 2" receiver tubes and 2" accessory shanks
• Includes a 5/8" hitch pin and clips for secure attachment
• Check pinhole size and accessory shank before use

What are the load ratings and safety considerations?

The extender carries a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) of 3500 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) of 350 lbs. Those ratings indicate the maximum loads it’s engineered to support; exceeding them can compromise safety and cause excessive stress on the hitch and vehicle. Always follow manufacturer towing guidelines and distribute load weight properly.

• Rated 3500 lbs GTW and 350 lbs TW—do not exceed these values
• Use proper hitch tightness and safety chains when towing
• Inspect for wear, rust, and secure pin engagement before each trip

How durable and easy to install is the MAXXHAUL 50833?

Made from heavy-gauge steel with a finish suited to outdoor use, this extender is built for repeated hitching and towing duty. Installation is a simple slide-in and secure with the supplied 5/8-inch pin and clips; removal is equally quick when you need the receiver clear. Routine checks and proper storage will extend service life.

• Constructed from heavy steel for durable towing performance
• Quick slide-in installation with included pin and clips
• Regular inspection and corrosion prevention recommended

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 50833 is ideal for drivers who need a modest extension to clear racks, carriers, or open tailgates while towing light-to-moderate loads. It suits RV owners, weekend haulers, bike-rack users and anyone with a standard 2" receiver seeking a reliable, easy-to-install 7" extender. Not recommended for loads above the listed GTW/TW or for use as a permanent load-bearing modification without following vehicle manufacturer guidelines.
