Description
The Yakima FlipFlop Hitch Extender solves a common challenge for outdoor enthusiasts looking to use their Yakima hitch-mounted racks on vehicles with smaller or differently sized hitch receivers. If your vehicle has a 1.25" receiver but your rack is made for 2", this adapter makes it possible to combine the two safely without resorting to unreliable or homemade solutions.
This adapter is designed to fit a 1.25" receiver on one end and provide a 2" receiver on the other, enabling compatibility with a wide range of Yakima cargo carriers, bike racks, and other hitch-mounted accessories. It maintains proper load alignment and stability by securely connecting the hitch components, removing concerns about fit or movement during transit.
Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools beyond a standard hitch pin or lock (sold separately). The FlipFlop adapter rotates or flips depending on your rack setup to provide the best clearance and fit. Its heavy-gauge steel construction is built to withstand regular outdoor use, ensuring durability across seasons and conditions.
While designed specifically for Yakima systems, this adapter also works with many other brands that conform to standard hitch sizes. It's a practical upgrade if you want to expand your vehicle’s gear carrying options without needing a new rack or a vehicle modification.
