MAXXHAUL 70070 2-inch Dual Hitch Extender Adapter — 10–12 inch Extension with 6-inch Rise/Drop, 4,000 lb Capacity

The MAXXHAUL 70070 is a forged-steel 2" receiver adapter that converts one hitch into two, providing a 10–12" extension with a 6" rise or drop and a 4,000 lb gross towing capacity.

Need to tow a trailer while keeping a bike rack or cargo carrier on your vehicle? The MAXXHAUL 70070 dual hitch extender turns a single 2" receiver into an accessory-ready top receiver plus a towing-ready bottom receiver, built from durable forged steel and finished in a weather-resistant black powder coat. It’s designed to fit common 2" hitches and balances practical accessory use with safe towing—when used correctly—so you can carry gear and tow without constantly swapping mounts.

How does the adapter let me tow and keep a hitch accessory attached?

The extender provides two 2" receivers stacked vertically: a bottom receiver intended for towing and a top receiver optimized for accessories. The top receiver is labeled accessory-only and should not be used for pulling trailers; the bottom receiver carries the towing load.

• Dual-receiver layout separates towing and accessory functions.
• Bottom receiver supports the gross trailer weight (GTW) rating.
• Top receiver secures bike racks, cargo carriers, and other hitch accessories.
• 10–12" extension distance helps clear rear-mounted accessories from the bumper.

What weight limits and safety considerations should I follow?

This MAXXHAUL extender is rated for a 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and a combined 400 lb tongue weight when used as specified. Remember that hitch extensions reduce factory towing ratings—commonly by up to half—so always verify your vehicle’s towing capacity, trailer tongue weight, and the accessory load before use.

• 4,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight under the adapter’s rating.
• 400 lb combined tongue weight limit for balanced towing.
• Expect reduced vehicle towing capacity when using extensions—follow manufacturer guidance.
• Inspect hitch pins, fasteners, and welds regularly for safety.

What materials and finish protect the extender from wear?

The MAXXHAUL 70070 is forged from heavy-duty steel for strength and longevity, then coated in a black powder coat to resist rust and corrosion from road exposure. That combination provides a durable platform for carrying accessories and towing tasks under normal use conditions.

• Forged steel construction for high-strength performance.
• Protective black powder coat finish to limit corrosion.
• Tested to meet applicable SAE safety standards for hitch components.
• Solid-pin and clip attachment points for secure mounting.

Who is this for? The MAXXHAUL 70070 is aimed at drivers who need to tow occasionally but also want to keep a hitch-mounted accessory in place—campers, cyclists with bike racks, weekend travelers with cargo carriers, and anyone who wants a dependable, heavy-duty solution that reduces the hassle of swapping mounts. It’s best for vehicles with a 2" receiver and owners who will confirm their vehicle’s reduced towing capacity when using an extension. If you frequently exceed tongue or trailer weight limits, or require accessory receivers for towing, consider a different hitch configuration or consult a pro installer.
