Zahawn 2.5" to 2" Trailer Hitch Adapter for Silverado/Sierra — Locking 2.5in-to-2in Reducer, Carbon Steel Powder-Coated

Zahawn's 2.5" to 2" trailer hitch receiver adapter converts a 2.5-inch Class V receiver to a standard 2-inch hitch, including a lock pin and hitch pin for secure towing of ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers.

This Zahawn reducer is purpose-built for 2007–2026 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks, providing a reliable way to use common 2" accessories in a larger 2.5" factory receiver. Machined from high-strength carbon steel and finished with black powder coat, the sleeve is engineered for easy insertion, minimal rattle, and corrosion resistance. The kit includes both a locking pin for theft deterrence and a hitch pin for secure installation, so you can tow or carry gear without extra purchases.

The adapter turns the factory 2.5" Class V receiver into a standard 2" opening so you can attach widely available Class III/IV accessories. That expands what you can mount behind your truck without changing receiver hardware.

Will this adapter fit all accessories and what should I check before buying?

• Confirm the receiver is the factory 2.5" Class V style for 2007–2026 Silverado/Sierra HD models.
