Zahawn 2.5" to 2" Trailer Hitch Adapter Reducer Sleeve for Ford Super Duty — Locking Carbon-Steel, Black Powder-Coat

Zahawn's 2½" to 2" trailer hitch adapter converts a Class V receiver into a standard 2" hitch with a locking pin for secure, ready-to-use towing compatibility.

If your Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 or F-550 Super Duty (2017–2026) came with a 2.5" receiver but your accessories are 2", this Zahawn towing sleeve solves that mismatch quickly. Machined carbon-steel construction, a black powder coat, and included locking hardware let you attach ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, and other common 2" accessories without modifying the vehicle. The adapter is built for frequent use, designed to minimize jamming, rattling, and over-insertion while improving alignment during installation.

How does this adapter fit my Ford Super Duty and other equipment?

The adapter is engineered specifically to slide into a 2.5" Class V receiver and present a 2" opening compatible with standard Class III/IV accessories. It works with many trucks, RVs, tractors, boats, and aftermarket carriers when the receiver size is 2.5".

• Compatible with 2017–2026 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 Super Duty models.
• Converts 2.5" receiver to 2" hitch interface for common accessories.
• Suitable for ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, and more.
• Check your hitch dimensions to confirm fit before purchase.

What hardware is included and how secure is the connection?

The kit comes complete with the reducer sleeve, a hitch pin, and a lock pin to secure the adapter in the receiver. The lock serves as an anti-theft measure while both pins hold the adapter firmly in place to prevent rotation or movement during towing.

• 1 x 2.5" to 2" adapter sleeve.
• 1 x standard hitch pin for immediate installation.
• 1 x locking pin adds theft deterrence and extra retention.
• Oval pin hole design eases insertion in adverse conditions.

Will the adapter be durable and resistant to the elements?

Yes — Zahawn builds the sleeve from high-strength carbon steel and finishes it with a black powder coat to protect against rust and wear. Its precision-machined profile reduces noise and misalignment, giving a solid long-term connection between differing hitch sizes.

• High-strength carbon steel core for robust load handling.
• Black powder-coated finish for corrosion and scratch resistance.
• Integrated outer lip prevents over-insertion and aligns holes.
• Designed to minimize rattling and simplify removal.

How easy is it to install and remove the adapter?

Installation is tool-free: push the sleeve into the receiver, align the holes and secure with the included pin and lock. The smooth surface and oval pin hole reduce hang-ups, even when working in mud, cold, or tight spaces.

• Slip-in installation with no extra tools required.
• Smooth machined surface aids quick insertion and extraction.
• Oval hole allows easier pin alignment under load or grime.
• Outer lip ensures correct insertion depth and consistent fit.
