Buyers Products Company 2" Bolt-On Receiver Tube for Pintle Hitch Plate, 20,000 lb MGTW, Black Powder-Coated

The Buyers Products 1804055 bolt-on receiver tube converts a standard pintle hitch plate into a heavy-duty 2" receiver for fast, reliable towing versatility.

When a fleet or single truck needs to switch between pintle hook and ball-style towing without swapping the whole hitch, this bolt-on receiver tube provides a space-saving, high-strength solution. Built from thick steel and finished in corrosion-resistant black powder coat, it mounts directly to hitch plates with standard pintle hole patterns and accepts common receiver inserts for broad compatibility on work sites, farms, and job trailers.

How does this receiver tube add towing flexibility?

Instead of changing the entire hitch assembly, the bolt-on receiver lets you accept ball-mount accessories and other 2" receivers while keeping the pintle plate intact. It’s a practical way to adapt one vehicle to multiple trailer types without downtime.

• Bolts to standard pintle hook hole patterns for quick installation.
• Accepts 2" receiver inserts and works with many common hitch accessories.
• Enables rapid switching between pintle and ball towing setups.

What strength and load limits can I expect in real use?

This receiver tube is engineered for heavy-duty work: a 20,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight (MGTW) rating and a 2,000 lb maximum vertical load (MVL) provide dependable capacity for demanding towing tasks. The rating means it’s suitable for many vocational trailers and equipment hauls when used within the specified limits.

• 20,000 lb MGTW rating for gross trailer capacity under appropriate conditions.
• 2,000 lb MVL to handle vertical tongue loads safely.
• Reinforced collar and welded receiver tube provide structural integrity under heavy loads.

What materials and protections keep this part durable on the road?

The tube is welded to a 1/2" steel mounting plate and reinforced with a cast steel collar to resist bending and fatigue. A black powder-coated finish protects exposed surfaces from corrosion, road salt, and abrasion for longer service life in commercial environments.

• 2" receiver tube welded to a 1/2" steel mounting plate for heavy-duty strength.
• Cast steel collar adds reinforcement at the load-bearing junction.
• Black powder-coat resists rust and grime from daily use and harsh conditions.

Will this bolt-on receiver work with my existing hitch plate?

It’s designed to match standard pintle hook hole patterns, so compatibility is high with typical commercial and agricultural hitch plates. Measure your plate’s hole spacing and confirm your pintle pattern before purchase to ensure a direct bolt-on fit.

• Fits most standard pintle hook mounting patterns used on trucks and trailers.
• Accepts commonly used 2" receiver accessories—verify insert size compatibility.
• Simple bolt-on installation minimizes modification or welding on most plates.

Who is this for: Fleet managers, equipment haulers, contractors, and operators who need a rugged, no-fuss way to toggle between pintle and ball towing. If you run mixed trailers, require strong rated capacity, and prefer a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life, this Buyers Products bolt-on receiver tube offers a practical upgrade to expand towing options without replacing the hitch assembly.
