Buyers Products Company Forged Receiver-Mounted Tow Eye 2-inch Hitch — 12,000 lb, Black Powder-Coated

The Buyers Products RM1225E is a one-piece forged receiver-mounted tow eye built to deliver dependable heavy-duty towing up to 12,000 lb while fitting any standard 2" hitch receiver.

This forged tow eye combines a simple, heavy-duty design with corrosion-resistant finishing to give truck, trailer, and tractor owners a reliable recovery and towing anchor. Built from one-piece forged steel and finished in a black powder coat, the RM1225E aims to perform in demanding conditions where strength and consistent fit matter. It installs into front or rear 2" receivers and acts as a robust ring mount for straight-line pulls, recovery operations, or secure trailer towing configurations.

How strong is the RM1225E and what towing tasks can it handle?

The RM1225E is engineered for straight-line towing tasks with a rated capacity of up to 12,000 lb, relying on its one-piece forged steel construction for structural integrity. It’s intended for heavy-duty pulls, recoveries, and towing where a single robust attachment point is needed rather than sideways or angled loads.

• 12,000 lb straight-line towing rating under proper hitch and vehicle conditions
• One-piece forged steel body resists deformation under load
• Designed for recovery and direct-pull towing applications

Will this tow eye fit my vehicle’s hitch receiver?

The RM1225E is made to slide into any standard 2" receiver, which is the most common receiver size on light- and medium-duty trucks and many trailers. It works in either front- or rear-mounted receiver positions, giving flexibility for recovery by winch, paired towing, or trailer attachment points.

• Fits standard 2" square receivers used by trucks and trailers
• Accepts common hitch pins and clips for secure installation
• Compatible with both front- and rear-mounted receiver locations

How durable is the finish and will it resist corrosion?

The RM1225E uses a black powder coat applied over forged steel to add a protective barrier against moisture, road salt, and abrasion. While powder coating increases corrosion resistance, periodic inspection and maintenance will prolong service life in harsh marine or winter road environments.

• Black powder coating for improved resistance to rust and chips
• Forged steel core provides long-term structural durability
• Easy to clean and inspect for wear or coating damage

How simple is installation and what hardware do I need?

Installation is straightforward: slide the tow eye into a 2" receiver and secure it with a suitable hitch pin or locking device (not included). The RM1225E’s clean design minimizes fitment issues and makes it quick to deploy when you need a dependable attachment point.

• Slides into 2" receiver — standard hitch pin required (sold separately)
• Broad ring opening accepts a variety of shackles and hooks
• No welding or complex tools required for standard installation

Who is this for: The Buyers Products RM1225E is aimed at professionals and serious owners who need a simple, heavy-duty tow and recovery point that fits standard 2" receivers. It’s well suited for fleet vehicles, service trucks, agricultural equipment, off-road rigs, and trailers where a durable forged attachment is required for routine towing, recoveries, or equipment movement. If your work demands a straightforward, high-strength receiver-mounted ring with corrosion-resistant protection and easy installation, the RM1225E is designed to meet those needs.
