New hitches from Buyers Products
Buyers Products has introduced a new series of 2.5 in., towing accessories to accommodate growing demand with 2.5 in., hitches. The new line features a 2.5 in., bolt-on receiver tube, a stowable, adjustable tri-ball hitch for 2.5 in., hitch receivers, and a 2.5 in., to 2-in., receiver tube adapter.
"With more and more trucks using larger 2.5-in., receivers and hitches, we’re excited to expand our lineup of hitches, receiver tubes and adapters in 2023," says Dan Doerr, director of new product development at Buyers Products. "We’ve noticed a shift in the industry from the standard 2-in., to 2.5-in., and are proud to offer these new additions at competitive price points."
The new bolt-on receiver tube is rated for 20,000 lb., maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) and 2,000 lb., maximum vertical load, and easily bolts to any hitch plate with standard pintle hook bolt patterns, the company says.
The stowable, adjustable tri-ball hitch makes for tool-and-hassle-free height adjustment and allows the user to select a 1 7/8-in., ball, 2-in., ball, or 2 5/16-in., ball rated at 6,000/10,000/15,000 lb., respectively.
The updated 2.5-in., to 2-in., receiver tube adapter features stop tabs for easy alignment, the company says.
