The Hitch Plate with 2-1/2 Inch Receiver Tube from Buyers Products is designed to be ready to use so you don't need to spend time at the fabricators. It features an attached 2 in. or 2-1/2 in. receiver tube, two forged D-rings, and a pre-punched hole that fits most trailer electrical connectors. The 1/2 in. thick hitch plate includes ICC bumper protection and features a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. It should be both welded and bolted to the frame. The hitch plate fits Ford chassis (not for pickups). Please consult the vehicle/chassis owner's manual before installing.
