Can Tow Hooks Stay in Place Using Curt Front Mount Receiver 31374 on a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4
Question:
Do I HAVE to remove the tow hooks from a 2014 Dodge RAM 1500 4WD OR can I install the hitch between the tow hooks and the frame?
asked by: Kurt
Expert Reply:
It is possible to retain tow hooks on the truck by using Draw-Tite front hitch # 65062. But the tow hooks apparently varied in design so some may still have to be removed. Draw-Tite does not specify which ones can be retained. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.
The Curt front mount receiver # 31374 was not designed or tested for installation with the tow hooks sandwiched between the frame and the hitch so I cannot recommend that installation on your 2014 Ram 1500 4x4.
