According to CURT, trailer hitch # C15300, will fit the following Dodge vehicles:
1967 - 1980 Dodge Full Size Pickup Pickup, with Standard or Step Bumper
1981 - 1993 Dodge Ram Pickup Pickup, with Standard or Step Bumper
1994 - 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Pickup, 6 or 8 Foot Bed with Standard or Step Bumper
2002 - 2002 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 and 3500 Series with 6 Foot Bed or 8 foot bed
The recommended ball mount is # BWBMHD30010, and you can use hitch pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, use # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, use # 118329. If the truck has a tow package with a 7-Way and you want to convert to a 4-Way use # 118381. I have included instruction and video links for both wiring harnesses for you.
