Dodge Ram Pickup

I got the hitch and made a appointment to have it put on. That fell through so I decided to tackle it myself. It was extremely easy, my wife helped hold it in place while I got the bolts started. I use the hitch which I install in the front of my 2500 Ram to haul my ebikes on a bike rack. Works excellent.1301644

It’s working as intended. I did install a extension tube so the bike rack could fold up.

Please keep in mind that most extensions will cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch in half. That capacity does include the weight of the rack and the bikes.

I was totally amazed at the quality and the fit to my truck this hitch went on so easy even though I have a brush guard on this truck also. This item went on in about 45 minutes and that was to unpack it and get out the tools start to finish.238736

Great I use it all the time in tight places, so much easier then backing in a trailer in small areas

The hitch has done exactly what I had bought it for: to hold an adjustable, vertical T-bar at the front of my truck for supporting long cargo like canoes, extension ladders. As the need arises I'm sure it will work fine as a hitch for backing wagons into sheds, etc. But the need hasn't presented itself yet.
The only unusual trait I've seen is that the hitch doesn't set perfectly level, in the same plane with the truck. The mounting holes, both in the truck frame and the hitch, left no room for adjusting, but the hitch works as it is and I'm satisfied.1690725

Hitch arrived in three days, installed in an hour! Perfect fit on my 2017 Ram Tradesman 2500 HD. Will have to lengthen my bike rack tube due to design of rack. Thanks Sammy for calling Curt, then guaranteeing return shipping if no fit. You can hardly notice it's there!445891

Wasn't sure this part would fit on my 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, because Curt hadn't "approved" it yet, but it went on very easy. They included longer bolts that were needed due to my built in winch and the feeder wires were a great help. I lost a little approach clearance, but it is worth it. etrailer was great during the order process.438883

Pretty easy to install with the right tools. Not really noticable after it is installed. You do have to loosen the bumper, but you don't have to remove it. I bought it for a bicycle rack, works perfectly.822369

This hitch is perfect. It's great quality and it bolted up easily. Took me just over 1 hour to install.1726628

Good solid hitch. Took about an hour with help of my son. The drivers side on 2016 Ram Diesel was pretty easy but the passagers side was a bit challenging, because the two bolts that needed to be pushed in were being restricted on the other side but we got it done.771817

Ship time was super fast. Product is very heavy duty and the powder coat was perfect. All the hardware is included plus some cool wire to help fish a bolt through a tight spot. Directions were 95% useful and I also found a video by the manufacturer showing how to install it. Could not be more happy. 670129

Installation was a little rough but now that its on, it is perfect! Some guys have posted that they installed it by themselves and much respect to them. I needed two guys, a floor jack, a bottle jack (to spread the ends apart an extra 1/8 inch), a pry bar, a hammer, and a bigger hammer. The most important tool of all though is the etrailer installation video. the written instructions are not good and they only make sense after watching the video.1629857

Very sturdy, well made hitch. Easy to install and included all needed hardware. The instructions could be a bit more clear, the pictures miss some details. Such as the carriage bolt retainers need to be installed that the shorter ends back up to each other or else they will overlap and not allow the fasteners to be flush. Overall, I would purchase again and recommend this product.1568252

Excellent product. was shipped timely and while easy to install either have a other person on hand or use a jack to hold this thing up. For my truck you have to angelic back and then up to align everything. Also you are unbolting the front bumper so there will be some wiggling etc. A second person def helps!1427817

First, the Etrailer experience was excellant! Easy to order, no shipping fees and fast delvery. Great job Etrailer.
Secondly, the hitch from Curt is a heavy duty and functional hitch.
Thirdly, the instructions provided by Curt are pictured backwards in the instruction sheets, and the professional mechanic took 1 1/2 hrs to install, and called Curt tech support( 1-800-798-0813 on 2-5-13, having to ask about the backwards pictures in the instructions and was told by the person from Curt--yep you are right, they are backwards!
Rating--Etrailer=excellant,
Curt rating = Good( because of the instructions issue and it costing me more for the install. Should have been a 1/2hr. install from a professional, as per the instructions, and it was not!
If the instructions were correct, maybe a 45 minute to 1 hour install.65071

Fast delivery. Fits like a glove on my 2012 Ram 2500 4x4. Installed by myself, took about an hour and half using two jack stands. Hardest part was getting the hole centered in the air dam. Only concern was whether I could get the bumper back to factory location as mine dropped appox 1/4". Couldn't get it back but took measurements and it was still level. Looks great!!621724

I put this on a 2014 Ram 2500 Crew Cab. I use it in conjunction with the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches (TH934XTR) to take our bikes along when pulling our camper. It works well and sits out far enough to clear the front bumper. I considered the Draw Tite (65063), but I'm glad I didn't go that way as the bikes would have sat much too high and would have blocked my field of view. The bikes do bounce some, which made me nervous initially, but the hitch and the bike rack have held up well after one year.772219

awesome hitch. very well made. went on the nose of my '12 power wagon.1567135

We used the front hitch to handle an ebike rack. The hitch worked great, as we have been full-time RVing for the past 10 months and hauling the ebikes from Washington state to Key West. Would recommend the front hitch.1297487

I installed the hitch on my 2018 fwd ram today. The fit and finish on it was beyond my expectations. The directions provided with the hitch were minimal but accurate. Etrailer provided a video of the installation that was very helpful to let me know what to expect. Curt did a great job engendering the hitch with every detail addressed down to the wires needed to pull the bolts through a blind hole and torque specs . The only minor disappointment was the hitch was not secured in the box for shipping. The packaging was first class as far as size and structural integrity but the contents were not secured, and beat its way though the box. I would always recommend Etrailer. Great customer service pricing and exceptional website!!!594965

2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

Rock solid and a must for off road and camping.
I had some trouble with mounting ( I’m not very mechanically inclined ) but I did it and would recommend to any one. I got the hitch for under the bumper a must for not getting in the way of trans cooler. 2018 Ram 2500 Cummings turbo diesel720948

Quality built and good shipping...Now for installation, 2018 ram 2500, passenger side top bumper wouid not slide far enough because metal bracket on the other side.. after getting the hitch up and got nut on the drivers side had take long screwdriver and pry bottom bumper head on passenger side so I can get enough clearance to raise hitch to get a nut on. The bumper dropped 1/2 " and couldn't get raised again. still doesn't look bad. Fishing bolts was no problem. I even got a finger on the head of bolt to hold it in place while putting on nut. Not an easy installation job for 1 person but got'er done. 756116

The hitch fit perfectly on my 2017 Ram Power wagon. The longer bolts included were definitely needed for the factory installed winch. I gave it 4 stars only because of the packaging not the hitch. This is the 2nd hitch I've ordered for a 2nd truck. The first one arrived a little bent and both arrived with torn boxes, dents, and scratched paint. The packaging needs to be upgraded to handle the weight. Also, one of the first items on the instructions is to remove the nuts that secure the bumper bolts, the top ones will be reinstalled...... I didn't loosen or remove these and everything assembled just fine.589552

I recently bought an RV and I thought a front hitch would be handy on my RAM haul vehicle. I have a bike rack or a cargo carrier that could be utilized. Also I thought it could be used to park the RV in some situations. The hitch came with all hardware required and was really quite simple to install ( you will need an extra set of hands ) but is basically plug and play. The only reason I did not give a five star rating is because I had to slightly file the hitch pin hole on the one side of the receiver so the pin would go threw. 725131

I have a 2014 2500 w/ a 6.7L Diesel. Intercooler was in the way so backing out the bolts on the right was impossible.1334001

This hitch has been confirmed to be a fit for a twenty fourteen Ram twenty five hundred diesel. However, if you have an intercooler you may need to remove it as there isnt any other spot to attach the hitch.
