Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.



Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.


In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.


etrailer.com Technical Support

At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

2023 Ram 2500

Installation wasn't too bad. HOWEVER you need to take the front airdam off (which was not specified in the directions) to be able to get this on. Then make the trim cuts to the airdam and reinstall.

So far, so good with my MotoTote.



by:

The hitch itself seems to be well constructed but the installation allows for a pretty big gap between the hitch and the frame. It should be fine for my application of just a bike rack but I'm not sure I would use it for something heavier. Also disappointed with the location of the pin holes as they are directly in line with the trimmed fascia. I have to push or pull the fascia to get my bike rack pin in and locked.



by:

Fast shipping, good quality and very easy to install. Total time was 30 minutes. Bike rake sits in receiver has very title movement.



by:

I lucked out and didnt have to remove any bolts. Previous owner had a plow on the truck so my hitch bolted right in. Only issue is a large gap between frame and hitch. Instruction said to stack washers until flush. I dont think enough washers were in the kit to do that. I simply made shims from stock I had laying around. 1 hr install by my self. I used a floor jack to hold it in place while bolting it up.



by:

Doesn’t line up level with truck it has a downward angle. Loosened up bolts again put a bottle jack under front of hitch raised front up some but still not level

I wanted to see if you could send a picture of how the hitch angle is on the truck. I reached out to the manufacturer and they have not had this reported in.



by:

I’m not a handy guy and I installed this alone, it’s been a great addition to my 2021 Ram 3500, We use it for a bike rack or beach basket for extra storage when im off roading.

2019 Ram 2500

We received the front mount trailer hitch in perfect condition with very fast shipping. The mount is very high quality, very sturdy, and came with excellent instructions for mounting to our truck. We are very pleased with this item and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a front mount hitch.

We bought our cover over a year ago for our new trailer. It has been fabulous. The optional door access is essential. I didnt realize how frequently we would use it throughout the winter.

Fits great on my 2020 2500 Ram. Love it . The spare tire housing holds my train horn. The front hitch will hold my spare!

2019 Dodge Ram Pickup

The hitch fit my 2019 Ram 2500 perfectl y.



by:

Great product and easy install. Ram 2500. No drilling for my truck, 6.4L gas engine. In case the diesel is different. Just cut the wind guard with a hacksaw. It’s a little awkward lifting it into place laying under the truck but doable. 2 hours total.



by:

Hitch receiver is too short and too low; currently trying to find a robust extender without much luck so thus far it's not been used unfortunately. I've been putting front mount receiver in every car I have and this is the first time I'm regretting it



by:

Install was easy and straightforward. Only thing I didn't like is mine leans towards the ground and not level so I had to use a riser so my basket that I use to haul my generator wouldn't hit the ground going in and out of some drives with dips.



by:
2019 Ram 2500

Hitch was packaged and boxed well and delivered in 2 days. Very well built hitch. Directions were spot on and the hitch fit perfectly.
Total installation time was less then an hour.



by:

Very happy be with product, and ease of installation.



by:

Hitch is great. Fits nicely and install was ok. Only downside was hardware came loose in the box and I was missing a couple of washers and nuts which necessitated a trip to Tractor Supply. Origional bolts on Ram were extremely tight and needed a good breaker bar to move. Install was done with truck on the ground. As a previous user dud I used a motorcycle lift to hold in position until I had two bolts in.



by:

It will not fit...2020 Ram 3500 I cut on it to make fit but no go and I can't return it now for sure lol

You mentioned that the hitch did not fit for you and I wanted to ask a few questions. Can you explain in more detail how it did not fit? Is your truck a diesel model? Is it a power wagon model?

Gregg

It is a 2020 Ram 3500 diesel the front radiator oil cooler would hit no way to install that hitch

Etrailer Expert

This hitch is not a fit for diesel models. For a 2020 Ram 3500 diesel the hitch would be part # EH37FR.



by:
2019 Ram 2500

Fast shipping from etrailer. Haven't installed it yet, but it's pretty beefy and should do the job. Will follow up after the install!



by:

So glad to get it so quickly. I had a different hitch on order that was back-ordered twice. switched to this one, had it in a few days, not months.

  • Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Fit on 2019 Ram 2500 For Snow Plow
    There is a front-mounted trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Ram 2500 (non-Diesel models) that doesn't require modification to your truck, and will work with a hitch-mounted snow plow. I was unable to find a Fisher X2 model snow plow to see if it was hitch-mounted or frame mounted, but as long as it is hitch-mounted it will work: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT36MR There isn't a front hitch that will install in your '19 Ram 2500 if you have a frame-mounted snow plow,...

  • Required Trimming for Draw-Tite Front Hitch On 2021 Ram 2500
    In order to trim the bumper fascia on a 2021 Ram 2500 when installing the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT36MR you will need to measure using the diagram in the instructions which I have attached a photo of below. That said, there isn't any sort of template that you transfer onto the vehicle and trace. The cutting is pretty straightforward and easily done with the right tool.

  • Is License Plate Relocation Needed For 2020 Ram 3500 W/ Draw-Tite front Mount Hitch DT36MR Installed
    Since the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT36MR you were looking at for your 2020 Ram 3500 will sit behind the license plate you will want to relocate it, though it may be possible to keep it in the factory location. The reason for this is if you left it in the stock location you would need to remove it each time you want to use the receiver. I recommend the relocation bracket # 5443.

  • Differences Between The Curt And Draw-Tite Front Mounted Hitches For A 2021 Ram 2500
    There isn't much of a difference between the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT36MR and the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31089 since they both have the exact same line pull and vertical load capacities. Even though they are very similar for your 2021 Ram 2500 I recommend going with the Curt over the Draw-Tite because Curt manufactures their hitches right here in America and their powder coating process holds up better than the powder coating of its competitors....

  • Is There a Front Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Ram 5500 With Diesel Engine?
    You will need to have a custom front receiver made for your 2019 Ram 5500 as I do not see anyone making one compatible with your diesel engine. The Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 provides a great starting point for a fabricator to create a receiver for your truck.

    Draw-Tite has confirmed that their 65084 front mounted hitch receiver which we sell as part # DT36MR is NOT a fit for Diesel models of the 2019-2021 Ram 3500 truck, due to the extra plumbing used on the Diesel model. We do offer a fit for you Diesel truck, however. The EcoHitch # EH37FR will sit a little higher on the front of the truck, which helps it avoid the intercooler and its related plumbing.

    The Draw-Tite # DT36MR (manufacturer part number 65084) front mount hitch is actually only designed for use on the gas models, so it is not the correct fit for your 2021 Ram 3500 Diesel. The EcoHitch Front Mount Hitch # EH37FR, on the other hand, is designed to fit both the gas and diesel models and will be the hitch I recommend. It is also American made and will have a 10,000 pound line pull capacity and a 1000 pound vertical load limit. Though we do not have an install video for this...

A better solution might be the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # DT36MR which has about a 4-1/2" longer receiver tube and will stick out a bit further from the bumper, making it better suited for carrying a bike rack.
