Went on easy torqued everything down as specified looks great only problem is the hex bolt sticks up to far to put the bumper ball hole cover back on

I ordered this for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 I recently acquired. Very well made! It came complete with all hardware and instructions. I had no problem following the instructions. It took longer to get ready to install the hitch than it did to install it; just about 15 minutes. I also ordered wiring kit C57186 which was perfect for my application. I'll be towing a Jay Feather hybrid with Tekonsha Prodigy RF wireless brake controller and this worked out perfectly. Thanks to Etrailer for making this so easy!

Product works great. Install medium difficulty for novice. Install video made it doable.

Went on without a "hitch"!
But seriously,
the hitch went on without a problem. The first one I ordered was welded completely crooked. I was p*ssed! I took pictures and sent them off to customer service. There is no doubt about etrailer's Customer Service Team. They are second to none. My replacement hitch was on its way to me before I even had the crooked one in the mail. The hitch, bolts, nuts and those wires that allow you to pull the bolts and retainer plates through the frame, all quality parts and easily went on. They have instructions and a great video of how to install it on my 2015 Ram 1500. Thank You etrailer for a smooth and pleasant transaction.

But seriously, " />

Ive used it quite a few times. I towed one of my cars to have a new transmission installed, a rented mini excavator twice during the 2017 summer. It is definitely doing its job pulling its weight.

Very good product and easy installation !!!

Installation went smoothly. Should work for what we bought it for.

Love it... Very well made and it did not take long to install as I had the tools needed... the fish wire was so easy... Again, Loved it!!! installed so Quick!!!

Built sturdy, looks great. Watched installation video, installed in about 30 minutes. Helps to have 2 people.

Good fit on the truck and wasn’t hard to install, it comes with everything you need to install as well. The paint is holding up really good no chipping or rusting, definitely would recommend this hitch receiver if it fits for your application.

2005 DodgeRam Pickup

2005 Dodge 1500 V6. 17ft flat trailer. 10ft Dump trailer. I haul no more then 5,000 to 6,000 pounds.
So far the trailer hitch and the receiver has held up well for hauling my two trailers. It installed rather easily with the fishing wire being the only challenge. The only issues is getting the 3/4" hardware to XXX lb-ft. I broke one socket and I don't have a torque wrench that goes that high. Nor could I find a local truck mechanic who did. SO I tightened the hell out of it and hope for the best.

Fast shipping. Very well built and easy to install. Had the new hitch on in less than 15 minutes on my Dodge Ram 1500 ST and it looks great.

After a year and towing a boat this hitch is still like new. Not a single problem with it coming loose or showing any sign of wear. Am as happy today as I was the day I installed it.



by:
2013 DodgeRam Pickup

Awesome. . Perfect fit for my 2013 Ram..Easy to install , especially with all the hardware that's included. I had read previous reviews and noticed a 1/2 inch hex key was needed so I purchased that before the hitch arrived that way I was ready to install. From the time I opened box , dropped spare tire,install and tighten the hitch to jacking back up the spare and being tow ready in 30 min. Thanks etrailer for a great product at a great price.. I am a satisfied customer.

I received a quote from a local truck dealer to install this for $220 and stated it would take a "couple of hours!"

I watched the video on-line and decided to order the part. It arrived in a couple of days and I had it installed in 22 mintues! (4 - 6 mins were to lower/raise the spare tire!)

I used the hitch this past weekend to haul my bass boat!

Ordering a reciever hitch for my wife's Jeep Liberty now (Local dealer quote was $550)

NOTE: Make sure you have a 1/2" hex socket for the bumper bolt.



by:
2015 Ram 1500

Shipped fast. Etrailer support was excellent, there was a concern with my order and it didn't ship on time so they refunded my extra payment for 2 day shipping and still shipped it 2 day. Installation was easy, I didn't even drop the spare all the way to get to the bolt holes through the rear cross bar. Fitment with the spare and in hitch in place is tight. The top bolt barely handled the required torque. Installation was a breeze. Can't wait to use it this weekend.



by:

This product is amazing. Extremely well made and comes with everything you need for an easy installation. The video instructions on there web site are spot on and very simple to follow. I could not be happier with this product. Lowering the spare was the most difficult part of the install but that is Dodges fault for making their spare tire system a joke.
I give this product my highest recommendation!
The entire ordering process could not have been easy and faster. Arrived exactly as advertised I was shocked as to how well made it really is. This is a beast of a hitch. This hitch is far superior to the Mopar hitch the dealer will charge you $275.00 for or $338.00 installed. You won’t be disappointed with this hitch.

2004 DodgeRam Pickup

This hitch is high quality and built to last. I think start to finish it took me 20 minutes to install. I am glad I found this and got it so quickly!



by:

After reading up on your hitch and it's installation, I was convinced I could do this myself ~ except for not being able to tighten things adequately. [I'm all of 71 yrs young.] Owner of the truck, hubs, Papa Gene at 86 yrs young, has no business groveling on the hard ground on his bad back to do the job ! As he figured [incorrectly] that the spare would have to come off from the undercarriage, he elected to have a more able, [disabled] neighbor do the job. As your instructions indicated, the job took all of 30 minutes, and no, the spare stayed in place. Hubs is ready now, to haul cedar logs to be milled for return so that he may build more furniture!



by:
2015 DodgeRam Pickup

Installed on my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500. I think I spent more time trying to find the 1/2 hex and lowering the spare to give me some room than I did installing the receiver. Ordered on a Sunday, received on Tuesday. Fantastic product, good price, easy installation, I would highly recommend.



by:

Heavy duty and sturdy. Installed this on my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock edition.

Came with all the special wires to install the back up mounting plates! So easy to install that it took me about 20 minutes!



by:

2019 RAM 1500 Classic

Very fast
service, I had my hitch in just 3 days.

Very easy install, took 15 minutes after dropping the spare tire even with hand tools and laying under it in the driveway.

Looks just as good as OEM, if not better.

Great customer service. Fast order processing even during holiday mayhem!

Etrailer did a awesome job helping me get the right hitch for my truck and getting it to me in a really quick amount of time even after a ordering issue. Would definitely use Etrailer again if I need another hitch.

Bought this at a great price for my 18 Ram from etrailer. So simple to install. It took longer to lower my spare tire than to install this hitch.
Highly recommend.



by:
2011 DodgeRam Pickup

Was looking for a receiver to fit my 2011 Ram crew cab, E-Trailer had one for a decent price, with a flush under bumper model. Just as advertised, it fit perfect. Very easy to install.(15-20 mins.) Made a great choice in doing business with E-trailer. Delivery was sooner than expected, and the price was good for me. Thanks E-Trailer

2003 DodgeRam Pickup

It was the best and easiest solution for my need, pulled my horse trailer around like nothing and you do not need to be a handle man or mechanic to do this, very easy steps.

  • Does Curt Hitch part # 13333 Fit 2017 Ram 1500 without Factory Hitch
    Yes, the Curt hitch part # 13333 is a fit for your 2017 Ram 1500 that does not have a factory hitch. I attached an install video that shows the hitch being installed in a similar 2016 Ram 1500 as yours as well.

  • Replacement Hardware Kit for Curt 13333 Hitch
    Yes. You'll need the Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK; when you navigate to that product page you'll put the # 13333 part number in the field marked "Hitch Item Number" and you will get the specific hardware kit for that hitch.

  • Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch that Bolts to Bumper Support on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
    You are correct, your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 does have a bumper support at the back that attaches to each frame rail with a support in the center that rests under the step bumper so you can place a hitch ball. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13333, that you have referenced attaches to the bumper support and uses the ball hole as an attachment point also, so it is compatible with your truck. The hitch can be used with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation details for the...

  • Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Ball, and Trailer Wiring Recommendations for a 2008 Dodge Ram V6
    For your 2008 Dodge Ram, the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13333, that you have referenced would be a good choice. This hitch mounts to the bumper support beam and the bumper. It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference. To complete your towing set up, the recommended ball mount is # 2753 with pin and clip # PC3. You can use ball # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 19247 (2...

  • Trouble Reinstalling Bumper Cap After Installing Curt Trailer Hitch 13333 on a Dodge Ram
    It seems like some owners can put the cap back on and others cannot after installing Curt trailer hitch # 13333. It is possible that on your truck, and others affected, the hitch is pulled up tighter to the bumper causing the cap not to fit back on. What you can try is to run the bolt in and out a few times to see if it can seat lower in its spot. You can also try changing the order when tightening the bolts because that can affect the position of the hitch. If you have never removed...

  • How Does Curt Trailer Hitch # 13333 Attach to a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab
    The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13333, for your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, bolts to the bumper support arm behind the bumper. It requires the removal of the trailer ball hole cap in the center of the bumper. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch that shows pictures and explains the installation steps in detail. Since the bumper and support arm are attached to the frame, the capacity could very well be 500/5,000. The Curt Trailer Hitch attaches in much the same way...

  • How is the Factory Trailer Hitch Secured on a 2013 Ram 1500
    I do not believe the information you were given is correct. On your 2013 Ram 1500, there is a center hole in the rear bumper that can be used for a hitch ball if you do not have the factory trailer hitch receiver installed. If you do have a factory trailer hitch receiver installed then this hole is used for a 3/4" bolt to secure the trailer hitch, not a hitch ball (see photo). If you do not already have a factory trailer hitch and would like to install a similar one, I recommend the Curt...

  • How to Tell if Curt Hitch Receiver Will Install on a 2023 Ram 1500 Classic
    Hey Sal, thanks for reaching out! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13333 will only fit if your 2023 Ram 1500 Classic doesn't have a trailer hitch receiver already installed. Since you said yours comes with the factory bumper hitch this won't be compatible unless you're able to remove that hitch. I'm attaching a video installation of this on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic that you can use to compare what you have to what this truck was installed with when we installed the Curt hitch on it.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13333 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 as long as you replace what you have with the standard OEM bumper. The Curt hitch is going to attach to the truck's factory bumper support that you mentioned with the included hardware. I have attached an image from the instructions so you can get a clearer picture of this. This hitch does feature a base towing capacity of 6,000 pounds but this is increased to 10,000 pounds...

    The photo on the RHK product page is a typical photo, and doesn't represent the actual replacement hardware you'll receive for the Curt # 13333. There are hundreds upon hundreds of unique hitch fits, and it wouldn't be practical to get photos of each and every hardware kit for them.

  • Towing and Tongue Weight Capacity on the Curt Hitch # 13333 that Fits a 2010 Ram Pickup
    As for towing capacity, the hitch will work fine. However, the tongue weight you provided will be an issue with this hitch. Tongue weight is usually 10 - 15 percent of the trailer weight, in your trailer's case, between 495 - 750 lbs. If your total tongue weight, a loaded ready to tow trailer and any weight behind the rear axle of you tow vehicle, is over 600 lbs, then this could cause failure of the hitch. Because you are already really close to the tongue weight limit, I recommend...

    The Extendable Hitch Mounted Step part # 288-08400 that you referenced is adjustable which means the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the shank to the outer edge of the step can be adjusted to anywhere from 17-7/8" to 24-7/8". If you then measured from the center of the hitch pin holes to the outer end of the bumper on your 2016 Ram 1500 you would then be able to determine how far it would stick out from the bumper.

    The hitches we carry for the 2013 Ram 1500 are not also fits for a 2010 Ram 2500/3500. So for your 2013 Ram you would want the Draw Tite Hitch part # 41948 as it is a Class V hitch confirmed to fit.

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500
    I spoke with my contact at Curt regarding the issue you had installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13333 on your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. He said what you are describing sounds like your particular Ram was built before 11-1-2002. The issue is that the 2003 model Ram was kind of a split year, so if the truck was actually built before 11-1 then the correct hitch is the Curt # 13326. The Curt # 13333 that you tried to install is for models built after 11-1-2002. To further verify this you can take...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch 13333 Fit a 2018 Ram 1500?
    Yes it will! I can confirm for you that the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13333 WILL fit a 2018 Ram 1500 so long as your truck does not have a factory hitch. I have also added a photo for you showing how this hitch looks when installed on an '18 Ram. It's easy to see how this might be confusing but technically there is no such thing as a 2018 Dodge Ram; in 2010 Ram trucks became its own brand, separate from Dodge.

  • 2005 Dodge Ram Trailer Wiring Recommendation
    Since your 2005 Dodge Ram does not have trailer wiring currently you'd need to start with a 4-way like the part # C55504 since your truck does not have factory wiring at all. If the 4-way is all you need then you'd be set as-is. If you need to move on to a 7-way you'll need additional components as well. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 to Tow a 4,500 Pound Trailer
    Curt trailer hitch # 14361 would certainly do the trick and it does fit your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4. But this hitch might be a bit of an overkill since its capacity is 10,000 pound gross trailer weight. It is a great option if you will be towing a heavier trailer in the future. But if you do not anticipate towing any more than the 4,500 pound trailer then I recommend hitch # 13333 which is rated for 6,000 pound gross trailer weight and 600 pounds tongue weight.

    I certainly can understand your concern for the the top bolt of the Curt hitch part # 13333 being exposed to weather and causing rust potentially. But due to how many of these we have sold and us not getting any feedback that the bolt ended up getting rusted I would agree with Curt and say it's totally fine.

  • Ball Mount Compatible with Curt # 13333 Hitch on 2011 Dodge Ram
    We do not currently offer a package deal that includes the hitch, ball mount and ball, but we do offer a ball mount and ball kit, part # EBMK4. The kit includes a ball mount, and a Convert-A-Ball interchangeable ball system with a 1-7/8 and a 2 inch trailer ball, pin and clip and storage bag. When this kit is combined with the Curt # 13333 hitch you referenced, you'll be set with an economical towing system.
