i have just received package yesterday. the outside of package showed much damage as the item had no packing support such as bubble wrap or padding. i will update review after installation to let you know of any damage.

Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because it got bent in shipping. Not a lot but enough to not bolt up to the factory bumper bolts strait on. Once I got it lined up correctly it was no problem. Looks good and it definitely sturdy. Will have no problem pulling little pop up camper we plan on getting.

Outstanding customer service!! They were very courteous and helpful with my order over the phone. Handling/Shipping time was fast as well and order arrived within a couple of days. The Curt Class IV hitch for my son-in-law's 2014 Ram ST Crew Cab was just what it needed. It was easy to install with the supplied hardware and instructions.

Easy ordering. Prompt delivery. Good product
by: Stephen K.04/06/2017
The class 3 trailer hitch I ordered was just delivered to my residents by UPS on time. This is the 1st. time I ordered anything from E Trade. A short time after I placed the ordered for the hitch that I wanted I received a call from a sales rep. He informed me they did not have that item in stock and it was going to take a little longer to get it. I informed him I needed in in a shorter time frame and he was able to help me make a change in selecting a different hitch. The hitch is not on truck yet ( this weekend) but so far I'am pleased with ETrade.
by: Gary09/22/2019
I'm 67 years old with suspect shoulders but with the help of a floor jack I was able to do the installation by myself and it went very easily. One note however, the original frame bolts on the 2019 Ram 1500 Classics are metric but a 13/16 spark plug socket fits them well.
by: Steve 12/21/2023
Great service and easy to order from Adam. He got us set up with our application and walked us through the process.

Wow. Ground shipped. Received in two days. Installed In about and hour by myself. Rigged up two floor jacks with a board between jacks and the hitch. Cranked it up into position and bolted it in.
As you can see from pic, it is pretty concealed.
by: John 05/27/2023
Good quality trailer hitch. Shipped quickly and overall very happy. The only hang up was there was difficulty with the installation as the exhaust pipe was placed too close to where it was supposed to be mounted to the truck. This made installing much more challenging to shimmy the assembly into place for proper mounting. This added an extra hour and headache to the install.
by: Rafael Gonzalez04/15/2016
Just received the curt tow hitch today and it came in pretty bad shape parts of it were sticking out from the box. A lot of scratches, shipped paint from rubbing on the floor (hopefully it doesn't rust now) some scratches/dents are very deep in others not too bad. I'm more worried about the deep ones that can cause it to rust. I'll send you some pictures.

Received quickly in 2 days. Fit correctly no problems went right on. I would have given five stars but the packaging was not good one end of the bar was sticking out of the box and the powder coat was scratched. I would definitely recommend this hitch it looks clean and installs easy.

2017 Ram 1500
Excellent quality, easy installation. Put this on in my driveway in less than an hr by myself. Except for the 45 pound weight, it's not much of a problem. You may need help depending on that. Very clean made product. Mine may or may not ever see weight it is capable of towing, but for not much more cost i think it is worth having.

We were at all times email when the item was being shipped and if we needed additional information to contact them for help. It came sooner than expected. It was absolutely perfect for our truck. It was super easy to instal. We are READY to pull our travel trailer. Will definitely recommend etrailer 110%

2016 Ram 1500
I installed this by myself in the rain!! It's literally that easy, and the tube steel looks amazing. The "how to" video for my exact truck was a huge plus for reference. Now my 2016 ram 1500 is actually a truck! I plan on using a trailer to keep my truck from getting scratched and dented with yard work.

2013 Ram 1500
Product came within 2 days as I requested 2 day shipping. Got it last night around 6 pm. Got up this morning and installed the hitch. I've never installed one and it took me about 30-45 minutes. It was simple and fast. Bolted right up with no issues. Very impressed with this product. It looks clean and everything sits level. Can't wait to put it to use this weekend.

2016 Ram 1500
Product was as advertised and the installation was very easy. everything fit without perfect. I'm not a big guy and I installed it by myself with the car parked on a flat surface. Took me 35 minutes for install. Only concern was that the box was badly damaged during shipping, thankfully product was in good condition and all hardware was there.

Product has been great. The finish on the hitch receiver has held up beautifully. Thanks for checking.

The box was in pretty rough shape, but all the fasteners were there. The install was easier than I thought it would be. I'm 74, and I installed it by myself.

2014 Ram 1500
My review is close to others. Yes the shipping was fast, box was beat up. That didn’t bother me. It was an easy install (goes better with 2 people) of course but i made due. How ever the holes did not line up like others have stated and had some minor issues which the repair shop will have to address. Once that is done i look forward to pulling my camper this spring.
by: KenT10/23/2019
Great product that had a factory fit. No problems whatsoever and the install was super easy with the provided instructions. Would definitely buy again.

Great product! Needed a hitch for my Ram 1500, gave etrailer a shot. They were the cheapest I could find. First one that was mailed was bent(first picture). Lazer was a huge help. Excellent customer service! Helped facilitate a hassle free return and sent a new one right away. Would be five stars, if I hadn't tried to fight to get the bent one on by bending it back, as I was instructed to do by another employee(not Lazer). Wasted 3 hours and a lot of patience. Only took about 30 minutes to get the replacement on. Loops great on my truck, can't wait to put it to use!! Thanks etrailer and Lazer!
by: Adrian07/25/2022
Great quality,very clear instructions relatively easy to install with two people. 100% recommend

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Class IV Receiver Hitch for 2019 Dodge Ram 1500There are two Class IV trailer hitches that fit your 2019 Ram 1500 the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 14374 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75232. Both of these trailer hitches have a 2" receiver, 10,000 lb maximum towing capacity and 1,000 lb maximum tongue weight capacity. They are bolt-on installations so you will not have to drill to install either on your truck. I have added a link to installs of both hitches on a '19 Ram 1500 Classic for you.
view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Hitch 14374 Fit 2019 Ram 1500 WarlockAs long as your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock doesn't have the factory hitch the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" part # 14374 is a fit without drilling. I have attached an installation video for your reference. If you plan on doing some towing you may consider the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball,...
view full answer... - Recommended Class IV Trailer Hitch For 2021 Ram 1500 ClassicFor your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV # 14374 for a few key reasons. This hitch is made right here in the USA, and in our experience the powder coat finish found on the Curt hitches holds up the best over time keeping the hitch looking great and preventing rust for years to come. Keep in mind that this hitch is only designed for trucks that did not come with a factory trailer hitch, and there is not a Class IV hitch that fits the trucks with...
view full answer... - Dimensions of Curt Class III Hitch # 14374I have edited a photo for you which shows the bolt hole spacing, measured center to center. I have also provided the drop of the receiver, which is the distance from the top of the receiver tube to the top of the hitch mounting flanges. Keep in mind, this hitch is custom fit for a 2009-2013 Dodge Ram 1500. Altering the hitch to fit your Ford F150 may have an unknown effect on the weight bearing capacity of the hitch, and will also void any warranty coverage.

- Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Ram 1500 w/ a Factory Hitch Yes, you can install a heavier duty hitch on your 2018 Ram 1500. You will need to remove the factory hitch first there are no options to add one and keep the factory hitch. Once this is done I recommend replacing it with the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 14374. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ram with included hardware. The Curt item # 14374 has plenty of towing capacity for your 7,000 lbs trailer. It maxes out at 10,000 lbs without a weight distribution system and 12,000 lbs when...
view full answer... - Can The Factory Receiver On a 2017 RAM 1500 Be Replaced With a Stronger Class IV Receiver? To install a receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 14374 your 2017 Ram 1500 you will have to remove the factory rear bumper along with the receiver. The Curt and other aftermarket receivers are designed to fit the factory class III rear bumper. Do note you will also need to ensure your Ram can handle the additional weight. Your local Ram dealer will be able to help you determine if your truck will be capable of supporting the additional tongue weight and trailer weight.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Ram 15002020 was a split model year for the Ram 1500, with two distinct models that use different hitch fits, the Ram 1500 Classic which is a carryover of the 2019 model or the all-new 2020 Ram 1500. If you have the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, the # 14374 you'd looked at would be a great choice, and would provide a 10000 lb towing/1000 lb tongue weight capacity for standard towing or # 12000 lbs towing/1200 lb tongue weight if used with weight distribution. If you have the all-new 2020 Ram, and you're...
view full answer... - Will the Curt Hitch part # C15572 fit a 2014 Ram 1500 with Dual ExhaustThere are no exhaust styles that the Curt Hitch part # C15572 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit. That means it would be totally compatible with your 2014 Ram 1500 with dual exhaust as long as you don't have the factory hitch.
view full answer... - Can OEM Hitch on 2015 Ram 1500 Be Welded to Frame to Increase Towing CapacityIf you remove the OEM hitch on your 2015 Ram 1500 and install a heftier hitch like the Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch # 14374 you'll have a hitch that can handle 10,000 lbs towing and 1,000 lbs tongue. I don't have the authority or ability to say that welding parts of your hitch will increase weight ratings - that's something you'll have to get in writing from a dealer. With all of that being said, I do recommend checking out the weight rating of your actual truck prior to swapping out the...
view full answer... - Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # 14374 and Part # C15572 Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14374 is made of 1/4" thick metal and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15572 is made of 3/8" thick metal. They are both a fit for your 2018 Ram 1500. The class IV hitch is about 49 lbs and the class V hitch is about 51 lbs. The profile is the same.
view full answer... - Mounting Hole Dimensions For Curt Trailer Hitch On 2014 Dodge Ram 1500I have attached a drawing of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 14374 you can check out. This hitch is designed to be a fit for your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. You are correct that the measurement is 8-7/8 inches between the 2 front mounting holes. This is the outside to outside dimension. The center-to-center measurement is 7-3/4 inches. I have attached a link to an installation video for this hitch on a 2013 Ram you can check out. If you plan on towing I recommend the etrailer.com...

- Trailer Hitch Option for a 2011 Ram 1500 Bighorn with OEM Hitch Under the BumperAll of the aftermarket trailer hitches that we carry for your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Bighorn state that they will not fit with a factory installed hitch, however, this typically refers to the factory hitches that hang below the rear bumper. I have heard of towing bumpers on Ram trucks, but I am not familiar with a Ram OEM hitch that uses the rear bumper. To determine if one of our trailer hitches will fit on your truck, you will want to look at the round cross tube that runs between the...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Upgrade for 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 HemiThe factory receiver hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs towing and 500 lb tongue weight. A weight distribution system is recommended for trailers over 5,000 lbs according to the manufacturer's towing guide. For the tongue weight you desire, you can use a Class III hitch or heigher with a weight distribution system. My suggestion is to go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV - 2" # 14374 or the Class V options of # C15572 or # 41948. These all have a 2 inch receiver openings and...
view full answer... - Can the Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch e98852 for a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Be Used For Heavy TowingI do have an option for you but in order to tow a trailer that size with your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic you are going to need a frame mount trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14374 is what I recommend as it offers simple bolt-on installation. The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98852 would not be sufficient. I will say that if you are going to be towing that heavy of a trailer then you will need to install either a set of suspension enhancements like the Timbren...

This Curt hitch has a 2" receiver, 10,000 lb towing capacity and 1,000 lb tongue weight capacity. it is a bolt-on installation so you will not have to drill to install either on your truck.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Ram Pickup with Factory Bumper HitchFor your 2011 Ram 1500 without a factory hitch, I recommend the Class IV hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # 14374. You could use an adjustable ball mount, like # C45900. This adjustable ball mount fits 2 inch hitch receivers, has a 6 inch drop, a 5 inch rise, and is rated for use with trailers up to 14,000 pounds. Because of the weight of your trailer, I also recommend using a weight distribution system. I have attached a help article with common questions about weight distribution...
view full answer... - Higher Rated Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500 Than Bumper of TruckYes, going with a frame mounted trailer hitch will give you more capacity than towing with the ball mount hole you have on the rear bumper of your 2017 Ram 1500. This will allow you to utilize the full towing capacity of the truck. The Curt hitch part # 13333 is a confirmed fit for your truck and installs easily so it would be a great option as long as you weren't planning on towing over 6,000 lbs as that is the hitch's capacity. If you do need more towing capacity than that you'd need...
view full answer... - Availability of a Class V Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500The reason that aftermarket hitches cannot be installed on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 with a factory installed trailer hitch is because the hitch is welded to the rear cross member and cannot be removed. It the hitch on your truck was installed by the dealer and is bolted on, it can be removed and a new hitch installed in its place. If the hitch is bolted on, we do not carry a Class V hitch for your truck, but we do have a Class IV rated and 1,000 pounds tongue weight capacity and 10,000 pounds...
view full answer... - Should Curt Trailer Hitch Be Crooked on 2019 Ram 1500 Classic The Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch # 14374 really shouldn't look crooked when mounted to your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. The frame brackets on each side of the hitch are of an equal height so unless something was off on the frame rails of the truck the hitch should appear level. You can certainly try loosening up a couple bolts and re-tightening them to make sure everything is secure. I know it sounds silly but also make sure the truck is parked on completely level ground when examining the...

This will up to 12,000 pounds and 1,200 pounds when weight distribution is used as well. However, it should be noted that these capacities may be more than your truck can handle.
