Specifically designed for a serious towing machine, this rugged trailer hitch receiver features the strong, durable construction that your heavy-duty applications require. The secure side-bracket design and all-frame attachment system ensure maximum stability. The cast center section lets you pile on the tongue weight without any worries.

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.

Easy installation if everything cooperates. It would be difficult for a single person laying on the ground. Also make sure you spray some sort of lubricant on your bolts that go through the frame. I broke the welds on the welded nuts inside the frame on two of them. Had to burn them off of the torch and fish new bolts into the frame. Also don't Yank on the wires that thread onto the bolts to make them out of shape. They won't fit through the holes if you bend them. Other than a few little problems on my end, everything with the hitch lined up perfectly. It's a nice heavy hitch.

It took a bit of doing, which was more an issue with my specific truck, but with some extra 'oomph' we were able to install this hitch in a relatively short time. Am important addition to my vehicle, at a reasonable price point. Ordering and delivery were both quick and painless. I'll order from you guys again when the need arises!

Garbage! This thing was a nightmare to install. It took 2 floor jacks and a dead blow hammer to get it in place, only to find that It was tweeked horribly. If your on a budget, get it. Just know you will need to grind all the holes bigger to make it fit. They will say it’s from metal movement, but that’s BS. It’s poorly packaged. There is no foam to protect the hitch at all. It’s only the cheapest cardboard China has to offer. Upon receiving the hitch the box looked like it had been attacked by a T-Rex. If I hadn’t needed the hitch when it was delivered, I would of sent it back. I gave it 2 stars only because it was cheap.(you get what you pay for…..)

I rarely do a review, but I need to bring this to your attention. The hitch seams very well built but the way the holes lined up with the M-14 bolts lined up with hitch to truck frame was a big challenge! Unless the hitch was bent in shipping (the box was torn and taped up) then you need to fix this. After I was able to start the bolts that you provided with only a little difficulty. I had to use a large pry-bar to rack over your hitch so I could align the holes in the truck frame to reinstall the M-14 bolts. Even with this 2 of the 4 M-14 were cross treaded. So, I had to use a very large power handle to force these bolts tight. The spare tire was not much of a problem or in the way with the install. I have done labor in construction for 40 years, maintenance work and just installed a water pump on my truck. So, I'm not without experience. This took me 4 hours to install...not reasonable. KS

Thank you for your concern! It is not uncommon for hitches to be flexed from the shipping process. It sounds like you were able to muscle through and get er done. We do have an article for straightening flexed hitches if this should happen again in the future.

I gave this hitch a 5 star rating, this is for the hitch itself.
The install was greatly added by the use of the fish wires for the bolts.
It took about 3 hours to install this hitch, the fit was extremely tight,
with a floor jack under the hitch and almost picking the truck off the floor
it still took a 4# hammer and a block of wood to persuade the hitch into the frame
after loosening the upper bumper crossmember bolts, the rearmost factory bolts then took two pry bars and four hands to get the last bolt started. Once finally started the bolts pulled the hitch up into position and swaged the hitch into the bumper braces.
The hitch seems to be well built and heavy duty the only problem is the alignment of the two rearmost holes and the extremely snug fit.
The hitch also looks good after the installation was complete, I didn't get a picture of the installed hitch, this was on my son inlaws pickup.
by: Tyler08/21/2019
The fitment was tight and snug, the use of a rubber mallet and a second set of hands is necessary. Construction is very stout and well built. My hitch arrived with some scratches to bare metal in the paint finish, kind of unfortunate since they were on the outside where they'll probably show rust soon. The two middle holes mounting to the framerails did not line up, I had to use a carbide grinding bit to widen the holes in order for the bolts to line up and thread in. With that added time, It took about 45min to complete. Fishing the carriage bolts through the frame was not hard at all. This overall fit well and will allow me to pull a trailer with my '12 Ram 1500 ST.

I am wondering if the hitch side bracket is flexed. Would you be able to send a picture of where the bolt is? If it is flexed, I do have a FAQ that can help move it back into alignment.

This hitch is a little bit more rugged than what i will probably need, but I’m glad I bought this one. Shipping was right on schedule. A few minor scratches in the paint but I blame the delivery driver. Hitch was slightly bent from being tossed around during delivery so it took a little bit of maneuvering to line the bolt holes up. Once lined up it went in easy. Probably around 1.5 hours for install time. 19mm and 21mm sockets. Pull wires definitely made it a lot easier. Video explained installation perfectly. Looks great on the truck, have not tried it out yet but I can’t wait to! I’ve bought a few products from etrailer and I’m happy every time. They know their stuff. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone!

Love the receiver hitch. It was not that hard to put on and it looks great too..Will be pulling open and enclosed trailers. I submitted a picture of the hitch installed.
Thanks again Adam and Stacey for everything.

etrailer.com was very helpful with the specifications for trailer hitches, and sent their recommended hitch to us very quickly.
*** Installation was a nightmare. ***
When we first tried to install it from underneath, none of the holes could be aligned. We removed the bumper, and the rear cross-member (that the bumper was bolted to), so that we could assemble it on the ground before putting it in, and it still needed modification. Putting the bolts though with a string as instructed was not a simple task, but it was the easiest part of this installation. The instructions are vague. Once the assembly was put back into the truck, 4 of the remaining holes needed to be modified (the furthest forward in the truck and the middle holes).
It hard to understand how Draw-Tite got the holes to be mis-aligned this much.
It took a day of grinding and some pry bars to get it in.
If I didn't need it soon, I would have sent it back.
The hitch does look and feel strong now.

The Draw Tite Ultra frame is a beautifully made trailer hitch and very beefy. It looks great and fits perfect. Though it is an Extremely tight fit and took two people to install it about 45 minutes. Highly recommended.

Hitch went on great after some slight persuasion with a pry bar to line up the factory holes. I thankfully had an impact wrench on hand which made installtion that much better. All in all it took me about hour that from the time i started dropping the spare tire to securing the spare tire. Feels very strong fit nice and snug. The fish wire for the bolts was really handy!

Shipping was a little sketchy, as you can tell from the photo. Not etrailer’s fault...looks like the shipping company didn’t even slow down when they delivered it. Either way, all the parts/hardware were present. Pretty easy install and it seems solid. Haven’t hauled anything yet but I don’t think it is going to be an issue with this thing. Took a little longer than expected, mostly bc I did it alone. Watch the [online] install video. Helped a good bit.

Very strong and a good fit, a line up pry bar is a big help because it is a tight fit to line up those holes. Hitch is not very intrusive and it tucks nicely under the bumper. Very happy with it and it took me about 50 minutes to install and I didn't even skin my knuckles lol.

Fast shipping and easy install! Installed in on my 2016 Ram 1500. Just followed the video and had it on in about an hour. Pretty tight fit just had to shimmy it in there for a second then went right into place. A second pair of hands makes it so much easier. Possible alone if you have some stands to hold it in place I guess. Really happy with it, looks clean!

- Does Draw Tite Hitch 41948 Fit 2017 Ram 1500Since sometimes there is confusion between what a hitch and a reciever is I think best option would be for you to take a picture of the rear of your truck so that I can see exactly what's going on. Reciever and hitch are the same thing but sometimes people will refer to a ball mount as a hitch or reciever. So what we need to do is clarify the terminology and figure out exactly what you have. If your 2017 Ram 1500 does NOT have a factory hitch then the Draw Tite part # 41948 will fit and...

- Which Class IV Hitch Do I Need for a 2019 Ram 1500 ClassicYou are correct that there are differences between the frames on the 2019 Ram 1500 and the Ram 1500 Classic. The correct Draw-Tite Class IV hitch for the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Cast Center - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # 41948. This is a custom fit hitch, so no drilling will be required during installation.

For your 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi with a Quad Cab I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41948 which is rated for 12,000 lb Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 1,500 lbs Tongue Weight (TW). When you add a Weight Distribution (WD) system to this hitch your GTW will be raised to 15,000 lbs and your TW will stay at 1,500 lbs. Even though it...

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Weight Distribution System for a 2016 Ram 1500A trailer hitch receiver that's rated for 6,000 pounds towing is almost certainly a Class III hitch. The receiver opening will be 2 inches as well. A Class II trailer hitch generally maxes out at 3,500 pounds and is a 1-1/4 inch opening. I'd be really surprised if your 2016 Ram 1500 has a Class II hitch on it. With that being said I'm not sure it really matters because it sounds like what you really need a hitch that's rated higher than 6,000 pounds regardless of what Class it's considered....

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...

We do have options like this for 2500 and 3500 pickups but that is for heavy duty towing where dual receivers are required. For your 1500 this is the only way to have at least a Class IV trailer hitch. An installation video and the written instructions have been linked for you to check out.

view full answer... - Recommendation for Removing Stuck Ball Mount from ReceiverThe best way to remove a ball mount that is stuck in the hitch receiver is to spray it liberally with WD-40 or PB Blaster, let it sit for awhile, and then alternate hitting it in various directions with a rubber mallet. It is best to let the lubricant sit for a little bit before using the mallet so that it has a chance to work its way into the receiver, and it may take quite a few times of doing this to get the ball mount to release. You can take off the OEM receiver from your 2011 Ram...

According to Draw-Tite it is compatible with all models of 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. The only thing to note is that it will only fit so long as you do not already have a factory hitch installed on your truck.

If that was what you were planning on doing you'd be set.

But if instead you have a lower hitch opening below the bumper we wouldn't have a fit for that configuration.
view full answer... - Will Aftermarket Trailer Hitch Increase Tongue Weight Capacity on 2014 Ram Longhorn Limited If your 2014 Ram Longhorn Limited features a factory tongue weight capacity of 760 pounds this cannot be increased by adding an aftermarket product like a new trailer hitch. Even if the aftermarket hitch has a higher tongue weight rating, you will still be limited by your truck's base capacity. Other components on the truck such as its engine, transmission, and axle axle ratio all contribute to the truck's capacity so replacing a single part will not actually increase its overall rating...

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a FAQ that can assist with moving the side brackets of the hitch back into alignment to allow for installation. I also recommend touching up the hitch with a rust resistant paint which you will have on hand for regular hitch maintenance.
