The hitch went on easily! I had a couple extra hands to help as it is a bit unwieldy by yourself. But the installation was straight forward and all the hardware arrived with the hitch. This is my second hitch purchase from etrailer, they are fast, and helpful. The first hitch I installed on a 2015 Cherokee, it arrived missing a couple grade V nuts. After calling the support line with the part number I had the missing pieces in a couple days!

A year in and the hitch is great! No issues and I feel like I can count on it working for as long as I have my truck!

Order arrived quickly. Box was a bit chewed up but the hitch was ok. We had a lot of rain and so I waited about a week before me and my grandson installed the hitch. The hitch bolted up exactly as expected. First impression is that it is very well built and I anticipate years of good service from it. Would recommend it to others. Going with the class 5 was the right decision. I may not need that much towing capacity but it is nice to know it is there.



by:

Great is the correct word. I need to tow my 8000 lb . boat trailer. The web site gives out the right information and I was able to choose Curt class v . Ordered on Friday and the part was here on Saturday. I followed the instructions and got it installed Sunday. I am 74 years old and I got the hitch installed in about two hours by myself. The parts fits perfect and I did the whole job by myself. I would advise two would be lot easier. The associates at e trailer are superb . I would recommend any one to do business with them.

The product i have no problem with. Its Perfect for what i need.
The shipping WAS a nightmare, missing for days and after a week got delivered, with missing hardware, multiple holes on the box it came with and scratches.
Thankfully the customer service was awesome and they came to rescue me with sending the replacement parts in a timely manner to do the installation.
Thank you Samantha!



by:

the instructions are photocopied crap black and white on the lowest resolution the only reason this isnt a lower score is its seem well built and after some searching found the random youtube video info i needed. The diagram was good enough to go off to figure out how to put it together.

Bruce, I have not heard of this before on this hitch. Would it be possible to send a picture of the brackets?

Not a year. Its only been a couple of weeks and I still had to drill several holes to mount this hitch and the brackets to hang the bumper with were completely wrong.

Excellent communication, super fast shipping! 72 years old, I put it on and removed the factory class 3 myself. Every part fit perfect. 2020 Ram 1500

2023Ram1500

Part fit perfectly. The box came damaged and the bumper brackets were missing. Contacted etrailer and they shipped the missing parts the next day. Easy and quick installation. Did it by myself in about 90 minutes! Was initially concerned when description said "heat shield needs to be modified" however turned out to be a quick fix with a hammer!

Fit and works as described

relatively easily but not for the novice or the faint of heart.

Wish instructions came in color, although you can download color instructions!

Important to read directions first, doing that everything went exactly as described and fit perfectly, best to have a helper, a bit heavy doing it by myself but was able to get it done.

2023Ram1500

This hitch fit perfectly on my truck and I’m now able to tow my travel trailer. A couple of notes though.. the instructions were hard to follow along. If they were a bit more detailed it would be better to understand. A video would be superb to follow along to. Also, the connector that it has us disconnect for the bumper wires is not the one that is needed. It’s a bit further down and a pain to take off. Overall it was an easy install just takes a bit of time!

2023Ram1500

I'm sure the product is great. However the customer service and return policy is not. I found this product via a google search and never used etrailers before. I drive a 2023 Ram 1500 Classic. This product is for a Ram 1500. Yes if I would have narrowed down the search via the website by going their first instead via google I would have not purchased this as it is the wrong fitment. However on the page for this product there are two different sections that explain fitment. One at the top right and midway down on the left. Seeing that it does fit a 2023 1500 mid left and not knowing that Classic would cause a problem (as this usually means body style difference) I assumed I was good and never saw the other note for Classics. Explaining to etrailers that their website should hold this information in ONE spot to make sure customers have a user friendly site meant nothing to them neither did the added information that it would not fit a Classic as it was "unconfirmed" via the page also meant nothing to them. You would think this along with feedback of their site would provide value to offset the return shipping cost. Apparently not. "Customer Service" unfortunately like most customers service people today on the two times I spoke with her over the phone had the "tone". You can hear it in her voice (dealt with one person). Everyone knows what I mean by that. I'm sure Curt makes a good product...just buy it elsewhere.

PS: They also sent the wrong instructions. Sent me instructions for a Ford. Glad they can make mistakes and not pay with time or money. Had to get them emailed.

Was a simple install replacing my Class III hitch.
Instructions were good but picture in them where very bad. To dark to see.
Box received damaged probably because it is such a heavy item.



by:
2019 Dodge Ram Pickup

The installer said it was drilled for a 2019 Ram 1500, not the 2020 Ram 1500. It took adde effort to install it properly.



by:

Easy to navigate/find great parts that arrive fast!

Dodge Ram Pickup

I replaced the factory hitch receiver on my RAM 1500 Rebel after an accident that took out my bumper. The Curt Hitch Receiver was an easy install. The Curt hitch receiver is heavier and a much sturdier receiver than the OEM. Highly recommend this as a replacement or upgrade if you are towing any heavy trailers.



by:

I haven’t installed this hitch but it sure looks like a well built unit. It definitely has some weight to it. Fast shipping with 1 day service.

The hitch arrived in a damaged box and the mounting hardware and instructions were missing.

The hitch is unusable

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have sent your information along to our customer service team and they will be in touch. In the meantime, you may want to check the receiver tube as many hitches are shipped with the hardware and instructions stowed there.



by:

When I received the hitch in the mail the box was damaged and missing all of the hardware. I contacted etrailer and they shipped out replacement parts no questions asked! Great to work with!



by:
2019 Ram1500

The instructions were clear and the install went smoothly. After a year it’s still holding strong. I’ve used it to tow 2 tons of bricks on a few separate occasions and it worked fine. Highly recommend.

This hitch is heavy duty!!! It's installation is relatively easy IF you are handy with tools and mechanics. Towed my 12,000# travel trailer the day after installation. Hitch Worked Perfectly ! ! !

Excellent fit on my 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn. Easy to install, but it's a 2 man job, very heavy duty.

Great product and easy installation.

We installed the hitch this afternoon. The quality is excellent and it looks great as well.
The instructions we clear and concise with Words and pictures making installation much easier.
If it tows as good as it looks it will definitely be a 2 thumbs up purchase!

  • Does Curt Hitch C15005 for 2019 Ram 1500 Require Removal of Factory Trailer Hitch
    The Curt hitch part # C15005 does fit your 2019 Ram 1500 that has the factory Class III hitch but you will need to remove the factory hitch you have now for this to fit. Essentially this replaces the factory hitch and bumper beam which is why the factory hitch has to be removed. I attached a picture of what this looks like installed on a similar Ram truck as yours as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ram 1500 Towing Winnebago Micro Minnie
    You can use the Curt # C13419 on your 2020 Ram 1500 and it will handle the weight of your 3800-lbs Winnebago Micro Minnie trailer, however if you're ever planning on towing anything larger there is a better solution. I recommend using the Curt item # C15005 since you're likely going to be pretty close to the tongue weight capacity of the # C13419 and even the slightest upgrade in trailers at some point in the future could render it useless for towing. The Curt item # C15005 has a robust...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2019 Ram 1500 without Factory Hitch that is Rated for Weight Distribution
    For your 2019 Ram 1500 without the factory hitch we do have a hitch that is rated for use with weight distribution with the Draw Tite part # C15005 but the Curt # C13419 that you referenced is not rated for use with a WD system due to how it installs and the contact it makes with the truck frame. WD systems put additional stress on vehicle frames so you need the hitch to make a solid amount of contact with the truck to accommodate that.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Ram 1500 With Factory Hitch
    I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15005 for your 2022 Ram 1500. I like the Curt trailer hitch over the any other hitch because the Curt Hitch has a concealed cross tube and once installed with give you an off the factory clean look.

    If you have the class III tow bumper installed on your 2022 Ram 1500, the highest weight capacity rating on a hitch we carry that is compatible with the bumper is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15005. This hitch comes with an impressive 1,700 pounds of tongue weight and 15,000 pounds of gross towing weight capacity.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Ram 1500
    2020 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.

This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 15,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,700 lbs.

  • Where is the Receiver on a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 with 68265142AB Trailer Hitch
    There are two different trailer hitches for your 2019 Ram 1500 that came from the factory. There is one that has a 2" receiver tube opening below the bumper and one that has a cutout for a hitch ball in the bumper. It looks like you have the latter so there should be a plug in the center of the bumper that you can remove and then install a hitch ball like part # 63845. Is that is not the case or you would rather have a 2" receiver tube opening then you are going to want to remove the trailer...

  • Class V hitch for a 2021 Ram 1500 Warlock
    For your 2021 Ram 1500, I'd recommend the Curt item # C15005 Class V hitch. According to Curt, the hitch is compatible with all models of the 2021 Ram 1500, including your Warlock trim level. The hitch has a 15000 lb towing/1700 lb tongue weight capacity which is plenty for the boat you mentioned. You will want to verify the towing capacity of your truck, and be sure not to exceed that.

  • Recommended High Capacity Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ram 1500 Without Factory Hitch
    We've got exactly what you're looking for. The Draw-Tite Class IV hitch # 41913 has a huge 15000 lb towing/1700 lb tongue weight capacity that would work perfectly for you. You'll likely need to lower or temporarily remove the spare tire to make installation easier but once the install is complete, the hitch won't interfere with stowing the tire back where it came from.

  • Using Hitch Extender With Weight Distribution
    Using an extender such as the Brophy # ST18 might be possible, but it will depend on the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your truck. Using the extender will lower the hitch weight capacity by 1/3, so you'll want to find the ID label on the hitch which lists it weight distribution towing and tongue weight capacities. If 2/3 of the hitch towing and tongue weight capacity isn't less than the 360 lb tongue weight of the trailer, then using the extender would be okay. If the trailer's...

Since the hitches aren't interchangeable between the two, the hitch you need will depend on which model you have. How to tell the difference?

    The Class III OEM bumper mounted hitches for your 2022 Ram 1500 have a similar design to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13419 which is a simple 3-bolt installation that attaches to the bumper. It looks really clean but the bumper isn't a heavy-duty towing application so the pressure placed on it from a weight distribution system will be too much for the bolts, but from what I can see I'm not seeing any restrictions on using just sway control so something like the Tuson Asymmetric Sway...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing a Car Hauler with a 2019 Ram 1500
    The hitch to fit your 2019 Ram 1500 is the Curt # C15005. It's custom designed to fit your truck and has plenty of capacity to tow a car on a trailer. You also need a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip. I've linked our selections of each but you also may want to look at an adjustable ball mount. This way if you tow a different trailer sometime it'll be more likely to work for you. A good choice that has all three ball options is the Buyer's Products # 3371802225. You also need...

    For the New Body Style of the 2019 Ram 1500, I recommend the Curt # C15005 which will fit whether you have the factory hitch or the Class III tow bumper. This is a strong Class V trailer hitch which exceeds the max towing rating of your Ram 1500. Even though this is the case it is worth noting that this will not increase the weight rating of your pickup so that will be the limiting factor. You should already have a 7-Way on your Ram, but you may consider swapping out your current connection...
