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!

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.

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 Dodge Ram 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.

2013 Dodge Ram 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.

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: Norman12/03/2019
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.

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: Granny L03/30/2017
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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

- Difference Between Curt Trailer Hitch # 13333 and etrailer.com # e98852 Have no fear. The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13333 that you ordered is a perfect fit and will work great on your 2017 Ram 1500. It will line right up to existing holes in the truck's frame rails for a simple no-drill installation. There are quite a few hitches available that are designed to fit your truck and the etrailer.com Class III Hitch # e98852 that you also mentioned just happens to fall within this group. This is pretty much identical to the hitch you purchased but with a...

If you're not planning on towing anything heaver than 6000 lbs (10,000 lbs if using weight distribution), a simple choice like # 13333 would work great for you. If you'd prefer a higher capacity hitch that would allow you to tow up to 15000 lbs (16000 lbs with weight distribution), use # C15572. The capacity of this hitch is actually greater than that of the truck, but if you're wanting a hitch that would be ready...

- Is Curt Hitch # 13333 Rated for Weight DistributionThe Curt hitch part # 13333 is rated for use with weight distribution systems. This hitch has a capacity of 6,000 lb trailer weight without a WD system and then with a WD system is rated for up to 10,000 lbs. Either way it would have capacity for a 5,900 lb trailer. The bumper towing capacity of your truck is related to if you were to use the ball hole of the bumper to tow from. That said, you should look up the towing capacity of your truck in your owners manual and be sure not to exceed...

If your truck was built before November 1, 2002, you will need to install a trailer hitch that was designed specifically for that truck. I have attached a link to all of the trailer hitches that will fit your truck if it was built before November 1, 2002 for you to check out.

It features a simple bolt-on install. The instructions say to return the cap to the owner as it will not be reinstalled. That said, it looks like we were able to snap the cap back into place once the hitch was installed. I only saw one example of the cap not fitting back over the bolt. That said, if the bolt is torqued to spec it should be able to be reinstalled.
view full answer... - Class IV Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 to Replace Class III Curt HitchSounds like you have the Curt Class III hitch part # 13333 installed on your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 based on what you described and the fact Curt did not make the OEM hitches for your truck. So for a higher rated hitch that fits your truck we have the Curt Class IV hitch part # 14361 which is a fit and has a much higher towing capacity at 10,000 lbs trailer weight.

view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt Class IV with Spare Tire of 2013 Ram 1500 STThe rearmost frame cross member or bumper beam of your Ram is essentially the OEM hitch minus the receiver opening. The OEM hitch can be completed so to speak using the Curt # 13333 which would provide a capacity of 6,000 lb gross towing/ 600 lb tongue weight. In order to achieve a higher tongue weight capacity (10,000 GTW/1,00TW), you would need to use the Curt Class IV # 14374 that uses the frame members for its two forward-most attachment points and the bumper beam for its rear attachment...

For your application you will need to either customize a fit for that part or use a different style like the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch Receiver for 4" x 4" Bumpers # UF35-946401 which could be bolted to a strong frame crossbeam for your unique need. Another option is to use the Reese Towpower 3-Way ATV Hitch w/ Ball Mount Adapter - 2,000 lbs # RP7065100 for this custom application.

This is also where Dodge welds on the factory hitch for trucks that have it. The hitch you choose, no matter where it installs, needs to have the capacity to handle the loaded car hauler. The truck also needs to be rated high enough. The highest capacity hitch for the 1500 series is # C15572 rated for 1500 pounds tongue weight and 15,000...

It adds less to the rear of your truck maintaining the factory appearance. Outside of that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13333 does have its place. This hitch will allow you to use weight distribution. While both hitches allow You 600 lbs. tongue weight and 6000 lb. gross trailer weight those numbers go up to 1000lbs and 10000 lbs. when using weight distribution. That...

I have included a link to a video showing and example installation of this hitch for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4.

Since you have their class III bumper this part will bolt to the bumper and best off all it only takes 3 bolts. This receiver will allow you to carry up to 600lbs for a hitch mounted accessory. I find the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack # SH22B is one of the easiest bike racks to use. Its light at only 32lbs and allows you to carry 2 bikes up to 40lbs each.
view full answer... - Brake Controller and Hitch Recommendation for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500A travel trailer that's 20-24 feet in length is going to have brakes on it that will need to be activated when towing so you'll need a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, and 50 mm Hitch Ball Recommendation for a 2003 Dodge RamIn order to use the hitch ball part # 63912 in the ball mount part # D-4 you will need to use a hitch ball bushing part # C21100 since the shank of the hitch ball is 3/4 inch in diameter and the hole of the ball mount is 1 inch. The ball mount will fit the hitch part # 13333 as-is though. For a hitch pin you would want part # PC3 or for a locking hitch pin # e98880.

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...
view full answer... - Do You Recommend the Curt 13333 or 13374 Hitch for a 2020 Ram 1500 ClassicFor your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13333. The reason I recommend this hitch over the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13374 is because of the installation process and it being the more economical option. Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13333 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13374 will provide you with a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000 lbs. and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs. So you are not sacrificing any weight...
view full answer... - Ball Mount Compatible with Curt # 13333 Hitch on 2011 Dodge RamWe 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.

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.
