  • Front Mounted Hitch Receiver for 2015 Ram 3500 Tradesman
  • We do indeed have front mounted receivers that are compatible with the 2015 Ram 3500 Tradesman model. If your Ram has the front mounted tow hooks that protrude through the bumper (see photo), you can use the Draw-Tite Front Receiver, part # 65063. If your truck isn't equipped with the tow hooks, you'd need to use the Curt # C31015 which mounts to the frame members rather than the tow hooks. If you click the provided link, you can see a video showing the Draw-Tite model being installed...
