Front-Mount Hitch Receiver for Use on 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup

Question

Question:

I have a 2004 Dodge 2500. I am looking for a front mount receiver. I am looking at the model 31320 and saw the reviews about it fitting, but it seemed they were all on 1500 models. My question is, does this fit the 2500 without any drilling or modifications. Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31320 that you referenced is a fit for the Ram 1500 but not the 2500 series. We do offer two options in a front-mount 2-inch hitch for your 2500 that can be seen on the link provided.

Both the Draw-Tite # 65046 and the Curt # C31017 will require some trimming of the front air dam as well as some drilling. There is not currently a no-drill/no-trim hitch option for your truck.

You might care to refer to the two linked articles and the install videos for both hitches.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.
