Gooseneck trailer hitch installation kit # 4457 is designed for certain 2010 and newer Ram 2500 and 3500 series trucks. It is not a fit for your 2003. The installation kit by itself for your 2003 Ram 1500 is # 4438. But these are just the installation kits, not the whole gooseneck hitch and installation kit.

For hitch and install kit you can use # 9464-38, # 8339-4438, or # 6300-4438. I have also included a link to all of the gooseneck and install kits that will fit your truck.
