The SuperTruss extension # TLE1548 is designed to work with TorkLift SuperHitch trailer hitches only. You can add one to your 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 using # TLD1102. Then you would be able to use the extension. With this set up the extension will have a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds.

How much extension do you need? If you do not need 48 inches then there could be some other options that would not require the addition of a SuperHitch.
