Will Draw-Tite Front Receiver Block Air Flow to Intercooler or Radiator on a 2016 Ram 3500
Question:
When installed on my 2016 Ram 3500 diesel truck, will it impede air flow to the intercooler or radiator? I will be driving this truck from Seattle to central Mexico and back each year over 6000 miles round trip in high heat.

Expert Reply:
At best the Draw-Tite front receiver # 65063 would only have a slight effect if any on air flow to the intercooler or radiator on your 2016 Ram 3500 so no worries about overheating. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
If you had something installed in the receiver then that could block air flow to the front of the truck but it depends on what it is and the dimensions of the cargo. For example bikes in a front hitch won't block as much air as coolers or some other solid object.
