Recommended Trailer Hitch for 1997 Dodge B3500 Van

Question

Question:

My van is a B3500 with a rear gas tank. The filler neck for the gas tank will need to pass thru or around the hitch. The B1500 has a mid mounted gas tank. I need to know which hitch will fit my van. Thanks

The Curt # 13590 is confirmed to fit on the 1997 Dodge B3500 that has the factory step bumper. If your van doesn't have the step bumper, an option is the Curt # C13041.

Both are designed for the Dodge Vans and are built to accomodate the different styles.
