Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch For 2011 Ram 3500 Pickup

Question:

I have a 2011 Ram 3500 that I want to put a class V receiver on. The problem is I have an aftermarket bumper. Is there a class V hitch that doesnt require the use of the factory bumper?

The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2011 Ram 3500 is the Draw-Tite, part # DT45518.

This is a Class V hitch and it has a 2-1/2 inch receiver opening. Per the attached instructions no mention is made of a bumper so it should fit just fine.

You might also be interested in a ball mount kit like part # EBMK25518. This has a ball mount that features a 3-1/2 inch rise or a 5-inch drop and also includes a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball.

For a hitch pin lock I recommend part # e98881.
