The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # 41923 for your 2002 Dodge Ram is made in Mexico. It is made to US standards and Draw-Tite is an American company.

If you are wanting a USA manufactured trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15300, # C15319, or the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # BWHDRH25132. For an even heavier duty option made in the USA, I recommend the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - Dual 2" Receivers # TLD1100.

With any of these hitches, you may also be interested in the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2" Ball - 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs/16,000 lbs # BWTS10055 which is also made in the USA along with a hitch lock like # BX8858.
