Easiest to Install Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ram 1500
Question:
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 and don't have a hitch. I want to add one but I want something that is easy to install. I see the CUrt one looks pretty involved. Is there a simple to install hitch?

There is an extremely simple trailer hitch installation for your 2020 Ram 1500, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13419 which you can reasonably expect to install in less than 15 minutes.
All you really have to do is remove the plug from the bumper step, put the hitch in position and secure the hardware. That is literally the entire process. The only tools you need are a 3/4" socket, 1/2" hexbit socket, ratchet and torque wrench.
This is compared to the Curt item # C15005 which requires removing the bumper fascia temporarily, lowering or removing the spare tire and modifying the heat shield.
The trade-off is that the Draw-Tite is a Class V hitch with a 15,000 lb towing capacity and 1,700 lb tongue weight capacity while the Curt is a Class III hitch with a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity, though if used with weight distribution its capacities are 10,000 lbs towing and 1,000 lbs tongue weight.
