The etrailer brand # e98852 and the Draw-Tite # 75662 are almost identical. The capacities are the same, they'd both install in the same manner and they're very similarly priced. There are a few differences. The biggest difference is that the etrailer # e98852 hitch itself is manufactured in the USA, while the the Draw-Tite model is manufactured in Mexico. Other more minor differences- the etrailer hitch uses a matte powder coat finish, while the Draw-Tite coating is a bit more glossy. The etrailer hitch upper mounting holes are slotted for an easier fit, while the ones on the Draw-Tite are round.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd go for the etrailer model because it's domestically manufactured. I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.

My truck is a 2019 ram 1500 classic tradesmen with a in bumper ball mount. Will the Draw tight adapter work on it? The rear mounting holes look farther apart then the ones in the video and on the mount. What is the measurements from center to center on the rear mount holes?

If your Ram 1500 Classic has the factory step bumper, the Draw-Tite # 75662 is a confirmed fit. The mounting holes are spaced apart by 12-1/2" (center to center). If this doesn't match up to the existing holes on your truck just let me know.
