I do have a Class V hitch for your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab short bed truck.

The Class V hitch that will fit your Ram 1500 is the Curt Class V 2-Inch Hitch, part # C15572. This hitch has a 15,000-lb gross towing weight capacity and a tongue weight capacity of 1500 lbs. This hitch will not fit vehicles with a factory hitch installed. I am including a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500.

Just a reminder that even though the Class V hitch has a gross towing weight capacity of 15,000 lbs, your weight capacity will be limited by the lowest capacity in your towing setup. I would recommend to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle and if it is lower than the hitch capacity you will want to use that capacity as the guideline.

We also have other hitches to fit your vehicle, but they will all have a lower gross towing weight capacity than the # C15572 hitch mentioned above. I am including a link to those hitches.
