Front Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 With Factory Tow Hooks

Question:

Your site is confusing, there are multiple options that appear to connect differently to the truck. 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 I need a front mount hitch receiver 500 lb vertical load capability for an electric moped carrier total weight ~200 lbs. The front of the truck has the tow hooks through the fender, DRW and rear wheel drive only not 4WD Stopped by a local trailer hitch shop and was told that the Curt #31065 was needed 6 week lead time for the shop to receive. Decided to see what eTrailer could do. See Curt #31015 identified for 2010 Dodge Ram, but appears to be for a 2500 4WD. Also noted the Draw-Tite #65060 was specifically identified for 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD or 3500 4WD. But reading the questions, one eTrailer response stated that this would not work, needed the #65063 part. When I looked at the applicability for the 65063 part, it also showed it would work on a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 2WD. Really confused - what is needed? By the way - would really like to get something on order for delivery next week - so quick response would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the confusion, I can clear things up for you, and also thank you for the detail you provided about your truck that was definitely helpful. For your 2010 Ram 3500 with the factory tow hooks, the correct front-mounted trailer hitch receiver is the following from Draw-Tite:

- Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65063

I did verify this is the correct front hitch for your '10 Ram 3500 with tow hooks; it will fit either a 2WD or 4WD, and does have the 500 lb vertical load capacity you are looking for so it's exactly what you need for your truck.
