2021 Ram 1500 Front Hitch for Diesel Models

Question

Question:

I checked on this about 8 months ago, and there was not a hitch for my 21 1500 limited longhorn with diesel. It now doesnt appear that there is an exception for the diesel. It just says it fits with tow hooks or without. IS this true? Can I order for my truck?

We do have a front hitch that fits your 2021 Ram 1500 with the EcoDiesel engine with the Draw Tite part # 65081. The Curt you mentioned does not fit the diesel models.
