For your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV # 14374 for a few key reasons. This hitch is made right here in the USA, and in our experience the powder coat finish found on the Curt hitches holds up the best over time keeping the hitch looking great and preventing rust for years to come.

Keep in mind that this hitch is only designed for trucks that did not come with a factory trailer hitch, and there is not a Class IV hitch that fits the trucks with a factory trailer hitch.

I included an install video of the # 14374 for you to take a look at.

We carry rims with a 4.75 pilot hole, like #LHHA420, and #AM20783, however they're both for dual wheel applications and have an offset. Using a wheel with a 4.75 or 4.77 pilot will be just fine since there's such a small difference.…
