Curt vs. Draw-Tite Front-Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Ram 1500
Question:
What is the difference between the Curt and Draw-Tite front hitches? I have a 2021 Ram 1500 and need one.

I would be happy to answer that question for you. The main difference between the Curt Front Hitch Receiver item # C87FR and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receiver Item # 65081 is the difficulty in installation. The Curt is way easier to install. You have to remove the front air dam and splitter to install the Draw-Tite. They both have identical capacities with a 9,000 lbs line pull and a 500 lbs vertical load limit. Since the capacities are the same I recommend the Curt item # C87FR based on the installation method. I have attached a picture of the front mount hitch receiver installed.
