Front Hitch for 2021 Ram 2500 to Carry Thule Goalpost or Yakima LongArm

Question

Question:

Im wanting to install a front hitch on my 2021 Ram 2500, and use it with either a Thule goalpost or a Yakima Longarm. Do you have front hitch mounts that you would suggest for that? How far out do the Thule and Yakima stick out? Enough to clear the front bumper?

Expert Reply:

The front hitch I would recommend for your 2021 Ram 2500 is the EcoHitch part # EH37FR because it sits up the highest and is the least recessed for clearance when using the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150 or the Thule Goalpost # TH997. Both of these would easily stick out far enough to clear the front bumper of your truck.

For your 2020 Ram 2500 you will have to go with a lower mounted front trailer hitch receiver like the Draw-Tite #DT36MR. If you have a Diesel engine then the Curt #C31089 or EcoHitch #EH37FR are your 2 choices. The Draw-Tite #65063 will only fit the…

Customer Brad is using kayak rollers on his Thule Goalpost TH997. There are several options for these. You can get a set of 4 from Yakima using #Y04082-2 or a pair using #Y04082. I have linked a video of these rollers for you.
