Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1997 Dodge Dakota

Question:

Will this front receiver hitch work on a 1997 Dodge Dakota? I see the oldest date is 1998. If not can you recommend any other options?

I have a recommendation as the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31097 is only confirmed to fit the 1998-1999 Dodge Dakota. For your 1997 Dakota you can use the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 to have a custom fabricated front hitch made. You will want to find a reputable fabrication service shop near you to have this receiver made.
