Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock
Question:
So i just picked up a 2021 ram 1500 classic Warlock, but it didnt come with a tow hitch. I see you have several available, but Im totally unsure about which to get. Not looking to tow anything significant. It will mostly be used for holding my bike rack when I go camping. Recommendations would be highly appreciated!

I would be happy to help narrow down the choices to the best hitch for your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock edition. Since your main purpose will be for accessories, I recommend the etrailer Hitch Receiver item # e98852. This hitch is custom fit and includes all the hardware you will need to mount it to your Ram.
The reason I like the etrailer item # e98852 is because it mounts directly below your bumper. This will not affect your ground clearance and it provides a cleaner look once installed. The installation steps are also much simpler. It has a lower capacity for towing than the Draw-Tite item # 75232 you were looking at but for a bike rack you won't need that.
I have linked an installation video below.
If you ever plan on towing you will need a wiring harness item # C59496 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
