Recommended Hitch and 7-Way Wiring Harness for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ Tow Package

Question:

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Crew cab 4-door with the 5.7 Hemi. I bought it new and it came with the tow package. It has a stock bumper. Will this fit on my truck??? Also, what 7-blade wiring plug harness do I purchase to work with this replacement?

Yes, the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch item # BWHDRH25211 will fit your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. It fits Dodge trucks with or without the factory hitch. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Dodge with included hardware.

The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch item # BWHDRH25211 is made in the USA and weighs 73 lbs.

To replace your Dodge's 7-Way you will want the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket item # HM40975-11933. This will plug into your factory tow packages wiring harness. It has included bracket that will let you bolt it to your hitch or anywhere else that is convenient.

I have linked the installation instructions below along with a couple of review videos.
