Correct Line Pull Rating of EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2012 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Some places in the description say this receiver has a line pull rating of 7500#. Some places in the description say this receiver has a line pull rating of 10000#. Which is correct? I want to use a 12000# pull winch. The closer the receiver gets to the 12000# rating, the better. If this is 7500#, I need to go for the Curt part.

I spoke to EcoHitch about the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7900 and they confirmed that the line pull rating is 7,500 lbs. If you need a higher rating, I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31015 (4WD Models Only) which has the highest line pull rating at 9,000 lbs.

I have a solution for you but the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item #306-X7900 you were looking at only fits the Ram 2500 and 3500's because of the difference in the frame size on the larger trucks. For a front hitch…

Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #306-X7900 fits both a 4x2 and a 4x4 2013 Ram 3500 so it will fit your 4x4. Since it fits both we don't have a specification for this product.
