When we had the chance to install the Torklift hitch part # TLD1111-30 on a short bed truck like your 2023 Ram 3500 we did not have to modify the spare mount so I would not anticipate that being an issue. If you check out the install video link you can see more info on this.

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…
