Will The EcoHitch Front Receiver Fit a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon With Factory Winch?
Question:
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon with factory 12,000Lb winch installed. Will the 306-X7900 work with my Power Wagon? If not, how about, if I removed the winch’s fairlead first? Please advise, Ed

Expert Reply:
Due to the winch's fairlead being built into the main winch mount on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon it appears the only front mounted receiver you can use is the Curt # C31015 since it will mount below the bumper. The EcoHitch # 306-X7900 would hit on the support for the rollers of the fairlead and since they are part of the main mount you would have to remove everything for it to fit. I have included an image of the Curt on a Power Wagon so you can see how it will look.
