I got the hitch and made a appointment to have it put on. That fell through so I decided to tackle it myself. It was extremely easy, my wife helped hold it in place while I got the bolts started. I use the hitch which I install in the front of my 2500 Ram to haul my ebikes on a bike rack. Works excellent.
We used the front hitch to handle an ebike rack. The hitch worked great, as we have been full-time RVing for the past 10 months and hauling the ebikes from Washington state to Key West. Would recommend the front hitch.
I was totally amazed at the quality and the fit to my truck this hitch went on so easy even though I have a brush guard on this truck also. This item went on in about 45 minutes and that was to unpack it and get out the tools start to finish.
Jim M - 02/25/2017Wasn't sure this part would fit on my 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, because Curt hadn't "approved" it yet, but it went on very easy. They included longer bolts that were needed due to my built in winch and the feeder wires were a great help. I lost a little approach clearance, but it is worth it. etrailer was great during the order process.
Measure it before you install it. Mine came in about 1/8” too narrow to fit my truck. Had to spend quite some time bending the ends to get it into place. Once in was very pleased with the look. It takes a bit of work to get it installed due to the design of the truck. Be patient!
Jenny N - 05/09/2022Hitch arrived in three days, installed in an hour! Perfect fit on my 2017 Ram Tradesman 2500 HD. Will have to lengthen my bike rack tube due to design of rack. Thanks Sammy for calling Curt, then guaranteeing return shipping if no fit. You can hardly notice it's there!
Pretty easy to install with the right tools. Not really noticable after it is installed. You do have to loosen the bumper, but you don't have to remove it. I bought it for a bicycle rack, works perfectly.
Good solid hitch. Took about an hour with help of my son. The drivers side on 2016 Ram Diesel was pretty easy but the passagers side was a bit challenging, because the two bolts that needed to be pushed in were being restricted on the other side but we got it done.
Ship time was super fast. Product is very heavy duty and the powder coat was perfect. All the hardware is included plus some cool wire to help fish a bolt through a tight spot. Directions were 95% useful and I also found a video by the manufacturer showing how to install it. Could not be more happy.
Great product with excellent fit. Instructions leave a little to be desired.
Holds strong, works great
I put this on a 2014 Ram 2500 Crew Cab. I use it in conjunction with the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches (TH934XTR) to take our bikes along when pulling our camper. It works well and sits out far enough to clear the front bumper. I considered the Draw Tite (65063), but I'm glad I didn't go that way as the bikes would have sat much too high and would have blocked my field of view. The bikes do bounce some, which made me nervous initially, but the hitch and the bike rack have held up well after one year.
still flawless after one year and we get multiple uses out of it, quality and build are on point with no issues.
Works great....almost not noticeable when bike rack not in it....great for transporting bikes on front of truck while towing Airstream trailer with rear hitch.
Rock solid and a must for off road and camping.
I had some trouble with mounting ( I’m not very mechanically inclined ) but I did it and would recommend to any one. I got the hitch for under the bumper a must for not getting in the way of trans cooler. 2018 Ram 2500 Cummings turbo diesel
The hitch fit perfectly on my 2017 Ram Power wagon. The longer bolts included were definitely needed for the factory installed winch. I gave it 4 stars only because of the packaging not the hitch. This is the 2nd hitch I've ordered for a 2nd truck. The first one arrived a little bent and both arrived with torn boxes, dents, and scratched paint. The packaging needs to be upgraded to handle the weight. Also, one of the first items on the instructions is to remove the nuts that secure the bumper bolts, the top ones will be reinstalled...... I didn't loosen or remove these and everything assembled just fine.
First, the Etrailer experience was excellant! Easy to order, no shipping fees and fast delvery. Great job Etrailer.
Secondly, the hitch from Curt is a heavy duty and functional hitch.
Thirdly, the instructions provided by Curt are pictured backwards in the instruction sheets, and the professional mechanic took 1 1/2 hrs to install, and called Curt tech support( 1-800-798-0813 on 2-5-13, having to ask about the backwards pictures in the instructions and was told by the person from Curt--yep you are right, they are backwards!
Rating--Etrailer=excellant,
Curt rating = Good( because of the instructions issue and it costing me more for the install. Should have been a 1/2hr. install from a professional, as per the instructions, and it was not!
If the instructions were correct, maybe a 45 minute to 1 hour install.
Easy to install, use it all the time no issues
I recently bought an RV and I thought a front hitch would be handy on my RAM haul vehicle. I have a bike rack or a cargo carrier that could be utilized. Also I thought it could be used to park the RV in some situations. The hitch came with all hardware required and was really quite simple to install ( you will need an extra set of hands ) but is basically plug and play. The only reason I did not give a five star rating is because I had to slightly file the hitch pin hole on the one side of the receiver so the pin would go threw.
Was going between drawtite receiver that fits on two hook bolts or Curt that fits on frame and sits lower almost invisible. Went with Curt. Want to use this with my bike rack when pulling 5th wheel camper, I thought being lower it would keep the bikes down lower out of sight. Installed by myself it took 1.15 hrs a second set of hands would have been great but using a jack it can be done. Looks great very easy install. Ordered it Tuesday had it Friday quick and helpful staff. I will definitely use etrailer again.
Installed on a Dodge Ram 2500 2015 4x4
The end results is what I needed. Everything in regards to etrailer was executed flawlessly. Purchase, shipping, etc. In fact I’m getting ready to make another purchase. Overall install took me a bit longer. I found removing the bottom plastic molding off the front bumper make raising the hitch and bolting in way less stressful as you have a lot more room to work. Also, in the very beginning I wish I would have marked the height of the front bumper. I had to adjust a couple times before I had everything back square and level. I had the extra time so no big deal. Will work great for my needs.
When the package arrived one of the flanges was sticking out of the package. When trying to install it was too tight to line up on the lower bumper bolts. A smack with a healthy hammer made an adjustment that allowed it to move into the desired position. Of course smaller adjustments had to be made because it was too wide after the initial "smack". After the fit was determined to be good the rest of the install went fine. Two people are required to install and we used the long bolts (not needed on my installation) to help support the hitch while assembling. Looks good and fits as stated.
Installed on 2018 2500 Dodge Tradesman. Pop on Meyers home plow and also use for moving boat and trailers. Instructions were not the best to install because the bolts were different than described but that is on Curt. ETRAILER made it easy to purchase and delivered on time. They were the only ones saying it fit onto my 2018 truck. It was for that reason I want with them.
Fast delivery. Fits like a glove on my 2012 Ram 2500 4x4. Installed by myself, took about an hour and half using two jack stands. Hardest part was getting the hole centered in the air dam. Only concern was whether I could get the bumper back to factory location as mine dropped appox 1/4". Couldn't get it back but took measurements and it was still level. Looks great!!
Looks great on the truck. I bought a bike rack that I'm using it with (we have a trailer on the back of the truck so we had to find another option for the bikes).
