This item I ordered does not fit my Ram 2019 3500 MEGA cab. The receiver opening sits back about 4 inches from the OEM Hitch receiver and the mounting holes do not align with the frame holes for proper mounting. The quality of the hitch looks very well and the finish is also a high quality. I really wish the hitch would fit the truck. After calling CURT customer service they agreed that they do not make a hitch that would fit this particular truck. The OEM hitch has a poor metal quality that is too soft and caused the pin hole to oblong. I am not the only RAM owner with this same experience. etrailer is doing the best at this moment to try and find a solution to my issue .

I have had the Curt trailer hitch installed for over a year. I installed it so I could add a 4-foot extension to compensate for my slide in camper. I have been towing a Jeep behind and it has worked out great. I would buy it again but I don't this think I will ever need to

Hasn't rusted. Works great. Much sturdier than the stock hitch.

  • Does Curt Hitch C15801 Fit 2017 Ram 2500 with Factory Hitch
    Hey Jason, the Curt hitch part # C15801 that you referenced does fit your 2017 Ram 2500 with a factory hitch but it was designed to allow the factory hitch to be left installed with it as well. So with this installed you would also have the factory hitch in place as well.

    We have a couple of options depending on the bed length of your 2022 Ram 3500 and whether or not you have the factory hitch.

  • Can I Remove The Factory Hitch And Install The Curt Hitch # C15801 On My 2016 Ram 2500
    Yes, you can remove/replace the factory hitch on your 2016 Ram 2500 with The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15801. If you want to keep the factory hitch on you can do that as well and use the factory hitch so you can carry a bike rack or other hitch-mounted accessory while you tow.

  • Does Curt Hitch # C15801 fit Ram 2500 with Factory Hitch and Would it Have to be Removed
    The Curt Class V hitch part # C15801 does fit Ram trucks that have the factory hitch but it does not replace the factory hitch. Instead it install below it. This fits versions of the truck that have and do not have the factory hitch. We do not have any that replace the factory hitch.

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500 Short Bed
    The Curt Class V hitch part # C15801 is a very high capacity hitch that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 short bed. This hitch has a 2,700 lb tongue weight rating and a 20k lb trailer weight rating.

  • Is the Curt Hitch C15800 Designed to Fit Standard 2019 Ram 3500 Pickup
    If your 2019 Ram 3500 is a pick-up truck the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch part # C15800 is not a fit because it fits the cab and chassis model of the Ram 3500 which have a 34" wide frame. If your truck is a cab and chassis with 34" wide frame the Curt receiver is a great choice. I have attached a video of the hitch installed on a cab and chassis for your reference. It sounds like your truck is a 2019 Ram 3500 pick up. If it is a short bed model with a 6-1/2 ft bed, I recommend Curt Trailer...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch 15801 on 2018 Ram 2500 with Ranch Hand Legend Bumper
    I went to the warehouse to measure the brackets of Curt hitch # C15801 and found it was approximately 8-1/2" from the top of the brackets to the top of the receiver tube (see accompanying photo). So the fit will depend on how much room there is from the bottom of your 2018 Ram 2500's frame where the hitch installs to the bottom of your Ranch Hand Legend Bumper. You will need to measure that distance, and If the measurement is less than 8-1/2" the Curt # C15801 will fit your truck because...

  • In Bed Camper Tie-Downs and Second Receiver For a 2017 Ram 3500 Dually Rear End 6.5' Bed
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15801 is one of the more affordable options for adding a 2nd receiver to your 2017 Ram 3500. It will sit below and slightly in from the factory receiver. For the camper tie down this is one place where I have to recommend getting the frame mounted tie downs versus the more affordable bed mounted tie downs. You do not want to trust the thin sheet metal in the bed to hold all the weight of the camper in place. The TorkLift Front # TLD2131 and Rear # TLR3500...

    Yes, it will so long as you have a 6-1/2' bed. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15801 is confirmed to fit the 2022 Ram 3500's with or without a factory hitch. This class V hitch has a 2-1/2" receiver and bolts to your Ram with included hardware. It has a massive 20,000 lbs towing capacity and a 2,700 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you have the 8' bed with a factory hitch you will want the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT45509.

  • Recommended Class V Hitch for a 2022 Ram 3500
    I would be happy to help you find a hitch for your 2022 Ram 3500. It looks like your 30’ Airstream International has a maximum capacity of 10,000 lbs. I have a couple of options for you depending on the bed length of your truck. All of the hitches with the capacity you are looking for require drilling for installation. If you have an 8 foot bed with or without the factory hitch you will want the Draw-Tite item # DT45518. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Ram 3500 with...

  • What Is Tongue Weight Rating of Curt Hitch # C15801
    The Curt hitch part # C15801 that you referenced has a tongue weight capacity of 2,700 lbs and normally using a hitch adapter cuts that by 50 percent so you'd most likely have a capacity of 1,350 lbs but for a longer hitch extension the capacity reduction would be more and you'd have to check it to be sure. A lot of times they also have their own capacities as well so be sure to check that as well.

  • Part Needed to Reduce Hitch Receiver Size to 2-Inches for Pro Series WD System
    Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4900 fits into a 2-1/2-inch hitch like # C15801, so it is not a good choice for use with the Pro Series weight distribution system # PS49582. If you want to use this 2-inch system in a 2-1/2-inch hitch you can add a reducer sleeve # C45405 to drop the receiver opening size down to 2-inches.
