Front Mounted Receiver Location When Installed on 2004 Dodge Ram 3500
Question:
Will the Draw-tite #65046 fit my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad cab, Heavy duty, SLT, Diesel? Just assuming it will. How much could I expect where the hitch will be located in relation to the front license tag. Im hoping to be able to use a Flip-up license plate to gain access to the hitch which is really what I perfer. Tks

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite # 65046 front mounted receiver will fit the 2004 Dodge Ram 3500.
When the hitch is installed, the receiver tube will butt up against the underside of the front bumper fascia, a few inches below the license plate, as you'll see in the photo I provided.
The Curt # C31017 would sit about 2 inches higher, meaning you'd need to notch the bumper fascia, but you'd still be well under the license plate.
I've linked you to installation instructions for both hitches, as well as video footage of the Draw-Tite being installed on a 2007 Ram.
