2-Inch Hitch for 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 That Includes Wiring Mounting Bracket

Question:

I have a failed receiver hitch on my 1998 Dodge ram 2500 Pickup. - 8 foot bed, V10 Gas, 4x4 I am looking to replace the hitch with a better hitch that has the clip for the wiring harness. The hitches I see on your site seem to have no clip for trailer electrics female connector.

We can help you with a new hitch for your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 long bed pickup.

The linked page displays all hitches we offer for your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. These hitch fits vary depending on the type of bumper setup you have and both 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch hitches are available.

For instance, the 2-inch Draw-Tite # 37130 fits trucks with the deep drop, standard or step bumper and it includes a mounting bracket for the 7-way or other trailer wiring. For a higher-capacity USA-made option B&W's 2-inch hitch # BWHDRH25132, which also includes a wiring mounting bracket, gives you a whopping 1600-lb TW rating and 16K towing limit. Both of these hitches include a mounting point for a 7-way/bracket like # HM40975.

But if you happen to prefer a hitch without the wiring bracket you still have ways to mount one. We offer clamp-on bracket kit # 18140 that installs without drilling and that allow for mounting a wiring connector on any hitch thanks to the quick-install ring clamp included.
