Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 Ram 1500 Classic and New Body

Question

Question:

Im not understanding this. The Hitch on this truck which is a NEW RAM 1500 looks nothing like the part number Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2 I dont like to see the entire bar at the bottom. Im stumped on this. I looked at my Hitch and removed the rubber cap in the center. It is NOT bolted on and this looks to just a place to put a 2ball and the factory hitch is welded on. Would appreciate your thoughts, Ill be calling the dealer tomorrow thanks

The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98852 is only a fit for 2019 Ram 1500 Classics that do not have a factory hitch.

If you do not have a 1500 Classic and instead have the new style of 2019 Ram 1500 then the trailer hitch that will fit is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15005 which is a Class V hitch with a 2 inch receiver.

I have added a link to a video of the etrailer.com hitch being installed on a Ram 1500 so you can see how it is done as well as links to the installation instructions of each hitch for you to check out.

The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41913 that fits your new body style of 2019 Ram 1500 will require your factory hitch to be removed. According to the linked manual for the Draw-Tite hitch, the factory hitch is bolted on; you will remove those bolts and use them to install the new Draw-Tite hitch. As for how it looks, the crosstube is going to show underneath the bumper; there is a photo in the aforementioned linked instructions of this hitch on a Ram which shows this.

There are no exhaust styles that the Curt Hitch part #C15572 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit. That means it would be totally compatible with your 2014 Ram 1500 with dual exhaust as long as you don't have the factory hitch.
