asked by: Kelly L
Expert Reply:
To pull your 26 foot Prowler Camper (which looks to have a weight of around 6,000 pounds) with your 2017 Ram 1500 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75232. This Class III hitch features a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity for a healthy safety margin and it will use existing holes in the truck's frame for a no-drill installation.
The hitch is rated for use with a weight distribution system and when doing so its towing capacity actually increases to 1,200 pounds. I have attached an installation video on the 2017 Ram that you can use for reference.
