Which Front Mounted Receiver is Best for 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn  

Question:

Expert Reply:

From both a cost and a ground clearance/approach angle standpoint I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite # DT36MR front mounted receiver.

The Curt # C31089 front hitch you'd looked at is a great item, but it would install so the bottom of the hitch recevier tube would sit even with the bottom of the bumper fascia/air dam. The Draw-Tite # DT36MR would sit at the top of the fascia, even with the underside of the bumper which allows for several more inches of ground clearance. The hitch is a fit, unless the truck is a Diesel model.

EcoHitch also offers a front receiver as part # EH37FR which would sit at the same height as the Draw-Tite. Since the Draw-Tite is dramatically less expensive, that's the route I'd recommend going. If you have a Diesel truck, I'd recommend this option over the Curt if you're concerned about ground clearance.
