Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500 with Bumper Ball Hole for Towing
Updated 03/22/2018 | Published 03/20/2018 >
Question:
My 2017 ram 1500 came with a hitch ball receiver that goes through the top of thebumper. What class hitch is that, and do you have parts to upgrade it?

Sounds like you are referring to the ball hole in the bumper of your 2017 Ram 1500 that isn't actually a hitch. So to upgrade that to a higher capacity hitch setup you'd want the Curt # 13333 which is a Class III and has capacity of 6,000 lbs trailer weight.
