Great customer service as always!

Fast easy install and delivery

Product and shipping were good. Instructions could use work. The bumper brackets on the 2020 Ram 2500 need to be ground down about 1/4” on each side to fit properly. I saw this noted on another review so I was not surprised.



by:



by:

Hello,
I received all items in good condition.
I’m still waiting for my service guy to install everything, so I haven’t had a chance to use anything yet but you seem to have a nice pro active customer support. That’s something you don’t see every day. Thanks for caring!



by:

It hits the bumper support brackets, unless you grind your supports It will not line up, I should have paid attention to the reviews



by:

Hello William. Just want to give you an update. I went ahead and trimmed those little protrusions from the bumper bracket and the hitch went on without any further issues. I won't be returning it, as I'm satisfied with the outcome already. I just wish that Curt had let you guys know this issue in advance. I have no complaints of your team's customer service. I think you all are great. I've ordered several things from your company and I think I will continue to do so in the future. My only request it to please update the info on this hitch so people are aware that trimming is necessary, at least for the 2020 ram 2500 gas model. Thanks.



by:

The bolt pattern was a little tight because of a bumper bracket. It did finally go together



by:

This mount was a perfect fit, has been on the front of my truck for a year and we use it to haul bikes on when we pull our camper all the time, highly recommend



by:

Came with everything, easy instructions. Fast shipping.



by:

Shipping was fast and perfect with all the necessary parts. Installation was not perfect as the hitch was not designed to clear the bumper bracket flange. I had to cut a small piece of steel on each side of the hitch to allow for clearance. This will not compromise the strength in any way but this is obviously a flaw in Curt’s design for fit on a 2024 Ram 2500. The front license plate bracket also interferes with the hitch attachment opening and I have not come up with a mounting alternative.



by:

It was tough to line up the forward non hardened bolts ..maybe the slots need to be longer ..very heavy duty though..



by:

Fit perfect and was super easy to insta ll.



by:

Installation is straight forward.



by:

Installation was a breeze. Can’t take credit because my mechanic did it. It’s functioning to perfection. Pushing a trailer into tight spots is so much easier than backing it in. Thanks MrCurt. Wonderful front hitch.



by:

The front hitch itself is wonderfully built, fits well, complete hardware. The issue is that the hitch exits under the bumper exactly behind where the lower bar of my Ranch Hand grille guard is. Not a product flaw, but now modifications are necessary to be useful.

  • Front Hitch that Fits 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon

  • Availability Of Front Hitch For 2022 Ram 4500 Diesel
    Hello Jerry, thanks for reaching out. At this time we offer only two front hitches for the 2022 Ram 4500, the Curt # C73ZV and Draw-Tite # DT36MR. I am sorry to say these hitches will not fit the Diesel model, and there is nothing available that does. The only option would be to take a universal multi-fit hitch like the Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver # 15902 to a welder and have them fabricate something to fit. What are you wanting to use the front hitch for?

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Ram 1500 w/a Class III Tow Bumper
    Hey Scott. You don't get much easier than the Curt item # C73ZV hitch you were looking at as far as installation goes. It'll take you longer to get your tools around and the hitch out of the box than it will take to get the hitch installed. I checked with Curt and when their item # C73ZV is installed on your 2024 Ram 1500 it's only a class III hitch. The reason being is that's what the bumper on your truck is rated for. I link a installation video below so you can see how easy it is...

  • Does the Curt C73ZV Require Grinding on a 2024 Ram 2500?
    Hi Mike, No, the Curt part # C73ZV Front Mount Hitch does not require grinding down the bumper supports on your 2024 Ram 2500 Big Horn with the 6.4L gas engine and 4x4. The latest installation instructions only call for minor trimming of the lower plastic bumper fascia, or air dam, to create an opening for the 2 inch receiver tube. There is no drilling or grinding of the bumper supports required. The hitch installs using the existing frame holes and the included hardware, so you will...

  • Recommended Front Hitch for a 2025 Ram 2500 w/a Diesel engine
    Hey Jack. The only front hitch that fits the 2025 Ram 2500 Laramie with a diesel engine is going to be the EcoHitch item # EH37FR. This front hitch is designed a little differently so it's compatible with the diesel and gas engine models. It sits a little higher on the front of your Ram so it will provide a better approach angle/ground clearance at the front of the truck. I linked an installation video below and attached a picture so you can see how to get this front hitch installed and...

  • Front Hitch For 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    Hello Chris, thanks for getting in touch. We do offer one front hitch that will fit the 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon and that is the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C73ZV. Curt has confirmed that this will work with the Power Wagon trim. The only exclusion is if you have a diesel engine but it looks like the Power wagon comes with a Hemi v8 so you should be good to go.

  • Is There A Front Hitch For The 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon With A Factory Winch?
    Hey Bob, thanks for reaching out. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C73ZV does fit a 2024 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, but there is one big catch with your setup. The factory winch has to be removed in order to install the hitch, so you cannot retain both the Curt front receiver and factory winch at the same time. I'd only recommend the # C73ZV front hitch for your truck if you are okay with giving up the winch. Unfortunately, I do not have a front receiver option that lets you keep the factory...
