Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.

Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Fast shipping, good quality and very easy to install. Total time was 30 minutes. Bike rake sits in receiver has very title movement.
Perfect fit for my 2024 RAM 2500.
Be sure to have the right sockets for the work and having an impact drill/wrench will save your muscles. Even a $25 electric impact power tool from Harbor Freight does the job. Breaker bar is ok, but you need the impact to help loosen those bolts holding the "crash bracket" to the frame (2-bolts each side).
Installation itself was easy. I did it by myself in maybe 1-hr, having all the tools lined up in advance. Have all the cutouts done beforehand. When backing out the old bolts, keep one on each end to help the 'crash brackets' keep in place and not drop. I did end up using the provided washers as shims in between front tow hitch mount location and the "crash brackets" (as per instruction). Just make sure you use a dowel or flat tip screw driver so that the washers don't slip or drop down.
Tighten to specs and blue loctite the threads and you should be GTG.
I did notice a little 'pointing downward' of the hitch but realized that the back end of my truck is higher than the front end, so when weight is added to the back, it 'should' level out. Not an issue if using front hitch for winch or additional tow shackle but if you have something extending out further (cargo carrier or bike rack) please take note. If your truck is lifted 2" or more, should be non-issue.
Would definately buy again and recommend to others with a 2024 RAM 2500 Tradesman.

Thanks for sharing all of your tips and feedback on the install, John. Pointing out the angle of the hitch make sense when you explain it and I agree, that would be something to keep in mind if your going to put some sort of rack on the front.
I had reviewed the installation instructions online and had removed the bolts and trimmed the fascia before the hitch arrived. I used giant heavy duty zip tie to tie one side up close to mounting point and the raised and maneuvered hitch into place. Then installed the bolts. Did this by myself. Hand tightened bolts, then used jack on receiver to get it to sit as high as possible and then tightened the bolts. Installed my Young Electric Mate R bicycle rack on it. Works perfectly!
Receiver hitch has worked flawlessly. Use it for my cargo basket and Added a bike.
The hitch fit my 2019 Ram 2500 perfectl y.

The front hitch has worked good. I put a motorcycle rack on the front of the truck so I can pull my travel trailer.
I lucked out and didnt have to remove any bolts. Previous owner had a plow on the truck so my hitch bolted right in. Only issue is a large gap between frame and hitch. Instruction said to stack washers until flush. I dont think enough washers were in the kit to do that. I simply made shims from stock I had laying around. 1 hr install by my self. I used a floor jack to hold it in place while bolting it up.
Hitch was easy to install with two people but time consuming. It took me 2 1/2 hours. The lack of a video for my2024 Tradesmen didn't help. My tow hooks did not need to be removed.
Installation wasn't too bad. HOWEVER you need to take the front airdam off (which was not specified in the directions) to be able to get this on. Then make the trim cuts to the airdam and reinstall.
So far, so good with my MotoTote.
The hitch itself seems to be well constructed but the installation allows for a pretty big gap between the hitch and the frame. It should be fine for my application of just a bike rack but I'm not sure I would use it for something heavier. Also disappointed with the location of the pin holes as they are directly in line with the trimmed fascia. I have to push or pull the fascia to get my bike rack pin in and locked.
I’m not a handy guy and I installed this alone, it’s been a great addition to my 2021 Ram 3500, We use it for a bike rack or beach basket for extra storage when im off roading.
Fast shipping, well built heavy duty hitch,easy install
Will not fit in my truck because it's a diesel

Hi Ron, I can help with getting you situated with the right hitch for your diesel and getting the wrong one returned. One compatible option for your 2021 Ram 2500 diesel truck is the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount, part # EH37FR. Please watch your email for a returned label as well.
Great product and easy install. Ram 2500. No drilling for my truck, 6.4L gas engine. In case the diesel is different. Just cut the wind guard with a hacksaw. It’s a little awkward lifting it into place laying under the truck but doable. 2 hours total.
Fits great on my 2020 2500 Ram. Love it . The spare tire housing holds my train horn. The front hitch will hold my spare!
We received the front mount trailer hitch in perfect condition with very fast shipping. The mount is very high quality, very sturdy, and came with excellent instructions for mounting to our truck. We are very pleased with this item and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a front mount hitch.

We bought our cover over a year ago for our new trailer. It has been fabulous. The optional door access is essential. I didnt realize how frequently we would use it throughout the winter.
Doesn’t line up level with truck it has a downward angle. Loosened up bolts again put a bottle jack under front of hitch raised front up some but still not level

I wanted to see if you could send a picture of how the hitch angle is on the truck. I reached out to the manufacturer and they have not had this reported in.
2024 ram 2500 Laramie tried to install front hitch today and did not fit. Stock brackets interfered and could not get bolts in. Had to grind out the side brackets on the hitch both sides to get enough clearance. Had to take off as much as 3/4 inch each side. Not fun wrestling it in and out several times trying to get it to fit. Very disappointed etrailer has not test fit it and made corrections. Then to find out the stock license plate holder covers up the reciever opening completely. No mention of that in the literature or directions when ordering. No provisions come with it for relocating the license plate bracket. They sell an expensive mounting plate to bolt the license plate to that then fits it the reciever….guess that leaves you with no plate on the front whenever you use it for anything else. So far have not found anything to permanently locate the license plate higher or to the side so you can still have a front plate on the vehicle while using the hitch. Very dissapointing. If anyone knows of a license plate relocating kit that doesn’t have to cost 100 bucks would be nice if it was added to the hitch as ordered.

It sounds like the hitch arrived flexed, which is common during shipping for the side brackets to be bent slightly out or in. All you need to do to correct it, is use a vise and bend it back into place. I am sorry this information was not made sooner for you. We do carry some license plate brackets like part # 5443 that mounts directly into your front mount hitch when its not in use, and its less than $100.
Hitch receiver is too short and too low; currently trying to find a robust extender without much luck so thus far it's not been used unfortunately. I've been putting front mount receiver in every car I have and this is the first time I'm regretting it
haven't installed it yet
Install was easy and straightforward. Only thing I didn't like is mine leans towards the ground and not level so I had to use a riser so my basket that I use to haul my generator wouldn't hit the ground going in and out of some drives with dips.
Hitch is great. Fits nicely and install was ok. Only downside was hardware came loose in the box and I was missing a couple of washers and nuts which necessitated a trip to Tractor Supply. Origional bolts on Ram were extremely tight and needed a good breaker bar to move. Install was done with truck on the ground. As a previous user dud I used a motorcycle lift to hold in position until I had two bolts in.
It will not fit...2020 Ram 3500 I cut on it to make fit but no go and I can't return it now for sure lol

You mentioned that the hitch did not fit for you and I wanted to ask a few questions. Can you explain in more detail how it did not fit? Is your truck a diesel model? Is it a power wagon model?

It is a 2020 Ram 3500 diesel the front radiator oil cooler would hit no way to install that hitch

This hitch is not a fit for diesel models. For a 2020 Ram 3500 diesel the hitch would be part # EH37FR.
Fast shipping from etrailer. Haven't installed it yet, but it's pretty beefy and should do the job. Will follow up after the install!
Hitch was packaged and boxed well and delivered in 2 days. Very well built hitch. Directions were spot on and the hitch fit perfectly.
Total installation time was less then an hour.
I originally went to (another company) what a fiasco. I stood over 45 minutes to order and order came in wrong. Im hesitant to order on line. I'm hoping in the near future on line will be more secure.
