2008 Dodge Ram-Pickup

Took me about 25 or so minutes to install on my 08 Dodge 4x4. Except for the mounting bracket from the stock hitch receiver getting in the way of feeding the mounting bolts inside of the frame the install went smooth. The construction of this receiver makes it look like it belongs on a tank. I'm sure the bolts or truck frame will break before this thing does.

I can't believe how fast this thing shipped. It had to go across the country and still got to my house in 3 days !



by:

I bought the hitch knowing it sat below the stock hitch. Going off the video it looked good. Don't know if I'm going to like it because of all the ground clearance lost because my pickup doesn't sit as high as the one on the video, even though they are both dodge pickups. Otherwise I think I would of given it a 5 star. Best advice measure your vehicle don't go off of their video. To see if you can live with that much ground clearance lost. If not find a stock replacement.

You are right. The measurement of clearance for your 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup will vary depending on what size tires are being used and the different years depicted in the videos. For example, in the video of the 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup, the clearance from the top of the receiver tube to level ground is approximately 19 inches. In the 2014 year video the clearance is approximately 20.25 inches. So it is good to be aware of this if you have an unlevel driveway or you are constantly on uneven terrain. A hitch that fits your 2008 Dodge Ram with factory hitch is the Item # BWHDRH25211 and this one does not sit beneath the stock hitch, however, it may require some drilling. Please note that this B&W hitch is designed for vehicles with a standard factory bumper and will only fit 8 foot bed models.

2003 DodgeRam Pickup

Hitch arrived in a timely fashion. The box was damaged in shipping which is not unusual for things shipped to Alaska. Product was undamaged and all contents were accounted for.

Installation required the removal of some unused camper tie down brackets.It also required the removal of the after market receiver because of clearance issues. If it had been the factory receiver it would have not required removal.

Because if clearance issues at the rear of the frame rails the bolt heads would not fit through the openings. It required using a additional piece of wire in conjunction with the one provided to fish the rear most bolts through from the forward openings in the frame rails. After all of the bolts and washers were installed I lassoed the bolts with a piece of safety wire to keep them from inadvertantly being pushed back up into the frame rails during installation of the hitch since I was working alone and using a forklift to position the hitch. I did remove the spare tire prior to starting just to make access to everything easier. Fit and finish of the receiver are good.

It works great! Ive been using it for over a year now, and it works perfectly for my needs.

This is mounted on my 2003 Dodge/Cummins, 3/4 ton truck. The truck now has 107,000 miles, and 95,000 of them or more have been pulling heavy travel trailers. The factory hitch was showing sign of wear, so I bought the Curt.
The Curt class 5 hitch is much heavier and is going to work much better than the class 4 hitch that came with the truck when I ordered it new.
The only thing I don't like, is that because of the factory installed original hitch, which is actually the rear cross member of the Dodge truck, the Curt is designed to fit under the factory hitch, and you have to leave the factory hitch in place. It's not a big problem, it just look's sort of odd.
The tolerances on the Curt a much tighter fit, and a lot less slop than the factory hitch.

Thanks for the follow up.....The Curt hitch is working just fine....its a lot stronger than the original factory hitch. Ive towed about 10,000 miles with it so far, and no problems.



by:

Super heavy duty hitch bolted right up easily and does its job. The steel this is made from is twice as thick as the factory hitch.



by:
2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

This hitch sits far too low on my truck to be usable. It's only 11.5 inches from the ground and sits a whole 7" below the bumper, significantly reducing ground clearance and requiring use of an inverted drop hitch to tow any trailer sitting higher than 11.5 inches - basically all my heavy duty trailers. It's low enough to look ridiculous on a 2500 and my neighbors agree. I spoke with etrailer and they refused to return this hitch even though I had never towed with with. They consider a loosely bolted up hitch "used." They also refused to offer a discount on ordering a replacement hitch. On top of it all, the exact same hitch is $66 cheaper on other sites where returns would be no issue at all! Exceptionally disappointed!

John,Thank you for your review. This hitch is designed to install below the OEM hitch on your Ram truck. The hitch does sit lower because it is under the factory hitch. According to Curt it is not a good idea to remove the factory hitch because it is welded to a cross member that is an important part of the vehicles frame structure.



by:

Its a beast.
It hangs a little low
(to accommodate not having to remove the factory hitch) but that is fine in my situation since I am not doing any dedicated off roading with the truck. This hitch is a beast (which is why I choose this capacity): I've had our tandem axle dump trailer behind it with 4 yards of rock which is roughly about 14K or 15K lbs all in on the hitch and no sweat even though the truck and diesel for sure know its there. At that weight I run a solid hitch insert and maximum capacity ball. But it feels great knowing that now the truck has all the right capacities to haul that much.
I just didn't have the energy in me or time, to lift the truck bed to remove the original hitch or the desire to spend more for the torklift hitch which is much more tidy and tight. If function and price is more important than tidy and tight, then this hitch is a beast and a good buy.



by:

Installation was not the easiest because of the factory hitch removal but the product has been solid.

2006 DodgeRam Pickup

This ball mount has served it purpose well. I purchased a new travel trailer that is heavy enough to require a weight distribution hitch when using the factory installed Class III hitch on our Dodge RAM 2500. I decided to upgrade to a Class V hitch combined with this ball mount to take delivery of the TT in order to defer decisions about a WD hitch until the actual load conditions were known. The hour trip home with this setup worked very well. Once the trailer was outfitted I was able to determine the actual tongue weight of the loaded trailer and I decided to purchase an appropriately sized Reese Straight Line WD hitch. However, this ball mount comes in handy for moving the trailer short distances without hassling with the WD system. The purchase experience through etrailer.com was first rate.

2006 DodgeRam Pickup

I put this on under my Dodge Ram stock class 3 hitch, although now after doing it, I wish I had removed the stock hitch which after I started I noticed it wouldnt have been hard, I heard it was part of the cross member but it is bolted in, so the new hitch would take it place, someone posted a picture of what both hitches together look like, you lose 4 inches by mounting this under the stock hitch,, I had to buy a new distribution hitch but after messing with new taller hitch I should have turned my old one over and tried that first,, problem is my driveway is dirt and not level all around I have to go to a parking lot to mess with it,, ( Shank I think the part is called),, so before you buy look at your dodge and see if your hitch is removable, if not this is a great hitch,,

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I bought the the Curt hitch for my 2004 dodge 2500. It was delivered quickly. The install was quite easy. My truck was not on a hoist. The bolts were fished through the holes with ease and I had a friend help steady the hitch while I jacked it up underneath the truck and with a little jimmying around the OEM hitch, it slid into place perfectly. All the bolt holes lined up, thereby easing a major fear of mine. One piece of advice. I had a rolling jack. Made it very easy. Also, it may seem like it won't fit, but lift the back,( as in closest to cab) into place first and then jack up the front and slide into place. It took me about an hour. Very happy with Etrailer and Curt and would recommend either to anyone.



by:

Solo installer, took about two hours total to install using floor jack and cribbing. Had minor alignment problems and the rear spacers (item no. 6) had to be turned 90 degrees from the way indicated on installation diagram to align with rear holes on bottom of frame rail. So had to fish both spacers out of frame rail over top of bumper beam and reinstall. This hitch will allow me to safely tow my toy hauler that has a hitch weight of 1450 pounds. OEM hitch rating was only 1200 pounds.

this product is a HD hitch. i tow big boats, cars and trailers and this hitch has been great. so tough and solid. and the installation was soooo easy. took 1/2 hour in the driveway.
etrailer website had a great video to show how its done. they have been a great vendor!!



by:
2005 DodgeRam Pickup

I ordered a Curt trailer hitch for my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel with a factory installed Class IV hitch. Everything was as advertised. I did find the instructions lacking in detail. In particular, the instructions did not mention the the bumper bracket nuts and bolts on both sides interfered with the installation. These bolts, which could not be removed due to the nuts being welded in place, required that the hitch be positioned about 3 inches to the rear and 1/2 inch below the truck frame and then slid forward to align the mounting bolts. other than that. the installation was pretty straight forward. The hitch itself is substantial and well built.



by:
2006 DodgeRam Pickup

I’ve had this hitch on my ram 2500 for a year now. My truck is lifted with big tires. This hitch keeps me from needing such a long drop hitch.



by:

Can't say enough good about how fast it got here and the fit was great, all holes lined up, the wires supplied worked to get hidden bolts in place. It did take me a little longer than the chart said but finding tools was a part of that. The very next day I took my trailer on a 350 mile round trip to the Mulberry river in northern
Arkansas, sharp turns ruff roads and it worked great.

Still doing great, I also put a hitch on the front and it works great as well.

It was great, just had to make One modi fication

Product came in a timely matter. One hole needed to be drilled out(passenger side farthest to the rear bumper)??????. Not fun. Fishwire system is great. Almost lovely. Thankfully had a drill bit to fix manufacturing problem.



by:

Showed up fast and was an easy install, took about 40 minutes, and I'm a non-pro. Looking forward to putting it through the tow test.



by:

Tyra was very helpful and did a great job. I received my hitch today, a couple of days ahead of the projected date. I'm waiting for warmer weather to install it. I won't know about the hitch installation until then. I've ordered here before and the other products were top notch as was the customer service.
