Draw-Tite Tested Tough

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.

• 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup Trailer Hitch, Brake Controller, Wiring and Towing Parts
  
• The Prodigy P-2 brake controller and hitch you have selected will work great for your 2001 Dodge Ram as long as you do not have the deep drop rear bumper. In that case you would need hitch # 41504. The method of installing the controller will depend on how your truck is currently equipped. If you already have the 4-pole trailer connector, you can order the P2 part # 90885 and use the corresponding wiring adapter # 3020-P. You will also need an adapter, part # 37185 to convert the 4-pole...

A deep drop bumper will have the cut out in the middle but drops below the bottom of the bumper (at the center) so that it angles up from the center to the outer edges of the bumper. I have included a picture that better illustrates this. For models with the standard...

• Part # 41504 is not the correct part for your 1976 Chevrolet Pickup. It is for deep drop bumper vehicles. These bumpers extend lower than normal. Since you have a standard bumper you would use part # 41001 for towing up to 6,000 pounds or part # 41938 if you are towing up to 12,000 pounds. Installation will require drilling and you will have to modify or re-locate your spare tire carrier. This usually just requires holding the tire towards the cab while you are pulling it back up...

For a trailer hitch that would sit below the rear bumper, I recommend looking at the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75034. This hitch will fit as long as you have the standard or step bumper. If you have a deep drop bumper, then you will want part # 41504.

The distance from the bottom of the frame down to the top of the receiver is approximately 5-3/8 inches. If your truck has the standard or step bumper then hitch # 41001 will fit. If you have the deep drop bumper it will not fit and you would need a different hitch # 41504.

• Recommended Hitch for a 1966 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

With a standard bumper, the hitch will sit a little higher off the ground and closer to the truck's frame. With a drop bumper, it will require more space between the mounting location and the hitch receiver to fit under the bumper. The bumper is not required for installation though.
