Specially designed for heavy-duty towing, this fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Product is just as described, super easy installation, the only fight there was was a slightly misaligned hole, but if you have a lady foot pry bar and a small hammer the install is still very straightforward, installation took just over half an hour. Would recommend!
Had the stock 10,000lb hitch on my 96' Dodge that I knew I was overloading a little. Bought this Class V which took an hour to change out. No drilling just remove and replace hitch with heavier bolts provided. This is a much heavier hitch than the stock hitch and will serve my 14,000 Max GVW trailer much safer. After removing stock hitch, I looked it over and found it was cracking at the rear bolt. Was only a matter of time before it failed. Glad it gone to the junk yard.
We pull a new 33ft RV with a GVWR of 9000 lbs and an advertised tongue weight of 795 lbs. In reality the tongue weight is more like 1000 lbs. because the RV manufacturers do not measure the factory tongue weight with full propane tanks and a battery. I bought a Sherline 2000 tongue weight scale and my tongue weight came in just shy of 1200 lbs. with the RV loaded for take off.
My old Chrysler factory hitch receiver was rated at 1000 tongue weight thus the need for a new hitch receiver to handle the load of the RV.
Got the new receiver C15318. I missed the part about maybe not fitting a roll down rear factory bumper. The new receiver will not fit in the same bolting place as the old 1000 factory receiver. I had to set it back 1.5 inches so it would miss the rear bumper. There were enough factory holes in the frame to match the front and rear bolt holes but I had to drill the hole in the middle.
It all worked out fine because the new hitch receiver is within 1/8 of an inch of where the old factory receiver sat under the bumper.
Sorry I had to place my electric 7 way RV plug holder over your logo, but I think you'll understand.
Good product, heavy, have no worry now towing our RV.
Love it. Heavy duty and then some! Easy install. Works as advertised. We'll worth the money.
Awesome hitch, what can I say. It fit perfect, went on without any drilling, and is rated for way more than the stock hitch which my truck came with. I tried a reese towerpower receiver which was supposed to fit my truck but it was too wide to fit between the leaf spring hanger and the bend in the frame so it was useless. This one was a direct bolt on and was on my truck in about 15 minutes. Looks great and I'm glad to have to higher towing capacity. I overloaded my stock hitch a few too many times and it ended up getting a small crack due to the excess weight and age. Couldn't be happier with the shipping as well , it was at my door within 3 days.
Best constructed frame mounted hitch I’ve ever owned.. I installed it by myself and it fit like a glove. It’s way better than the bumper hitch I had before because of the added safety and stability.
Prompt shipping.
Well built hitch.
The hitch was shipped in thin cardboard box which UPS easily destroyed.
Of course it didn't hurt the hitch but, the electrical hitch connector that I ordered at the same time was shipped in the same box. It's packaging was broken and we had to search the UPS truck to find all the parts. Would have been better to ship the smaller fragile parts in another box.
Thanks!
Solid , reliable and fit like a glove.
Great that you can replace part for a old work horse. 1994 Ram with a Cummins??
It’s all good but I ordered the wrong one needed one for a drop hitch my fault
Great fit, solid build and hardware, it came 2 days before it said it would. Perfect product.
Solid hitch, second one I've ordered!
The end of the receiver where it is mushroomed do you recall reinforcement is a very poor design he lose part of your support next time I’ll be more careful who I buy mine from not happy at all
Thomas M - 01/02/2022This hitch is a perfect fit. It comes with excellent grade 8 hardware. The packaging was excellent and clever. It took me about a half hour to install.
Hitch appears well made. However, once this 70 years old man got the hitch up to connect it to the truck, I saw that the holes didn't match up. I ordered this hitch because it said it fit my 2001 Dodge truck with NO drilling.I could have ordered a less expensive hitch if I had wanted to drill. VERY disappointed in the fit.
Sierra K - 08/03/2021My OEM class IV hitch developed cracks, so I bought this one (Curt 15318) to replace it. Easy bolt on (no drilling needed), but didn't have electrical connector mounting bracket that the OEM had.
Well made, heavy (60 lbs.). Easy installation (40 min), Rated as class V hitch (with 2" receiver). Fits '95 Dodge Ram 2500 V10 4x4.
Great Quality at an Affordable price, The hitch fit perfectly no drilling ,beating , Looks awesome and the wiring harness was a breeze, about 30 minutes and the project was done. Highly recommend these products.
Jerry B - 10/29/2017All the hardware to mount it was included, installation instructions were clear, and it installed per instructions. I installed it on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with a short bed which only uses 3 of the 4 mounting points on each side plate which was indicated per instructions.
Andy - 06/05/2015Received the hitch and it is very heavy duty. Arrived in perfect condition, all moutning harware and torque specs. Mounted right up no problem. Took longer to get the old off than the new on. I have not towed with htis yet but have no doubt it will do well and hold more weight than the truck can take.
Thank you
Tony S - 02/20/2018Built like it was designed to pull a load, no cheesy lightweight metal. This hitch is very well put together with good looking welds and secure mounting design. I regularly pull a dump trailer with the load being right at the hitches capacity and have not had any issues with anything bending or even looking like it may be stressed.
Installed on 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. Much heavier duty than OEM hitch. Holes lined up with no drilling but difficult to install by yourself because it's heavy and awkward to handle. On my truck I had to relocate the 7 pin plug becuase it was welded onto factory hitch. I've used it to tow a heave trailer and tractor with no issue so far.
My receiver hitch is strong and sturdy. The only thing I do not like is the loops for trailer safety chains. The steel is too wide to get most hooks on the chain to latch very securely.
Great fit and easy to install and comes with everything you need
and is built solid, I would definitely buy again !!
Shopping online was very intuitive and product alignment was accurate. The installation instructions, wiring harness, and required hardware were also the correct items and reference material for my make and model. The product itself is a very solid Hitch and has been reliable.
This is a very beefy receiver hitch. Much stronger than my previous hitch. It fit my 96 Dodge pick up perfectly, no drilling. And now no worries about whether the hitch is strong enough to handle the tow. This is probably a bit of overkill, but I would rather have too much hitch than not enough.
The price was right and the shipment was fast.
Thanks Anna.

This sturdy steel hitch from B&W is designed to fit your heavy-duty towing needs. Safety chain loops are built in and an electrical bracket is included for mounting your 7-way trailer connector (sold separately). Powder coat finish resists rust.I decided to try this B&W receiver hitch on my 95 Dodge Ram 2500 after discovering that another well known brand was not going to bolt right on. The B&W had enough distance between the mounting brackets to clear the downward bent lip on the Dodge frame. Installation was straightforward after removing the spare tire and oem Dodge hitch. I assembled everything loosely and set it into position before snugging up the hardware and doing the final torque. The hitch seems well made. The tab for mounting trailer wiring is a nice feature. My only little nit pick is I think some of the frame mount hardware could have been 9/16" instead of 1/2" where it goes through the 1" holes in the frame with the large backing plates. I don't plan on towing more than 10,000 lbs so it will probably be fine.
Product was a easy hook up. Instructions say to assmeble it on the ground and then bolt it up. But if you just have one person put on each of the side plates and then the center section and tighten it down . Still went quickly
Works great looks great on the truck like the way it tucks under the bumper. Hardest part of the install was getting original one off. Great product would recommend it highly.
This is the 5th B&W hitch I've had (3 rear mounted receivers and 2 fifth wheel hitches) and the 4th I've bought on etrailer. I'm replacing this particular hitch because I was rear-ended. It totaled the car and, for the second time, my truck is just fine. I had the tow ball with a drop hitch on (also B&W) and it took all of the impact.
B&W makes the best quality hitches that I've found. I've never once had an issue, they are made in the USA, and in my opinion worth every bit of the few extra dollars to get something that will last a lifetime.
I also find myself coming back to etrailer over and over. No one can beat their customer service. They are, hands down, the best.
If you're looking at this review then I think you're in the right place.
The 16K hitch is exactly what I needed. The stock hitch was only rated at 10K. I'm hauling a 12K trailer and I didn't want to roll the dice with the stock hitch. The 16K hitch fit perfectly on my Dodge truck. All needed parts were included and was easy to install. The hardest part was removing the old hitch. Definitely soak the old bolts with PB blaster a couple of days before you remove the old hitch. Customer service was great as well as fast shipping. I'd highly recommend this hitch to anyone who is planning on hauling a heavy trailer.
This is my4th hitch I have bought from etrailer and I always like shopping here. The customer service is great. The shipping is always fast and unless I screw up the product is what I wanted. It's always a joy when I get to talk to Erica and George. If their is ever a problem with the item being back ordered. Erica will always give me a call to let me know and either wait or substitute an item in place of what I have ordered. George will email you to see if everything is ok with the order and is greatly concerned with making the customer both a happy customer and a satisfied one as well. I don't have it installed yet but I well post pics of it when I do get it installed.
I would highly recommend etrailer to any first time buyer, you'll be glad you did......
The quality of products is excellent, the speed of delivery is excellent, and the customer service is excellent! All items were exactly as described and total install time for my hitch, wiring harness, and my six trailer tire downs was less than two hours. I'm impressed and extremely satisfied. Great people to deal with. I'll be back in the future when further needs arise. Thanks again.
I purchased this for a 1999 Dodge Ram Sport. It ended up installing easily enough but the holes on the truck frame did not match up with the hitch. We could only secure it with 2 of the 3 screws. If you have the tools, you could create a 3rd hole in the truck frame but I chose not to.
No complaints at all. I was concerned with the 9" drop and pulling heavy loads but the hitch has held up perfectly with a 10k pound trailer. Buy American.
This is the third hitch receiver I've purchased through etrailer. Shipping is always extremely fast, much faster than Another online retailer. Never had a problem and will be making more purchases from etrailer in the future.
Looks like top quality. Fits nice.i also like how it tucks up high under the bumper. Only complaint I have is you have to drill 2 holes in the frame. I had assumed it was direct fit with no drilling.
When I recieved my order , it was in a timely fashion . The hitch itself was of the highest quality . I will be doing more business with e -trailer for sure . I was very happy with everthing .
Great heavy product, been showing it off to friends.
Telling to go to etrailer to find parts
It's a good product with prompt delivery. I have ordered with etrailer before, I have always had proper fit and good services.
Excellent. Very easy to install. It said I would have to drill but never needed to. American made! It will definitely out live the truck. Very very fast shipping!
Best hitch I’ve ever owned install was fast and easy took only 30 minutes to do super well built too
