The build dates do not apply to the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, only to the 2003 models. For your 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 I have linked all of the trailer hitches that fit. The Curt trailer hitch that you referenced, # 13326 , will fit your Ram.

This hitch will fit 2002 Dodge Ram 1500s and 2003 Dodge Ram 1500s that were built before 11-1-02.

Thank you for the photo; due to the beam that hangs there isn't going to be a way for discontinued hitch 13320 to install properly on your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 because the beam will interfere. Instead you can use the Draw-Tite hitch #75135 which…
