Expert Reply:

If your 2003 Dodge Ram was built after 11/1/02 then yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 75151 will fit it. This information will be in the door jamb with the other build info.

Otherwise for a similar hitch you would want the part # 75135.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would wand the part # 119178KIT.
