Expert Reply:

The factory 2-1/2 inch receiver on the Ram and Ford trucks have more rounded corners whereas the Titan pintle hook mounting plate, # RP45294 has corners that are more squared. As a result, they tend not to fit together unless you remove some of the powder coating on the shank of the mounting plate. Do not remove any of the metal, though, just powder coat.

A better fit would be # 45156 which has more rounded corners.
