Question:
Front hitch for my 1999 dodge ram 1500 van Which is the best hitch for the van mentioned above. I want it to push my boat trailer down my long driveway. Do I need to remove the front bumper to install the hitch then reinstall it.....do you have step by step installation photos or a guide?

Expert Reply:
There are no front mount trailer hitches that will fit the 1999 Dodge Full-Size vans. They are not built on the same platform as the Ram trucks of the same generation so the front mount hitches for the Ram trucks will not fit the Ram Vans.
You can install a rear trailer hitch. If your van has the standard bumper then you can use # 13015 (Hitch will not work on models with existing weldnuts on the frame). And if it has the factory step bumper use # 13590.
