Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2016 Ram Promaster 2500 Truck
Question:
I have tried the Curt hitch for my Ram Promaster 2500 with 159inch wheelbase, and the 500 pound tongue weight is not up to par. My trailer bent it to a 45 degree angle! Will the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch fit my vehicle? It looks like a much sturdier design... Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Unless you exceeded the weight capacity of the Curt hitch you said you have, the hitch should not have bent as you mentioned. First I recommend making sure you are within the limits of your truck and also of the hitch you are using.
We do have a Draw-Tite Max Frame trailer hitch, part # 75882. This hitch has a 750-lb tongue weight capacity and a 6,000-lb towing capacity. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.
I recommend having the frame of your truck checked out just to make sure there was no damage when the hitch was bent on your truck.
