Trailer Hitch receiver options for a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT pickup begin at Class III. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13374 that you mentioned is a confirmed fit for your vehicle provided the pickup does not have a factory-installed hitch. This model has a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) of 6,000 lbs, or 10,000 lbs when used with weight distribution.

If you're looking for a product with more towing capacity, another option is our Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75232. This model has a maximum GTW of 10,000 lbs, or 12,000 when used with weight distribution. Both are rated as Class III hitch receivers, and both are confirmed to fit your vehicle. To be safe, it's a good idea to check your owner's manual to verify the towing capacity of your truck before towing anything.

The wiring kit, ball mount, pin, and clip are sold separately from the hitch receiver. If you are interested in completing your tow package, we have a wiring kit, # C59236, designed for 2016 Ram 1500s without factory trailer connector. We also sell various ball mounts, such as this adjustable ball mount, # D900, designed for use with 2” trailer hitches and including three hitch balls of varying sizes to meet your towing needs. I have attached a useful article on how to choose a ball mount for your convenience.
