Will TorkLift Hitch Work With Factory Hitch and Frame Mounted Camper Tie Downs?

Question

Question:

The previous owner had a fifth wheel attachment that turns under the bed when in stow. The regular trailer hitch is a factory hitch I think. I have a set of your frame mounted camper tie downs installed as well. Will your TLD1102 work with these. 2012 Ram Heavy Duty

With a factory hitch on your 2012 Ram 2500 or 3500 series truck, the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - Dual 2" Receivers # TLD1102 is compatible to give you 2 hitches that can use a SuperTruss extension like # TLE1536. This hitch will work with frame mounted camper tie downs.

Hey Eric, The hitch extenders that we currently offer for a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening unfortunately max out at 6,000lbs GTW and wouldn't be capable of towing the trailer. You're most likely going to need to upgrade to a TorkLift…
