Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500
Published 02/21/2018
Question:
It looks like my truck with the EXPRESS package has the bib support tube for a bumper ball. To improve this do you remove the factory frame tube? Or is there an adapter to a receiver type hitch?

For your 2017 Ram 1500 that does not have a factory trailer hitch the Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 75662 is a confirmed fit and has a towing capacity of 600 lb tongue weight and 6,000 lbs total trailer weight.
This bolts below the rear bumper/frame like you mentioned.
I attached an install video for this hitch as well.
