Question:

I asked if a front hitch for parking/maneuvering trailer can be installed on 2019 Ram 1500. Answer said yes unless factory installed tow hooks on front. We have a Limited with tow package, and yes, there are tow hooks in front. Does that mean no?

Expert Reply:

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C87FR is a fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with the factory tow hooks. However, the tow hooks will need to be removed in order for the hitch to mount as they use one of the bolt holes needed for the hitch. In order to then assist with vehicle recovery it will be a good idea to keep something like the Curt Tow Strap Loop for 2" Hitches part # C45832 on hand. There isn't a front mount trailer hitches for your Ram that will allow you to retain the tow hooks.

However, if you want to keep the factory tow hooks on the vehicle then you can look into something like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive part # TVXL2 or part # TVXL25 to help maneuver the trailer better while detached from the tow vehicle. I have attached a review video for you as well.
