Replacing Factory Trailer Hitch on 2018 Ram 3500
Published 11/13/2019
Question:
Hello. I would like to replace the factory hitch on my 2018 Ram 3500 with a beefier 2-1/2 inch model. Is this possible and if so, which hitch would I need? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
Yes, to replace the factory hitch on your 2019 Ram 3500 I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Class V Hitch Receiver # DT45509, which will provide you with the larger 2-1/2" receiver and a robust towing capacity of 18,000 pounds. It's specifically designed to install on your Ram once the factory hitch is removed.
I have attached a customer-submitted image of the hitch installed so you can see exactly what it will look like on your truck, along with the written install manual that you can look through.
