For the 2017 Ram 2500, Curt offers the # C31015 and Draw-Tite offers the # 65063. The difference between the two is that they mount in different places on the front of the vehicle, and the Curt model fits 4WD trucks only.. The Curt models installs so that the receiver tube sits under the front truck bumper while the Curt model's receiver mounts in a cutout in the center of the bumper so the receiver tube sits just above the license plate. The Draw-Tite version fits both 2 WD and 4 WD models. I've provided a side by side photo showing how both hitches appear once installed.

I've linked to install videos for both hitches.
