How To Add a Trailer Hitch To a 2019 Ram 1500 with Cross Tube Under Rear Bumper
Updated 01/02/2020 | Published 01/01/2020
Question:
I just got a 2019 Ram 1500 and went to look under the rear bumper to find out I have a hitch but no receiver tube. What gives? How do I add the receiver tube?

Expert Reply:
The 2019 Ram 1500 would have came from the factory with either a factory trailer hitch that has both the cross tube and receiver tube opening or it could have came without the factory hitch that has the cross tube but not the receiver tube opening. Therefore, if you have the cross tube under the rear bumper but not the receiver tube opening then all you need is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13419 which is a simple bolt-on installation.
I have attached an install video for you on this process as well as a photo.
