Expert Reply:

For your 2021 Ram 2500, the hitch that offers the greatest amount of ground clearance would be the EcoHitch # EH37FR which is compatible with both Diesel and gas engine Ram 2500 models. Since the hitch receiver will be partially blocked by the license plate, the hitch includes a license plate holder that mounts in the receiver tube so you can still display your front plate, if you live in a state that requires one.

The Curt # C31089 is less expensive, but it sits lower on the front of the vehicle and would reduce the front ground clearance/approach angle. This hitch also fits both gas and Diesel models.

I've provided a side by side photo showing the as-installed appearance of both front mounted receivers.

Even though this page states that the Front hitch Curt C31089 works for 2020 Ram DIESEL, the manufacturer's website reads that it is NOT for Ram diesel trucks. Which one is correct? Appreciate your reply.

@FrontD I've just looked up the Curt # 31089 front receiver on Curt's website, where it shows that the hitch fits all models of the 2020 Ram 2500. Where did you see the notation that it won't fit Diesel trucks?
