Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2022 Ram 1500 With Factory Class III Bumper Hitch

Question

Question:

I need a trailer hitch that will work with my 2022 Ram 1500. It does not have a traditional receiver but I was told by my Ram dealer it has a class 3 bumper that is used for towing. Does that mean that I just add the hitch ball to the bumper like many of the old trucks did? I already have the 4-way wiring on there as well for my utility trailer.

While a Mopar specific hitch ball can be mounted to the bumper on your 2022 Ram 1500, I recommend using a etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28ZR. This will use the mounting points on your bumper to allow you to use a ball mount like the # C45534. This will move the hitch point further from your vehicle making it less likely that you will damage any parts of your bumper when connecting and dropping the trailer.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
