Question:

Which front receivers will work on the above vehicle as it has a built in winch and a front brush guard. Judging from the instructions, the Curt unit for a Ram 2500 does not interfere with the brush guard. It is the winch I am most concerned about.

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31015 will fit your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. I have included an image below of this receiver installed on a Power Wagon so you will be able to see how it will fit. It mounts below the winch so you will not have any issues with that. As you mentioned the brush guard I would need to know exactly what brush guard you have to determine if it will be an issue as I do know it will fit with some units but can't say for sure what all will fit.

I prefer to use the WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step # WT81BS1XL when not using the receiver. This will help to protect the receiver tube and also make it easier to access under the hood of your Ram.
