Hey, Tim!
That’s a great question! I double checked for you, and there aren’t any special installation differences between the two years. The process will be the same for the Curt front mount hitch # C87FR.
I’ve linked our 2021 install video below so you can follow along step by step.
What are you going to be using the front mount hitch for?

Hey Tim, how did the install of the Curt front hitch go on your Ram 1500? Did the 2021 video line up well with your 2022 setup? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same truck.
