Can Draw Tite Front Hitch and Grille Guard Install on 2021 Ram 2500 at Same Time

Published 12/16/2025

Question:

2021 Ram 2500 Hemi, I have a front grille guard and want to know if this part will give me enough clearance. Could you give exact measurements of the part so I can measure for fitment. Attached are pictures of grill guard crossbar that sits across where license plate goes.

Hey Aaron, normally anytime someone wants to fit a front hitch with a grille guard the answer is no but in your case there's at least a sliver of hope it might work. Does your grille guard attach to the inside or the outside of your truck frame? If outside then this could work as the front hitch attaches to the inside of the frame instead. Longer hardware might be needed to fit through mounting brackets of both though.

Guard is attached to inside of the frame. However, it won’t let me attach pictures to the ‘reply’ to display how it’s mounted. It’s only attaches to 1 of the 3 mounting points that are needed for the hitch, per side

@AaronJ yeah we don't have ability to add pictures in comments at this time as odd as that may sound. It does sound like the two wouldn't fit together if they share the same mounting point on the frame of the vehicle.
