Hey Dale. The Curt item # C31017 is the only front hitch available for a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500. It has a 9,000 lbs line pull capacity for a winch, a 350 lbs vertical load limit/tongue weight for carrying accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, and a 3,500 lbs towing capacity for maneuvering a trailer.

There are no front hitches available for your Ram that have a 500 lbs vertical load limit/tongue weight. EcoHitch is the only manufacturer that makes front hitches with that high of a capacity and they don't make one for a 2006 Ram 3500.

What do you plan on using your new front hitch for?
