We offer two brands of 2-inch front-mount hitch for your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 and both can be seen using the link provided. Curt # 31320 and Draw-Tite # 65033 share a square tube design, 500-lb vertical pull and 9000-lb line pull capacities and no-drilling installation.

Neither hitch will require fascia trimming on your Ram 1500; this is required only for the Curt hitch when installed on 2006 and later model years. Both products' instructions are linked as are a video for the Curt hitch # 31320. I also included two helpful articles covering hitch installations.
