It weighs 7800# My Truck can tow up to 9200# Can you please advise me of the kind of hitch you would recommend? I am looking through your site and Im ready to buy . I just am not sure of which one.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Hitch part # 14361 that you referenced would be a great hitch for your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. I checked with Curt and this hitch will fit your truck as long as it is not a 6 foot bed.
If you do have a 6 foot bed you could get the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75420 as this is a similar hitch that would work with a 6 foot bed.
Both hitches have enough capacity for your trailer.
