Just out of curiousity, why are you replacing the factory hitch?Has anyone out there replaced their Factory Trailer Hitch with a Aftermarket Trailer Hitch on a 2019 Dodge Ram ?
Just out of curiousity, why are you replacing the factory hitch?
Hi snowman. Replacing the factory hitch because, the Receiver Hitch Coupler on my car trailer requires a Drop Down Receiver to keep it level to the road.
Otherwise, if I use the factory hitch on the rear bumper and hook that up to my car trailer, the tail end of the trailer is about 3" from dragging on the ground .... unloaded.
Plus, the car trailer (Big Tex) has a pointed, not round, hitch coupler that sits too close to the license plate for my liking. Thanks.
I guess I should have clarified....do you have the factory class 4 hitch, or are you just towing off the bumper(I'm assuming this)? It Hought you were looking to replace the OEM class 4 hitch.
Tradesman comes standard with a class 3. It seems he is saying his doesn't have one at all.
Could you clarify this @Captain
I have to admit I was very confused with him saying he had to removethe hitch.Maybe the class III hitch is actually just the bumper with a spot to mount a ball. The class IV hitch is a propper 2 inch reciever type hitch. Some pictures of his class III hitch would surely clear things up.
Either so you don’t have to pay for it if you aren’t going to use it, or so they can charge you for it as an option.just purchased a '19 Ram 1500 Big Horn last week. Does anyone know why it doesn't come with the standard 2" hitch receiver and just the bumper style hitch? With such a big increase in towing on the new models it would seem logical that it would be standard.
