Hello,
I told you all I would be asking questions about towing/trailering.
Unbeknownst to me, I thought my new 20' Big Horn V8 Quad Cab would have come with a Trailer Receiver hitch much like my '17 Express had. I'm looking to tow a car in April from NY to Miami and back. Am shopping car haulers now as well.
Seems the Class III bumper hitch is of no good use for this. Was looking at the E-Trailer website and saw two Class IV receiver hitches; one that that says with Factory Hitch and one that says without factory hitch; both priced at $275. Assuming I'd have to go with the without factory hitch option, though I have a bumper hitch?
Also, looking on Rockauto.com, under the class IV trailer hitch section (looking at 2019 5th Gen section) , there are two Mopar options.
1. MOPAR 68240557AB Class IV Receiver Hitch, Class IV; CREW CAB W.B.2; 4WD $183
2. MOPAR 68265142AB FitsClass III; Exc. Class IV Receiver Hitch; Sedan/Quad Cab Short Wheelbase; 4WD
orClass III; Exc. Class IV Receiver Hitch; CREW CAB W.B.2 $149
Not even sure one of those apply to my quad cab application. And it seems a little weird that the Mopar hitches would be that much cheaper than E-trailer's offering.
Anyone add a hitch receiver on their truck that only came with the Class III bumper hitch?
Thanks!
