Great Hitch!

I mounted this hitch on my 2002 Ram Dually. It fit perfectly. It is the one that says "requires drilling" but all I had to do was enlarge 2 holes because of bigger bolts than factory. Arrived quickly and had all mounting hardware, plus reinforcement tabs for the frame. I'm very happy with it.

Curt 15300 for 10” Step Bumper

The Curt 15300 hitch looks like it has a quality paint coating (time will tell in Mn winters with road salt etc). The fabrication and welds are of good quality. However when it came to installing it on my 1994 f-250 the extra holes that are supposed to line up over the truck frame rivets were off alignment so much that I had to grind the rivets off both frame rails. The other hitch bolt holes were fine. Installation for my son and I was 1 1/2 hours.

Curt Hitch

This hitch is a beast. CARiD fantastic customer service. Ordered the wrong hitch first. The return was fast and they paid the return shipping. Install was straight forward. Pay attention to the metal support parts that go on the bolts before you drill to get everything centered. Installed by myself.

Totally Awesome

I bought a 7000 lb hitch from Tractor Supply that said it would fit my 2003 1500HD, but that was a joke. I got online and found this one for $100 more at another seller. Found this site and ordered it. They called me last Thursday, 4/20/23, and told me it would ship on Monday and that would receive an email when it did. I received the email today, Monday and when I checked the tracking it was already out for delivery. When I opened it I could not believe how heavy and well built it was. This is way way better than the Tractor Supply one that didn’t fit. It was nice to finally buy something that was what it said it was and was built far beyond expectations.

Very Reliable and Powerful Hitch.

Very reliable and powerful hitch. For mounting on a RAM 3500, it takes 3 hours of time to a trained locksmith. Not so simple as they say manufacturers. It is necessary to remove two rivets from the frame in order to free the holes for the bolts. The product is very good.

Trailer Hitch

Fits great and it was easy to install but the black finish wasn't that good, so I applied 6 to 7 coats of Herculiner.
