EF3409B1-271B-44A2-AF6D-06218AA52E19.jpegI would like to install a front hitch on my 06 Ram 2500. Would like feedback on which is the easiest to install. The only video I found was for the Curt 31017. Was wondering if anybody has found an easier brand like Reese or draw Tite that is easier to install, and if they found an install video of the procedure. I am coming up on 70 and easier is better for me.
TIA

I just bought the Curt front hitch, does not look fun to install for one old guy, going to have to recruit some help or just have the shop install it.

At a certain age, way more sensible to just pay someone else to bark their knuckles and pull a muscle.

Yes they do have install videos, just not for my 2006 diesel Ram PU.

I am looking for one that bolts into the Tow Hook spot. I saw it a while back. But cant find it now. Could not tell if your truck had tow hooks?
That would make an easy peasy install. Weight rating is probably limited depending on what you have planned for it.
Good Luck
