2014 ram express towing hitch

[lilzilla2008]

My express didn't come with a towing hitch on it. All I need is the plate that bolts up right? I see if for around $100 or so online

My '13 Express also did not come with a hitch. I was not concerned at the time because I do not have anything to tow, but its a truck and its gotta have a hitch.

I bought mine from Curt. I purchased from Autoanything. It bolts right up to the existing tow bar underneath that is attached to the frame. I think it was like $80. Rated to tow 10,00lbs which is more than what the truck is rated for.

Curt 13333 is the plate that bolts up works great used it on my 06 pull cars enclosed trailers no issues. It is worth noteing it's a class 3/4 with out WD you are looking at a rateing of 600 tounge weight and 6k Max trailer, If you go to WD hitch it is 1000 on the tounge and 10k trailer rateing. Curt also makes a whole replacemnt bar that solid for our trucks that's a stright class 4 more expensive and takes longer to install but it's over kill either will work.

Werd.

I got the Curt Class IV full bar - kind of a PITA to install by oneself, and it is overkill, but at $150 it was worth the piece of mind to know that thing will always be beefier than my truck can handle.

Here is what I ordered Wednesday night and it will be at my doorstep today. Factory hitch that comes with the truck if it was built with one.

I just don't trust the ClassIII/IV Mopar hitch - 12K lbs on two bolts? I'll take my six bolts everyday over that. Just scares the hell out of me that someone in the bolt factory screwed up the steel mix that ONE day.

There is actually 3. And the one that goes though the hitch hiole would hold the entire weight I would put money on it. It's not like all 6-7k of what ever you are towing isn't sitting on those bolts it's only 6-800 lbs sitting on the 3. When you put those on there is a plate that slides up behind there the 2 rear bolts go that holds the horizontal load from the trailer.

Fair enough. But I'll still take my monster hitch - just because.

Awesome thanks everyone. I'll be ordering one here soon. It's just going to be pulling a 7x16 trailer with my Polaris rzr and Polaris scrambler on iy
