2024 RAM 2500 Reducer Sleeve missing

[zenderxt]

Just took delivery on a 2024 RAM 2500. Does anybody know if RAM is no longer providing the reducer sleeve for this model year? I scoured the entire vehicle in all the places people have mentioned on this forum, no luck.

Thanks!

My 22 had one and don't like it at all, I prefer not to use one, don't like what FCA sent with the truck, so when I get ready to tow again will buy a new 2.5

My '22 came with one, I gave it to my FIL because his '23 F250 didn't come with one and I kept the one from my '17. I love it, it works great, I'm not trying to run max capacity on that hitch, and honestly I never hear it rattle (I leave my B&W hitch in unless I'm pulling our camper) and haven't had any issues with holes walloping or the pin shearing. If anything the only reason I need to replace the pin is because it is now almost 6 years old and the salt they put down have made it REALLY hard to remove the spring pin - I have to grab it with a set of pliers and work it back and forth until it comes off. Pin still slides out great.

My '24 did not come with one, either. When I asked, I was told Ram no longer includes it, just like they reduced the XM trial to three months, shrinkflation.

My 2023 came with one. I use it when towing my smaller utility trailer, which is what I tow most often, so it just stays in there.

Yea that is what I suspected also. I got confirmation from the Dealership today that for the 2024 year it's no longer included, so I will have to source my own.

RAM may no longer include it, but I would make dang sure the dealer dug one up for me. They're like $15 at WM; dealer price would be 1/4 that so they can toss me a $5 bone for buying a $60,000 truck.

I never even gave it a thought when I picked up my truck last March, the salesman is the one who mentioned it and I didn't know what he was talking about at first.

I definitely did ask about them throwing it in and they showed me the towing parts lists at least for my dealer and they did not have a single sleeve on the list. I guess I could have made a bigger stink about it, but I wasn't sure it was worth it arguing over 15 bucks. Which like you said is why it should come with the truck and them removing it is petty for how expensive these things are.
