Hitch problem 2020 Ram 1500 bighorn 4x4

[Slayer1962]

I bought my 2020 ram 1500 with the towing package. I was not aware it is just a heavy duty sleeve in the bumper bracket basically. I ordered two receiver hitch mounts from American Truck. Neither fit my truck because it has the "towing package" and that is in the way to mount the new one. I called the dealer and they want to sell me a new crossmember for the back at $285 . Someone has to make a mount that would work under $300 and that would mount on my truck without removing the crossmember? Its not hard to remove i have done it twice lol. Its just the point

I wonder if he has something like this from the factory. I know this is a Curt but it mounts the same as the factory one. Two bolts through the rear cross member and one up through the hitch ball hole in the bumper. (Image and explanation borrowed from another thread)

The 2020 Tow Package(AHC) should have a Class IV hitch already, also comes with brake controller and the tow mirrors. The BigHorn is supposed to come standard with a Class III hitch(XFJ).
Probably a good idea for the OP to pull the build sheet and/or window sticker to see what this truck should have.

That it the pic i posted in another thread, and my description. Lol
But that very hitch is rated class III / IV. I personally have the drawtite version of this hitch as it looked to have beter welds than curt, also a better, more percise fit, and larger hardware. The saftey chain holes are a bit larger on the draw tite also.

Here is a quick pic of the drawtite one.

I looked under my 2020 Limited - I have a "normal" Class hitch.
