Hello neighbors. It’s Brad here etrailer, and today we’re taking a look at the etrailer hitch receiver on a 2022 Ram 1500. Having a hitch on a truck seems like it goes hand in hand. It allows you to be able to tow trailers or actually just load up accessories whenever you need to. And the great part about newer trucks is a lot of them will come with a bumper reinforcement bar that allows you to bolt up a receiver hitch, and that’s what this is here. It’s not a full hitch, it just simply bolts up to the factory mounts.

And this is a great way to have a hitch installed within just a few minutes. Now, this is gonna be a great addition, and Vena class 3, it actually has decent weight capacities. Your gross trailer weight rating is gonna be 6,000 pounds which is gonna be the weight of the trailer plus the accessories loaded up on it. You also have a tongue weight rating of 600 pounds and that’s the downward pressure on the receiver tube opening. So a lot of your suspended accessories like your bike racks or cargo carriers pushing that weight on, you have up to 600 pounds, so a decent amount.

Now, if that weight rating is too low for your application, you’re planning on doing some heavier towing, then this might not be for you. We have other options available for the Ram that will work great and really bump up those numbers. Now, those are gonna be a little bit more of an install but we have those options here at etrailer and you’re gonna be having nearly three times the amount of towing capacity. Now, if you are looking for a higher towing capacity, some of the ones you might wanna look at would be the Draw-Tite or CURT class 4 and 5, and that’s really gonna bump it up to a much higher towing capacity. And it’s gonna be a little bit more for your work trucks or towing heavier trailers.

But this one, if you’re not planning on towing a large trailer or a boat or camp or anything along those lines, this is gonna work great for everything else that you’ll need. Now, taking a closer look at the hitch receiver, you’re gonna see it has a five eight hitch pin hole here. Now it does not come with a hitch pin clip, but this is gonna be required to put your accessories in place. And a lot of times your accessories will actually come with these, but if you wanted to pick up a locking one, we have a bunch of ones available here at etrailer, that way, when you load your accessories up you can lock it in place, and it’s not gonna have your accessories walking away in the hands of someone else. Now at the gate, you’re gonna see also that this is a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening.

So that’s gonna be a pretty common size for a lot of different accessories. There’s also a reinforced collar here for a little bit of heavier duty protection as well. It has a nice carbide black powder coat finish, so it’s gonna be looking really nice over the years, even when it hits road, grim and salt it’s gonna prevent that rust and corrosion from occurring. It also has a rolled style safety chain loop here which is definitely large enough to be able to hook up your trailer with standard size hooks or even a larger Clevis style, there’s no problem to be able to hook up to it. Now, a few quick measurements here, we’re gonna measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the rear bumper. And that’s gonna put us right at about two inches and that’s kind of important for your fold up accessories like your cargo carriers or bike racks, make sure it doesn’t hit your bumper but seeing that this one’s almost flush you shouldn’t have any issues there. Now we do wanna measure our ground clearance as well. So from the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground we’re looking at about 19 and a half inches and that’s gonna be plenty to where your hitch will never really make contact with the ground, but when you load up your accessories like your suspended ones, say a bike rack or cargo carrier, a lot of times you need to be cautious when you’re going up an incline or on some rough pavement as it can be closer to the ground. So something to keep in mind when you have those loaded up. Now, as far as the installation goes, it’s actually really easy. There’s gonna be three bolts that will be putting in place. Now the top bolt does require a pretty high torque setting with a torque wrench, and you may need to be renting a torque wrench or finding someone that has a very large one in order to get this torque down, but other than that, the installation’s extremely simple. And we’re gonna take a look at that now to get your hitch installed. Now, if you’re looking to add a receiver hi
