A receiver like this one accepts a ball mount or other 2 inch receiver accessories for towing and cargo carrying. It is built from rigid, rust and wear resistant materials, and its design aims for durability and safe towing. Check the truck against the trim list below before installing.
Key features
- Class V weight class for heavy-duty towing.
- 2 inch by 2 inch receiver size.
- Rear mounting position.
- Direct fit for selected Ram 2500 and 3500 trims.
- Black finish.
- Rigid, rust and wear resistant materials.
- Roll pan use needs confirming against the roll pan’s own instructions.
Choosing a receiver setup
The right ball mount for a receiver depends on the trailer’s coupler height and the drop or rise needed to keep the trailer level. A mount that is too high or too low can make the trailer sit unevenly and shift the weight onto the rear axle. Measure the trailer and try the fit before you tow.
Because this receiver is a Class V unit, plan your accessories around its weight class rather than using whatever shank is at hand. Keep the pin and clip in good shape and avoid mixing in a mount with a worn shank. Lightly greasing the shank each season keeps it sliding freely and resists corrosion.
- Match the mount’s drop or rise to the trailer’s level
- Replace worn pins and clips rather than reusing them
- Clean the receiver tube before inserting the shank
