Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 2500 Van and 3500 Van (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 800 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

Curt part number 13590 is designed for 97-04 Dodge Vans with factory step bumper. If your vehicle matches this year range and has a factory step bumper, it should fit. Confirm your vehicle year and bumper type before purchasing. The bumper mounting bracket shape may vary depending on model year.
The kit includes: 4× M12×1.25 hex head cap screws (10-10331), 6× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (20-00062), 2× 1/2-13 UNC hex head cap screws 1-1/2" long (10-10334), 6× 1/2" washers (30-00149), 1× 1/2" fishwire, 4× 0.250×1.50×2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP33), and 4× 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts 1-3/4" long (10-10272).
No drilling is required. The hitch uses fishwire fasteners that thread into existing access holes on the underside of each frame rail. If your vehicle has weldnuts in the frame instead, you will use the M12 hex bolts and conical washers provided in the kit.
If your vehicle has a heat shield, remove one screw from the bottom of the frame rail before installation so that the hitch bracket will mount flat against the frame.
1) Insert fishwire fasteners through the access hole on the underside of each frame rail. (If your vehicle has weldnuts in the frame, use the M12 hex bolts and conical washers instead.) 2) Raise the hitch into position and install the remaining fasteners through the bumper mounting bracket. 3) Torque all 12 mm fasteners to 86 lb.-ft. and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.
Yes. The wiring harness is located inside the passenger side frame rail. Do not sandwich the wires between the frame rail and fasteners during installation. Take care to route fasteners away from this area.
Torque all 12 mm fasteners to 86 lb.-ft. and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to both the frame rail fasteners and the bumper mounting bracket fasteners.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe operation and prevents loosening due to vibration and use.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch has its own capacity ratings, but your vehicle's manufacturer specifications take precedence. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the maximum towing weight your Dodge van can safely handle.
