Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

Equip your vehicle for towing and hitch-mounted accessories with a dependable CURT 2" trailer hitch. Designed for a vehicle-specific fit, CURT receiver hitches provide a strong and secure connection point for towing trailers, carrying bikes, transporting cargo and using other compatible 2-inch hitch accessories.
Our selection of CURT 2-inch receiver hitches includes options for trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and passenger vehicles. Each hitch is engineered to match specific vehicle mounting points, helping provide a clean installation and dependable performance. Depending on the vehicle application, available options may include Class 3, Class 4 and heavy-duty receiver hitches with different gross trailer weight and tongue weight capacities.
A 2" x 2" receiver opening is one of the most common hitch sizes and works with a wide range of towing accessories, including ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, hitch steps and tow hooks. When towing a trailer, you may also need a properly rated trailer ball, hitch pin, wiring harness, brake controller or weight distribution system.
CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

Yes, the Draw-tite Class 4 Trailer Hitch, 2" Square Receiver, Black for Select Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram 2500, Dodge Ram 3500 75420 (Part #DT75420) is designed to fit the 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500.
The Draw-tite Class 4 Trailer Hitch, 2" Square Receiver, Black for Select Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram 2500, Dodge Ram 3500 75420 (Part #DT75420) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 75420 fits Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models without an original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M.) hitch. The installation procedure differs between short-box and long-box configurations: on short-box models, align the center hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame; on long-box models, align the forward hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame. Only one forward attachment per side is necessary.
On short-box models, align the center hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame rail. On long-box models, align the forward hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame rail. Additionally, long-box 2500 and 3500 models require two 3/16" × 2-1/8" × 2-1/8" round-hole blocks, which are not used on short-box or 1500 models. The slot used for bumper bracket attachment also differs: use the slot for 1500 models or the slot for 2500/3500 models depending on your truck.
The 75420 is a weight-carrying ball mount hitch with a maximum tongue weight of 600 lb (272 kg) and maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lb (2,724 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits. For weight-distributing applications, the maximum tongue weight is 1,000 lb (454 kg) and maximum gross trailer weight is 10,000 lb (4,540 kg), again not to exceed the vehicle manufacturer's rating.
You will need wrenches in 3/4" and 7/8" sizes. A torque wrench is also required to tighten all 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m). No drill bits are needed as no drilling is required for this installation.
The 75420F fastener kit includes: (2) 1/2"-13 × 2-1/4" Grade 5 hex bolts; (4) 1/2"-13 × 1-3/4" Grade 5 carriage bolts; (6) 1/2" flat washers; (6) 1/2" lockwashers; (2) 1/4" × 1-1/2" × 2" blocks; (2) 1/4" × 1-1/2" × 3" blocks; (2) 1/4" × 2" × 2" square-hole blocks; (2) 3/8" × 1-1/2" × 3" blocks (use as needed); (2) 3/16" × 2-1/8" × 2-1/8" round-hole blocks (2500 and 3500 long-box only); and (6) 1/2" hex nuts.
No, no drilling is required. The installation uses existing holes in the frame rails and bumper bracket. The fasteners are installed through slots in the frame and aligned with existing holes in the hitch side brackets and vehicle bumper bracket.
1. Raise the hitch into position by moving it forward to clear bumper mounting bolts, then slide it rearward, aligning hitch holes with large holes in frame rails and the slot in the vehicle bumper bracket. 2. Install the hex bolt and flat washer through the slot in the hitch side bracket into the slot in the bumper bracket on each side, using the correct slot for your truck model (1500 or 2500/3500). Use a 3/8" thick block if necessary between the hitch side bracket and bumper bracket. 3. Slide 1/4" × 1-1/2" × 3" blocks and 1/4" × 2" × 2" blocks through the end of the frame between the frame spacer and vehicle crossmember, aligning them with holes in the hitch side bracket. Fishwire carriage bolts through the slot in the frame rail and down through the blocks and side brackets. Finally, tighten all 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) using a torque wrench.
Fishwire refers to a technique of threading or guiding the carriage bolts through the slots in the frame rail. You use a wire or similar tool to pull the carriage bolts through the slots in the frame rail and down through the blocks and side brackets to align them with the bolt holes. This allows the bolts to be properly positioned before final tightening.
On long-box models, align the forward hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame rail. Only one forward attachment per side is necessary—use either the center hitch hole or the forward hitch hole, not both.
On short-box models, align the center hole in the hitch with the hole in the frame rail. Only one forward attachment per side is necessary—use either the center hitch hole or the forward hitch hole, not both.
The 3/8" × 1-1/2" × 3" blocks are optional and should be used only as needed. Install one between the hitch side bracket and the vehicle bumper bracket if necessary to ensure proper alignment and fit during Step 2 of the installation.
No. The 3/16" × 2-1/8" × 2-1/8" round-hole blocks are required only for 2500 and 3500 long-box models. They are not used on 1500 models or short-box configurations.
All 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) using a torque wrench. This applies to both the hex bolts and carriage bolts used in the installation.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced immediately.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends regular inspection but does not specify an exact interval beyond 'frequently.' Verify that all 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners remain at 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) torque.
The manual states to check the hitch frequently, ensuring all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened, but does not specify a retorque interval in miles, hours, or time. Regular visual inspection and torque verification are recommended as part of routine maintenance.
On some models, it may be possible to install the rearmost carriage bolt through the end of the vehicle crossmember and down through the block and frame rail into the hitch side brackets. This is an alternative method noted in the instructions but is not required on all vehicles. Follow the standard procedure unless your vehicle's frame configuration allows this alternative.
The 75420 fits all Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models without an original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M.) hitch. Installation differs for short-box and long-box configurations.
You need 3/4" and 7/8" wrenches and a torque wrench. No drilling is required.
Weight-carrying: 600 lb tongue weight, 6,000 lb gross trailer weight. Weight-distributing: 1,000 lb tongue weight, 10,000 lb gross trailer weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's rating.
Tighten all 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) using a torque wrench.
No, no drilling is required. The hitch uses existing holes in the frame rails and bumper bracket.
Wear eye protection, observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle, and do not cut holes with a torch. If removed, plug all holes to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
Check frequently that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Verify all 1/2" Grade 5 fasteners are at 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) torque.
Yes, a compatible bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory with a 2" x 2" shank can generally be used. Make sure the accessory does not exceed the hitch’s tongue weight rating, the vehicle’s limits or the accessory manufacturer’s capacity. Account for the combined weight of the carrier and everything loaded onto it.
