CURT 13333 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Select Dodge, Ram 1500, 2500, 3500

Perfect fit on a 2021 Ram 1500 Classic. Took 15 minutes to install. Thick, heavy steel and solid hardware. Finish looks perfect.

I bought my 2013 Ram Express without the factory hitch receiver. I figured I could save a bit of money and just add one when I needed to pull a trailer. Well, the day came when I had to pull one, so I ordered the Curt 13333. This receiver matched right up to the factory bolt holes in the frame member that runs behind the rear bumper. I watched a few YouTube videos of the installation process prior to attempting the install which made it easier to understand. The instructions explain it well enough, but I like to see it actually being done as well. The only part that you'll need to be very careful with is feeding the bolt through the frame member. The kit includes the wires to do this, but you will have to remove the wire and hold the bolt as you put on the nut. If the bolt falls back into the frame you'll have to either try and fish it out or just buy a new bolt. The only other part that required any special attention was getting the right hex bit for the bolt that goes down through the bumper, and borrowing a torque wrench strong enough for the required settings. Once it was all done, the hitch performed flawlessly in allowing me to tow a medium sized motorcycle trailer.

Great quality part and easy install with the included hardware.

This will fit a 2019 Ram Classic 1500 Warlock although it says it will not. First of all, it is made with good quality. The installation was super easy and if you don't understand the directions, there are several videos out there on YouTube to help out. However; the torque rating on this hitch is absurdly high 380 lbs for the M14 (main bolt) and 110lb (Two other bolts). I have a torque wrench that only goes to 150 lbs and I could not find any others that went higher than 250lbs. Using my wrench it was difficult to tighten the main bolt. I borrowed one from O'Reilly's near me and I couldn't even get the main bolt to 250lbs. As I started torquing it, the head where the hex socket goes started to strip out and so I stopped at about 200 lbs. I researched OEM hitch torque specs and they aren't even close to being this high. I called Curt and they said the torque the main bolt to 320lbs which is extremely difficult with the hex socket. All in all this hitch seems great, I'm not sure the torque specs are right though, seem really high.

Great product

This hitch receiver is very high quality. Solid construction, nice big hardware, and very simple to install. I did the install by myself in under 30 minutes, but I did have to go to the hardware store to pick up the 1/2 inch Allen wrench which some others also did not have handy. The lack of this somewhat specialized tool is why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5. I wish this tool came with the purchase to avoid finding one after the install was mostly complete. I just torqued the rear two nuts and will get to the main bolt before I tow anything. ProTip - if you don't have a buddy nearby, use a jack to hold the receiver in place while installing. I used a 2 1/2 ton floor jack which was obviously overkill, but it kept it in place while using the fish wire. I think on some trucks it may be more difficult than on the Ram, the tube that needs to be fished is really big so the coil easily goes through the back and up the sides, then you can put the coil through the plate and then torque the bolt into the coil, then pull the wire back through the tube. Don't release the coil off of the bolt too quickly though, just take two or three threads off and start to put the nut on, then carefully take off more threads of the coil as you spin the nut onto the bolt. If you drop that bolt you are going to have to drop the whole bumper frame off to get it out - not my idea of a good time. Luckily if you think it through, and pay attention (and watch the video on youtube if you still don't feel comfortable) it's really easy. Great product, great price. ****Update*** I called Curt Manufacturing regarding the torque values as the 250 lb-ft seemed high for the 3/4 inch bolt. It turns out in June they updated these values to be even higher! the 1/2 inch nuts should be torqued to 110 lb-ft and the 3/4 inch bolt should be torqued to 380 lb-ft!

Meine Hiddensee Hitch war verbogen und brauchte für den Urlaub schnell Ersatz an meinem RAM. Die Qualität ist perfekt und alle Montageteile sind auch dabei. Montage bei meinem 2007 RAM waren in etwas 20min. Aber musste mir einen hier zu bekommenden Zöllischen Steckimpus Satz kaufen das ich diese Größe nicht hatte. Bin sehr zufrieden und kamen gut 👍 m Urlaub an . Klare Kaufempfehlung 🤌.

This product fit Perfectly on my Ram 1500 Classic 2019. Similar item from the Ram dealership was twice the price. Quality is flawless, construction and finish is excellent. Installation was very easy and quick. I have already towed a 6’X12’ U-haul trailer with it for 800km. No problem at all. I would certainly recommend this product.

So... I read all the reviews before purchasing this product because the Amazon icon under the product says it did not fit my vehicle. My vehicle is a 2021 Dodge Ram Classic with crew cab and night edition if that matters. This hitch is correct for my vehicle and it was the one they recommended at Napa but $80 cheaper on Amazon. I want to address some of the things I read in the other reviews. First, I did not need to lower the spare tire but depends what you plan to tighten the nuts with. I used a large wrench which will tighten better than a socket anyways. Next, once you fish the bolts threw, (which was easy) use a set of needle nose to hold the bolt until you get the nut started. Not sure how you could lose the bolt in the frame unless it falls back in after you take the fish wire off. I call bs on anyone saying the wire broke. Next, people complain the kit does not include the cap for the hitch ball cover. You just reuse the one on the truck, unless it's missing on your truck. Sorry that's on you. Can get them at the dealership I'm sure. 2 things I didn't like, the main bolt that comes down threw the bumper hitch hole is a hex. I didn't have one that big so had to buy one. Think I remember it being 1/2. No big deal, makes sense being inset so the cover fits back on. But the biggest problem was this is less than a 1 beer task to install. I think Curt should really get a couple more steps in there instructions so it can be at least a 1 beer job, 2 beer job would be even better. What I'm saying is it is super fast and easy to install. Thanks

Massiv gearbeitet. Gut lackiert. Aber Front schräg zusammengeschweißt ... US Qualität! Musste bei Montage Wagenheber benutzen um bei der 2. Bohrung die Löcher in Deckung zu bringen. Rest war dann superleicht montiert!

The hitch fits my 2015 RAM 1500 perfectly. Installation was a breeze, as the other reviewers mention make sure you have a 1/2" hex bit for the top bolt. The hardware to install are Grade 8 bolts, more than adequate for the weight rating of this hitch. It's easier to drop the rear tire which allows you to get the correct torque on the 2 back bolts. Fishing the wires was a breeze using the provided fish wires and I used an adjustable visegrip to hold the bolts before removing the fish wire - Nothing fell in. Put some locktite on the bolts and that was it. The hardest part was dropping the rear tire for the first time and torqueing the bolts. A great install, looking forward to hauling some loads with this. Very pleased overall with the quality, well made !
