I only mentioned the date because if it's really old it's integrity MAY be compromised is all. You got a pretty good deal if that hitch is in decent shape. The thing is, you don't know how well or how abused this hitch was treated before you got it.
When I bought my '06 RAM it had a hitch already mounted very similar to what you have now. I was leery of it at first too. I had NO idea how many winters it had spent in the bed subjected to salt spray, snow, dust/dirt or whatever but after taking the head off of it and cleaning it and lubing it I felt comfortable using it.
I would say just be cautious the first few times you hook up. Enjoy your hitch!
