I can't find anything that shows the factory hitch weight rating other than somewhere I saw not to tow over 12,000 pounds conventional, but I can't seem to find where I saw that on the internet anymore. There is nothing on the Ram site or the Dodge literature. So I'm assuming 12k pounds and 1200 tongue weight max. And 2" hitch.
I've been looking at the Curt Class 5 hitches and it appears that they hang below the factory hitch-does that mean that the factory hitch cannot be removed? I'd go outside and look but it's storming outside here now.
