2 1/2" receiver on new trucks with extension?
I'm looking at a new Ram 3500 and it comes with a 2 1/2" receiver as does Ford and not sure on Chevy. I had the Reese Titan on my DRW and used a 4 ft extension when carrying a Lance. Are these stock...

Hello,
We have a 2014 Ram 2500 with the stock 2.5" receiver. I use an Reese extension that is 36" but with the added ball totals out to around 48". I pull a smaller enclosed cargo trailer that has our 675lb Suzuki Burgman in it plus a lot of other gear and spare tires. I think the total weight of the trailer is around 2000-2250lbs. We have had zero issues pulling this trailer using this hitch combination. We do not have any chains added except for the safety chains. There is zero side-to-side motion of the trailer.
