Anyone towing conventional with 2013-15 Ram 2500

I have a 13 2500 and pull a 30' 9k toyhauler. I have not had any issues with the hitch breaking. I have however bent a hitch pin, I believe this is due to the additional play that the 2" to 2.5" adapter creates.

I haven't towed much with mine yet but I've noticed the design looks a lot like the OE hitch on my old 2500HD that was know to have issues. I think it's odd there's no rating sticker on it too.
Mine also has a ton of play in it that I don't really care for.

2-1/2" WD shanks are available, so you could eliminate at least half of that slop.

I've heard some talk on other forums about the factory hitches breaking on the 4th generation ram trucks when towing and I'm curious if yall have anything to report. I've had trouble located a definitive guide that tells the load rating of the factory hitch. It is noted as a class 5 and it accommodates a 2.5 inch ball mount. I'm gonna run a WDH with my trailer but I'd still like to feel comfy that this factory hitch is up to the task.

It's rated for 1800 lbs. No issues with mine as of yet.

I use the 2.5" adapter that came with the truck with my 2" Equalizer. My tongue weight is only about 800-850lbs, but I haven't had any issues so far.

Only issues have been class 3 hitches installed on 1500 Rams and sales person mistakenly telling buyers they are class 4 hitches.

Although not a Ram, my OEM 12.5K lb 2" Ford receiver started egging out the hitch pin hole after about 75K miles towing 11.5K lbs. I was able to weld thick plates to the outside of the receiver and redrill the hole. The actual hitch held up well, but when I upgraded to a Torklift SuperHitch the OEM looked like a toy compared to my upgrade. BTW: The SuperHitch includes a reinforced hitch pin hole which my OEM did not. My chassis cab Ram did not come with a receiver, so I cannot comment specifically about Ram's OEM receiver. I went with another SuperHitch on this truck.

I have one and no trouble with it.

I have about 1400# on my '13, and haven't had any issues at all.

Thanks for the replies. I feel a little better knowing that they seem to be performing good. I had read somewhere that they beefed the hitches up on the 13-15 models.
