Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.

How much can a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 17,000 lb gross trailer weight and 2,550 lb tongue weight, or 17,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Ram 2500 has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55381 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Ram 2500's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.

Will it fit my Ram 2500?

Nearly every build, with a few exceptions. CURT 14361 is for a Ram 2500 that didn't come with the factory receiver. CURT 13361 is for a Ram 2500 that didn't come with the factory receiver. The full fit table is on each product page, so check it before you order.
