$308.11Your 2012 Ram 1500 has four CURT hitches to choose from, and the right one comes down to what you're pulling and whether your 1500 came with a factory receiver. CURT 15572 is a Class 5 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 15,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,500 lb tongue weight, $394.02 CAD. It's for a 1500 that didn't come with the factory receiver. Every one ships free anywhere in Canada.
- CURT 14374 is a Class 4 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 10,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,000 lb tongue weight, $432.71 CAD.
- CURT 13333 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight, $162.69 CAD.
- CURT 13374 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight, $345.78 CAD. It's for a 1500 that didn't come with the factory receiver.
There's a front receiver too. CURT 31374 mounts behind the front bumper of the 2012 Ram 1500, rated to 5,000 lb with 500 lb tongue weight, $308.11 CAD.
A hitch is the receiver only. If you're pulling a trailer you'll need a wiring harness for the brake and turn signals, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way.
What you need to tow with a 2012 Ram 1500
A bike rack only needs the hitch. A trailer needs all three, and every piece ships free anywhere in Canada.
- CURT 15572 hitch, $394.02 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the 1500.
- Wiring harness. Needed for any trailer with lights; pick four-flat or seven-way in the wiring guide.
- CURT 45836 ball mount, $41.70 CAD. Ball mount with the ball already on it, ready to hook a trailer. Bigger coupler? CURT 45041 carries a 2-5/16-inch ball, $62.42 CAD.

2012 Ram 1500 hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2012 Ram 1500?
CURT 15572 (Class 5, 2-inch receiver, 15,000 lb), CURT 14374 (Class 4, 2-inch receiver, 10,000 lb), CURT 13333 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 6,000 lb), and CURT 13374 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 6,000 lb) all fit. 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 2012 Ram 1500 tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 15,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,500 lb tongue weight, or 16,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your 1500 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.
Does the hitch come with trailer wiring?
No. The hitch is the receiver and hardware. For a bike rack you don't need wiring at all; for a trailer you need a harness, and the wiring guide covers four-flat and seven-way.
Will it fit my 1500?
Nearly every build, with a few exceptions. CURT 15572 is for a 1500 that didn't come with the factory receiver. CURT 13374 is for a 1500 that didn't come with the factory receiver. The full fit table is on each product page, so check it before you order.
