Ram 1500 Classic Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Ram 1500 Classic in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this DS-body pickup, then open the live CURT Class 3 shelf we stock for listed Classic years. CURT 13374 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-four Ram 1500 Classic on the live card, with older Ram 1500 years also noted on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about six thousand pounds gross trailer weight and six hundred pounds tongue weight, and it is also compatible with weight distribution at about ten thousand pounds gross and one thousand pounds tongue on the hitch card. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Many Classic owners still haul a utility trailer, boat, or toy hauler on the older body style, so treat the hitch rating as hardware capacity under the Ram sticker. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.

Parts-counter shortcut. Start with the door sticker, open the live CURT hitch card for your Classic year, then plan lights and brakes before the first night tow. Broader Canada shopping help lives in our buying guide, how to choose a hitch, what hitch class do I need, and Ram 1500 hitch guide for the newer DT body. Prefer the full index?

Match a two inch shank to the Class 3 or Class 4 tube, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.

The live hitch path for listed Classic years

CURT 13374 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-four Ram 1500 Classic on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed two thousand nine through two thousand eighteen Ram 1500 years. On the hitch card it rates about six thousand pounds gross and six hundred pounds tongue, with weight-distribution notes at about ten thousand pounds gross and one thousand pounds tongue. That is honest mid-duty Class 3 hardware sized for everyday trailers that still respect the Ram door sticker. The live card also notes an exclusion for trucks that already have a factory receiver, so read that badge carefully before you order.

When you need more hitch capacity on a listed Classic year, CURT 14374 opens a Class 4 two inch path on the same body family, and CURT 15005 is the in-stock Class 5 option that names two thousand nineteen Ram 1500 Classic on the title with about fifteen thousand pounds gross and one thousand seven hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card. Use Class 5 only when the door sticker and trailer actually ask for it. Newer DT-body Ram 1500 shopping belongs on our separate Ram 1500 buyers guide, not this Classic page.

We do not invent a Classic-only wiring harness promise across every listed year here. Many of these trucks already carry a factory seven-way, but still confirm lights and a brake-controller path before the first Canadian night tow.

CURT 13374 Class 3

In-stock two inch Class 3 for listed Ram 1500 Classic years on the live card. Primary Classic hitch on this shelf today when you want everyday trailer duty under the door sticker.

Parts-counter note. Confirm your Classic year still sits on 13374. Heavier listed years can move to 14374 Class 4 or 15005 Class 5 when the sticker and trailer ask for it. Confirm lights before you invent a plug.

Do I need a brake controller

How to shop without getting lost

Step 1Read the door sticker

Find the Ram tow and tongue numbers for your Classic. The hitch cannot raise that limit.

Step 2Open 13374 for listed years

Confirm the live Class 3 card still shows your Classic year on the sheet.

Step 3Step up only if needed

14374 Class 4 and 15005 Class 5 sit on the heavier shelf. Use them when the trailer and sticker ask, not by default.

Step 4Confirm lights and brakes

Check the seven-way, breakaway path, and controller before the first night tow.

Always confirm the live hitch card still lists Classic for your year before you order. Factory receiver notes on the sheet still matter. Newer DT-body Ram 1500 years sit on a different buyers guide.
