RAM 1500 Trailer Hitch questions

My '03 Ram measures 2" from top of bumper to bottom of hole so you'd need at least that plus room for the nut on the bottom (if it is the same as mine). Looks like a 1" diameter shank will fit. Max tongue weight is 500 pounds on the built-in bumper hitch. The 03's had as standard a flat 4-pin connector (even if you don't have the towing package) but don't know about an 02.

That V-6 will have its hands full towing 3000 pounds.

Sorry about your grandfather.

Good luck and be careful,
Bill

RAM 1500 Trailer Hitch questions

My favorite options on my 4.7 2wd Ram:

Premium seat (electric adjustments incl. height and a 2nd "hidden" center console under the middle seat)
Limited-slip rear
Lowest rear gears you can get (highest numerically)
Folding mirrors (I think it is standard equipment but can't remember - have to fold one to get in a standard garage door)
Sport Package - just for looks.

I like my chrome 20" wheels, but the tires haven't come down in price any, can't say I'd do it again.

Good luck,
Bill

RAM 1500 Trailer Hitch questions

I wonder if the downshifting is the transmission, regardless of engine? My friend's 360 Ram is always looking for the right gear. I guess you'd get used to it, but it is annoying to drive occasionally.
