I looked for two years for such a bumper and finally decided to fabricate one. Then I stumbled onto this one. So happy I found it! Was easy to install and the instructions are very good. I think a a screw count may have been different on my 2021 RAM but that was the only flaw in the instructions. I wanted a front hitch to carry a small Honda generator. This worked out great. I got the generator carrier and skinny gas can from other vendors. When traveling the generator will be covered and the gas can strapped in.
I am very happy with this product. It bolt right on and is a perfect replacement for the factory. I love the additional functionality I will have with the front hitch. I installed this myself and it took some time but is totally doable if you have any level of mechanical capability :). Well done!
Heavy gauge, well engineered, great welds. Only things that would be nice, would be to incorporate the tow hook threaded insert that's on the OEM bumper. Kind of a bummer to lose that. And color instructions. I know you can download a pdf to your phone but for the extra $1 on an $800 product it would be nice to have a colored paper version vs waking up the phone repeatedly.
Bought this in 2020 and have used it to carry my spare tire. I do have a spare tire cover on. There has been no issues with it making my Promaster RV running hotter than normal. I did not do the install. I took the instructions to my corner garage while I was having other work done and they put it on. They said it was very simple. I am totally pleased with this. I am writing this review today B/C a neighbor wants to install one also so I was looking up the info for him and saw that there weren't many reviews.
The build quality and accuracy of this hitch is perfect.
Instructions are well written with plenty of photos to go with the text. I didn’t have to bend, tweak, or change anything. It just fit perfectly. If you do any work on your own vehicles you can handle this install. The tools required are simple. Phillips head screw driver, 8, 10, and 15mm sockets or wrenches, #30 torx drive, and something like a reciprocating tool to cut out the plastic grill for receiver tube clearance. Welds were excellent, clean, and good powder coat finish.
