I have a 96 Ram 1500 6cyl 3.9L 2wd Automatic with an 8' bed.
I wanted to ask you folks for a good source to buy a good priced receiver that will be used on rare occasions to trailer a 2000 lb. tractor on a borrowed or maybe a bought used tandem trailer. I've been watching Craigslist but haven't seen anything.
Would the weight make shipping too expensive to buy from a national dealer?
Should I just shop locally or has anyone ran into this shipping cost dilemma before?
Thanks in advance

Check www.etrailer.com They have free shipping on $99+ orders.

 

Thanks Kejobe,
They have good pricing on receivers as well as a wide assortment.
I also found lots of other nice mods to fit my Plain Jane 96 Ram 1500 ! Time to start saving up some $$$$

 

Why not go to a yard and pull one off a junker?

 

Hello..I've been thinking about that.I would think the junkyard folks would have already pulled anything those

 

I got one from a truck I've been parting out. Message me and we'll work out the details. In located in KY, but I can ship it to you.

 

Hello,
Thanks for replying to my post.
You mentioned you have a receiver from a parted truck. Can you tell me anything about it, condition, brand, ball inserts etc? Maybe even a wiring setup if you have that too.Just any info if you have it handy.
And how much you'd want for it. I live near Memphis,Tn so at least our states touch.lol. Long states though.
Thanks for your help JollyGreenGiant.

Torx, I just sent you a private message with some details in it. That way, it's kept between us.
