if the hitch is the same as it is for the 02-05 (which i think it is)...you actually have to unbolt the bed, lift the bed up and then slide the trailer hitch between the bed and the frame....thats how it was for my 02......more of a PIA then you think

The "second part hitch" is quick and easy to install.
Remember I am talking about an 08.

Hi- I am considering buying an 06' Ram 5.7l V8 engine. I need to have tow/haul, etc to tow a two horse trailer (approx 10,000 lbs). Anyways, the dealer just called and said the truck they got from auction has tow haul but does not have the reciever, etc. They can put it on for $500.00 or I can get it done at an auto place (like a Cole Muffler) for $200.00.
I have a few questions, one being is there any difference in towing ability if the reciever, wiring, etc is added now? Secondly, I would like to be able to go in and get the price down from what was quoted ($17,900 with 34,000 miles) so is there generally a price difference for a truck with the reciever already installed v. having the tow/haul package but no reciever?
Thanks,
Ava
