Default Hitch

Found this hitch wondering if it will work on my truck. I relies it is a long shot that it will, but i figured i might as well as. My truck is an 07 dodge ram 1500 2wd

Does that just bolt onto the existing hitch tubing?

I have a stock hitch system on my 05 ram with a ball popped up through my bumper.

Would bolting that onto the factory tubing all I need to have a decent hitch setup?

anyone know the hitch rating of the stock system on an 05 ram? class I? II?

Yes it bolts to the OEM cross tube, I think it is a Class III hitch.

awesome... thanks guys.

I was jsut about to order a full Class V hitch assembly, but that means i can get away with bolting the receive on. I dont plan to tow more than 5000lb anyway.

money saved.... might mean new gears
