Hodenn 2" Trailer Tow Hook Receiver Fit for Dodge Ram 2003-2014 Hitch Truck Front Bumper with Cover

Looks solid, but I can't use it for the application I intended. Attached it to the bumper of my pop up trailer and the bumper is to weak and I don't want to hurt someone driving behind me or cause an accident. I think I'm past the return date, so I'll prob just keep it and I hope it comes in handy someday or get motivated enough to reinforce or build a stronger bumper.

I wouldn’t change anything on it built very well. Easy to mount to tractor blade to move your trailers around hook hitch to pull stuff it’s great set up.

So my application isn't exactly what this hitch receiver is intended for but works very well to add a 2 inch receiver hitch to a lawn tractor. Although most lawn / garden tractors have a tow "hole" the vast majority of those will not support even modest tongue weight and there may not be enough clearance between the hitch ball and the bracket - the height also may be too low for some trailers. This seems to fit the bill and allows me to move my utility trailer from the back yard to the drive so I can use it behind my truck. I plan on buying other 2" receiver accessories such as a basket/carrier for bags of mulch, etc. The hardware included is nice quality with two flat washers and a lock washer per bolt the nut have nylon to keep from coming loose too. for the $27 (at the time of purchase) it was a far less expensive option than other "universal" hitch options for garden/lawn tractors.

Great product! Love that it came with all the hardware and the extras! Heavy duty receiver hitch a fair price!

The hitch is great but the hardware is a waste. Bolts were a couple sizes too small. I like to do it right the first time to just went to the hardware store and got 1/2 bolts. Going to put one on the rear for accessories as well. Very solid.

very good quality

Immature title a side it's a great value. So many places to use this on truck, trailer, tractor, implements, barn etc. I mounted it to a skid steer quick attach frame for moving trailers at the cabin. Got the last one, now out of stock. I'd get a few more if they had them in stock. I'll put one on my box blade another on my carryall and so on. I might even put one on my 1 ton Dodge like it's advertised for.

When you advertise a part for a specific vehicle rather than as a universal part, it is expected to bolt on directly or at least be a good fit. This part fails on those criteria for my 04 ram 1500. Yes, the flange fits into the bumper, but the existing holes don't match up. For cosmetic parts or something intended for compression loads like a push bar, that's not ideal but is still acceptable. For a tension joint that's going to experience thousands of pounds of pulling force, not so much. The existing bumper bracket already has holes close to where the bolts need to go, but not quite, so you've gotta choose between the small hardware included in order to leave as much of the bracket intact as possible, hoping the bolts don't break, or using larger bolts and weakening the bracket and hoping that the bolts don't tear out under load. A better solution would be something that bolts through the frame on the outside of the bumper bracket, leaving room for a bull bar, or at least matching the existing holes. I guess these are better than nothing because of the sharp edges on the bumper itself, but I'd be hesitant to do a double line pull or a snatch strap recovery on just one of these anchors. Definitely use two, and figure out some kind of backing plates for them and maybe even weld the backing plates to something bolted through the frame.
