Nilight 2" Class 3 Rear Trailer Hitch Receiver for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2003–2018) — 6,000 lb GTW, Bolt-On with Hitch Cover

Nilight's 2-inch Class 3 rear trailer hitch receiver is a heavy-duty, bolt-on towing assembly made to replace factory bumpers on compatible 2003–2018 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2003–2013 Ram 2500/3500 models (except those already with a factory receiver).

This complete tow combo arrives as a one-piece welded receiver built from thick steel and finished with a black powder coat to resist corrosion. Designed for direct bolt-on installation with no drilling, the package includes mounting hardware, fish wire, and a protective hitch cover so the receiver stays clear of mud and debris when not in use. Its Class 3 ratings support typical mid-size towing tasks while fitting Rams produced after 11/2002.

How much weight can this Nilight receiver actually tow?

The receiver is rated for a 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and a 600 lb tongue weight, suitable for many trailers, boats, and cargo carriers. These ratings are for the hitch assembly itself; always verify your vehicle’s own tow limits before loading.

• Gross Trailer Weight (GTW): 6,000 lb
• Tongue Weight (TW): 600 lb
• Class: 3—common for light trucks and utility trailers
• Confirm vehicle and trailer specs for safe towing

Will it fit my Dodge Ram without modifications?

Yes—this kit is a direct replacement for factory bumpers on specified Dodge Ram model years and bolts to existing frame points with no drilling required. It does not fit Rams that already came with a factory-installed receiver.

• Compatible models: Dodge Ram 1500 (2003–2018) and Ram 2500/3500 (2003–2013)

• Not compatible with vehicles already equipped with factory receiver

How durable is the construction for long-term use?

The Nilight receiver is fabricated as a one-piece welded assembly from heavy-gauge steel to maximize strength and minimize flex under load. A textured black powder coat provides long-lasting corrosion resistance for road and weather exposure.

• One-piece welded design improves structural integrity
• Thick-steel construction resists bending under load
• Black powder coat reduces rust and surface wear
• Designed for regular towing and outdoor conditions

What comes in the package and how easy is installation?

The kit ships with everything needed for mounting and protecting the receiver: the hitch, full mounting hardware, a fish wire for routing bolts, and a rubber hitch cover. Installation is intended to be a direct bolt-on job using supplied parts—no drilling or frame cutting required.

If you need a durable Class 3 hitch with straightforward installation and a full parts kit, this receiver is built to meet those practical towing needs.
