2020 Ram 1500 hitch question

[joebone1]

My 19 ram I run the 2 inch drop and it runs the trailer at a perfect pitch.

I use a Anderson drop hitch on my last 3 trucks. I currently have a 2020 Ram with the Air Suspension so not sure I need it anymore.

If it’s the same truck and boat as in your signature photo then it doesn’t look like you need to change anything as far as hitch height. Maybe a slight drop, but it looks pretty close to ideal already.

Yes same....I have a slight trailer sway at higher speeds.

Then you should look first at not enough tongue weight as mentioned. Or, you have an undetected trailer suspension issue. Improper axle alignment can cause trailer sway. Another cause could be how the load is distributed in the boat itself.

[Riccochet]

yeah, not enough tongue weight is the #1 cause. Level or slightly low tongue is what you should tow with.

My rig is a 2020 Ram 1500 with air suspension and I have the B&W 3 ball hitch with the 5” drop and I couldn’t be happier.

Put the suspension in aero mode then check for level

3" drop with my 2018 Ram

This seems about right for me also (2016/Gen 4), I had been using a 2" drop curt, but picked up a tow n stow this week and am using the lower set of holes (3") and it rides/pulls so much better. I could probably even have went with the 5" drop, but due to my inclined driveway clearance on the lower/under ball was getting close, so I went with the 3" drop. Still, that one inch made quite a difference, which surprised me.

B&W adjustable

Pricey but it’s the way to go no doubt

[Jboutfishn]

Are you pilling the boat all the way into the cradle?

[jomo924]

Yes same....I have a slight trailer sway at higher speeds.

I have the 2500 which is higher sitting and I use my b&w hitch 1” up from bottom , I also use the trucks “lowering button “ to make hitching super easy

I just got the bulletproof hitch. Man its awesome! I tow at 4 inches and it feels great. I also have a 2020 Ram 1500 as well. I have the Ecodiesel though.

Also, this may be noteworthy to you. I installed a 2 inch leveling kit at the front and I added air bags to the rear. Air bags really help keep the rear end from really sagging when towing.

I found when I tow at anything above 4 inches its really tough to drop the trailer. Something about that angle makes it tough for the ball to drop off. At 4 inches its easy peasy.

So on my way back from Champlain, 2 inch do a fine this time around after switching to Lithiun. Thanks for the suggestions!

I tow a lot (boat, ice fishing wheel house, ATV trailer, etc) and have been through a lot of adjustable hitches. But so far my choice is this:

Pricey. But if you tow a lot spending the money on a quality, adjustable hitch is money well spent.

I also have a Ram 2500. I run an adjustable drop hitch set at 7" of drop just to make my boat trailer level. They keep building these trucks higher and higher, I swear.
