Hi, this is Scott with etrailer and today we're taking a look at installing our Curt Hitch on our 2025 RAM ProMaster 1500. The ProMaster is going to be a really versatile vehicle and you can haul a lot of stuff in this, but it's nice to add to that versatility by adding a hitch. With our Curt hitch here, you're going to be able to add bike racks, maybe a cargo carrier, or even pull some trailers behind this. So this hitch is going to be a really nice looking gloss black. It's going to be a powder coat finish, so it's going to hold up really well over time against scratches and any kind of corrosion. It's going to have a reinforced collar, so that's going to help it be pretty durable.
It's also going to have a two inch by two inch receiver opening, so that's going to accept most of your common accessories that are on the market today. This hitch is going to have a five-eighth pinhole opening, and that's going to hold any of your accessories in to your hitch. Now, this won't come with a pin and clip, so you may want to pick one up here at etrailer. But a lot of your accessories, like your bike racks or your cargo carriers, may come with the anti-rattle pin. This hitch is going to have heavy duty welded on chain loops.
It's going to accept either your S-style hooks or your Clevis style, so either one of those are going to work for you if you plan on pulling a trailer. As far as measurements go, from the center of our pinhole out to the edge of our bumper, we're looking at right around two inches. But that measurement, you'll be able to decide on if you have any accessories that fold up or stow away. We'll make any contact with the back of your ProMaster. Now from the top inside lip down to the ground, for that measurement, we're looking at right at around 18 and a half inches.
That measurement will help you decide on what type of a ball mount you may need, or it'll also help you figure out if you have any accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, if you'll need any rise in the shank of those for clearance. As far as weight ratings go for this hitch, we're looking at a tongue weight rating of 500 pounds. That's going to be the weight of your bike rack loaded down with your bikes or your cargo carrier loaded down with all of your gear, pushing down on the lower portion of the hitch itself. Now for a gross trailer weight rating, we're looking at 5,000 pounds. That's going to be the weight of your trailer and everything that you have loaded on that.
Now keep in mind, it's always a good idea to take a look in your owner's manual and make sure that you're not exceeding any of the maximum towing capabilities listed in there. Now, if you plan on doing some towing with your ProMaster, while you're doing your hitch, it's usually a good idea to go ahead and do your four-pole wiring. I know we do have some options from Curt for that, and they're really good high quality stuff. Another thing to take a look at is maybe a ball mount. I really like the etrailer adjustable ball mounts. Those work out really well, so that way you have that one stop kind of deal where that's going to work for any kind of trailers that you have. Now, if you have any questions or comments about this hitch for your ProMaster van, you can always get ahold of us here at etrailer. We'd be glad to answer any of your questions. Now, as far as installation goes, this one's pretty straightforward and it's pretty simple to do. But if you don't have the time or the tools or the place to do this one yourself, you can always take a look at our installer locator and get something done for you locally. If it's something you feel like tackling yourself, stick around, watch our video, and we'll help you get it installed. To start our installation, I have our van up in the air and underneath of our bumper cover, we're going to have four T30 Torx bits. We're going to go ahead and get those removed. While we're underneath of here, right back here on the back of the body of our van, we're going to have a 15 millimeter nut that goes to our bumper beam. While I'm under here, I'm going to go ahead and get that removed for the 15 millimeter socket. Now we have our rear doors opened up and along the back of our van. For our bumper cover, we're going to have four more T30 Torx spit screws. And again, we'll just go
