Hey Chuck a question since you are a Dodge man, This is a used 2015 and the rear bumper has a mounting hole for a hitch ball? ( I think) If there is no hitch ball installed is there a Plug for that hole ? and I do not think I would tow off the bumper anyway . Thanks

Rich

Not sure on Dodge Rich, but my GM bumper had plugs that poped out of the plastic tread to reveal the hole/ holes for the ball. I run a 1 7/8" and a 2" ball side by side on the bumper for different trailers I have. The ball on the bumper arrangement is rated fairly high, around 3800lb towing capacity if I remember correctly. I'm guessing most full size trucks are similar.

Why do you think they call these things pick up trucks?
