Ram Promaster Class 3 Heavy Duty Hitch Install - Curt Hitch CMF 13207 Compatibility Issues!!

Hey drifters, welcome back to our van build video series where we show you one chaotic project after another. If you like our content, please like, comment, share with your friends, and subscribe! Thanks!

Today's project is the installation of the Class 3 Curt Hitch (Part number 13207) on our Ram Promaster 2500 Van. What initially starts out as an easy 45-minute job quickly turned into 4 hours!

Long story short, this hitch is supposedly compatible with the Ram Promaster 2500, according to Curt and Uhaul. Hoawever, some vans (like ours) have a grounding stud on one of the frame rails that interferes with the hitch. Watch the whole video to see how we discovered this issue and what we did to fix it and move forward with the hitch installation. We'll post a follow-up video of the wiring harness installation as well.

Here's a few links to the tools you might (will) need for this project:
