The hitch receiver size on a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 will be 2 inches in diameter, which is the standard size used by Dodge for the 1500 series. However, the hitch receivers on the 2500 and 3500 series trucks may be larger. The towing capacity for the 2005 Ram 1500 ranges from 3100 to 4950 pounds, which is significantly lower than what Dodge offers on newer models. This means that you won't be able to haul heavy workloads with this truck. But if you're using it for personal purposes, you should have no trouble towing a medium-sized travel trailer.
The Dodge Ram 1500 comes with a 2-inch hitch receiver.
The 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 has a hitch receiver size of 2 inches, but you have the option to upgrade to larger sizes, going up to 4.5 inches.
