Which part number is yours

Pick the part by the truck first. Part 96954 is the F-150 hitch. Reese lists the 2015-2020 and 2021-2026 F-150 separately, each with a 30-minute install, no drilling and no exclusions or notes, and the same part, 96954, covers both. Part 96913 is the Ram hitch. Reese lists the 2019-2026 RAM 1500 with a 30-minute install, no drilling and no exclusions or notes. Reese lists no bed length, cab style or trim split for either part, so the match is the truck name, the model year range and the part number. One printed figure looks odd. The F-150 hitch weight of 24.23 lb is far below the 49 lb that Draw-Tite prints for its Ultra Frame F-150 hitch, 41954, but 24.23 lb is the value Reese prints. Read the weight line on the retailer listing if shipping weight matters to you.

Questions owners ask

Which Reese Class 5 hitch fits a Ford F-150?

Part 96954. Reese lists the 2015-2020 and 2021-2026 F-150 separately, each with a 30-minute install and no drilling. It is rated 11,000 lb gross trailer weight and 1,100 lb tongue weight.

Which Reese Class 5 hitch fits a RAM 1500?

Part 96913. Reese lists the 2019-2026 RAM 1500 with a 30-minute install, no drilling and no exclusions. It is rated 15,000 lb gross trailer weight, 1,700 lb tongue weight and 17,000 lb weight-distributing.

Does the Reese Class 5 hitch need drilling?

No. The maker lists both 96954 and 96913 as no drilling, with a 30-minute install on each truck and no exclusions or notes. Both use a 2 inch square receiver.

Why is the Reese 96954 hitch weight only 24.23 lb?

That is the weight Reese prints. Draw-Tite prints 49 lb for its Ultra Frame F-150 hitch, 41954, so the Reese figure looks low, but it is the number Reese gives. Check the retailer listing for the weight.
