• Can a 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Be Used in a 2019 Ram 3500
  That really depends on the 5th wheel hitch that you have and what set-up is in your Silverado and the Ram. If you have a Silverado with no OEM prep package (puck system) and you are using a hitch with industry standard rails, then you would need industry standard rails like the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 in the Ram to use the hitch. If you have the OEM prep package in either the Silverado or Ram, you will either need a replacement base or an adapter...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Rails for a 2022 Ram 3500 w/ Ramboxes
  Congrats on the new truck! Towing a 5th wheel trailer with your Ram 3500 will be difficult because of the tight bed space with the Ramboxes but it is possible. You will need a 5th wheel hitch, a set of industry standard rails, and a sidewinder pin box. A sliding hitch will not work. For the base rails you will want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16430-204. This rail kit is custom fit and installs in predrilled holes in your Ram's frame. This kit has shorter rails...

  For A 2021 Ram 3500 you can use the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit - Gloss Finish # C16100 but they will require drilling into your frame so I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 instead which is a custom fit and will drastically reduce your installation time.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ram 3500
  We do have a large selection of great fifth wheel hitches that will work well on your 2018 Ram 3500 to tow your DRV Mobile Suite trailer. If your Ram does not have the factory rail kit and has a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend a sliding hitch like the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550037. This is an excellent hitch that will actually slide automatically as you drive to give you 14 inches of additional clearance for tight turns with your short bed truck. It has a 21,000 pound gross towing capacity...

• Curt Rail Kit Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2013 Ram 3500 with a Lil Rocker 5th Wheel

• What Is the Weight Capacity of the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2019 Ram 3500
  For starters, the fifth wheel install kit I recommend for a 2019 Ram 3500 is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16430-204 which does not require any drilling into the frame. The Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kits does save money but is not a good option because it requires drilling into the frame. In regards to weight capacity, there isn't one for the base rails or frame brackets because this will come from the fifth wheel hitch. In other words, the weight...

• Using the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box with Reese 5th Wheel Hitch On a 2019 Ram 3500 with RamBoxes
  If your Grand Design Reflections 150 comes with a Lippert Turning Point Pin Box then there will be no need for a Reese Sidewinder as these both serve the same purpose which is to move the pivot point therefore making for more turning clearance. The only thing you would need is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and for that I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 because of the dual locking jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin therefore making for a smooth ride. This Reese...

• Auto Slide Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 3500 with Air Suspension
  I have a great solution for you. The Demco Hijacker AutoSlide Hitch part # DM8550035 is designed to fit industry standard style fifth wheel rails.

The hitch I mentioned has a 21k capacity and will automatically slide as you make tight turns.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for a 2013 Ram 2500 and Valley PowerPull 5th Wheel Hitch
  Your Valley PowerPull 5th wheel trailer hitch will fit in industry standard above the bed rails. Since Valley is no longer in business there isn't a Valley kit that will fit but you can use an installation kit from a different manufacturer and the hitch will fit. For your 2013 Ram 2500 I recommend the Curt custom installation kit # C16430-204 because it involves less drilling and takes less time to install than universal or semi-custom kits.

  Thank you for providing the photos of your 2014 Ram 3500 dually. I am not sure what brackets you have tried previously, but perhaps they were part of a universal 5th wheel install kit that requires drilling into the vehicle frame. We do offer a custom bracket 5th wheel installation kit for the 2014 Ram 3500 SLT without the factory rail system. Kit # C16430-204 from Curt includes custom frame brackets that install to existing holes in the truck frame using included hardware and without...

  The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 without Factory Prep Package is part # C16430-204. This kit offers a mostly bolt-on install with no drilling into the frame required. If you do have the Factory Prep Package however then you will instead need to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch part # C29BR. These kits will both provide a set of industry standard above bed rails which allow you to use a standard fifth wheel hitch like the Curt CrossWing...

• Will A Standard Pin Box Work With A 2019 Ram 3500 Short Bed With Ram Boxes
  Since you have Ram Boxes you would need to use a rotating pin box that pivots at the connection point on the trailer in order to prevent the pin box from contacting the sides of the bed when you make turns. You would need a pin box like the 5th Airborne # RP61412, but would need to first verify the bolt pattern of your current pin box to determine if this will fit or if you'll need a different option that does match your pattern. This style pin box will also increase your turning clearance...

• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2013 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  Either the Curt # C16541 A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch w/ Slider with its 20K capacity or the 20K Capacity B&W BWRVK3270 Patriot Sliding Fifth wheel hitch would be a great choice. Both hitches are high quality, and would offer you a secure, relatively smooth ride. For the Curt hitch, use the # C16430-204 rail kit or for the B&W Patriot, use # BWRVK2605. My only issue with bed rail mounted hitches is the fact that the rails remain in the bed when you're not using the hitch. If you don't use the...

• Differences Between Curt And Reese 20K Fifth Wheel Hitches For 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 8 Ft Bed
  There are a few differences between the Curt and the Reese fifth wheel hitches. I am comparing the 20,000 lb hitches, the Curt is part # C16130, and the Reese is part # RP30928. Both are good hitches but do have some differences to take note of. Both have custom installation brackets available. The Curt hitch has a vertical load limit of 4,000 lbs, and a height adjustment between 13 to 17 inches, where the Reese hitch has a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs and a height adjustment from...

  The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16049 comes with everything that you need to install on a 2017 Ram 3500 assuming you have the factory in-bed puck system (see photo).
