Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Dodge Ram 2500
Question:
We have a 2014 2500 Dodge Ram pickup with a 6 foot bed. We recently purchased a new 5th wheel - dry weight apx 14000. We would like to purchase a automatic sliding hitch. Can you recommend a product?

Expert Reply:
We have just what you need! The Demco Hijacker hitches slide automatically as you make tight turns so they are the perfect solution for you. For an 18k Hijacker you would want the part # DM8550034.
And then for a rail kit custom fit for your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 short bed you'd want the part # DM8552025-71 which is also designed to work with the Demco hitch.
