Can Slider Hitch Be Used with Sidewinder Pin Box
Question:
I already have a curt 16022 for my 2017 ram 2500 shortbed with factory 5th wheel prep. Does this only accept curt slider hitches.? If so, can those hitches be locked out to use with a sidewinder.?

Helpful Expert Reply:
If you already have the Curt rail kit adapter part # C16022 for your 2017 Ram 2500 you most likely already have a slider hitch too. Which you can use a slider hitch with a Sidewinder pin box, but you have to keep it slid forward at all times.
You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
