Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For 2019 Ram 2500 6-1/2 Foot Bed With Factory Prep

which slider hitch should I get for 2019 Ram 2500 with factory prep 6-1/2 ft bed

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034 with Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6099 for your 2019 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot bed and factory prep package because of it's ease of use and jaw connection with the king pin. The Autoslide feature of the Hijacker eliminates the need to get out of your truck to adjust the slider when you make turns which can become inconvenient especially in city traffic. It also features a 360 degree contact with the king pin to prevent the rattling and chucking you may experience with other fifth wheel brands.
The adapter part # DM6099 gives you industry standard rails in the bed that drop down into the puck system to attach the Hijacker to. The use of an adapter may seem inconvenient but the convenience of the Hijacker with the autoslide feature creates a much better towing experience overall. I have attached an installation video and photos for your reference.
