Best 5th Wheel Hitch to Use With Tonneau Cover 21" from Bottom of Truck Bed on 2019 Ram 3500
Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 3500 with a tonneau cover. The bed is 6.5feet. The height from the truck bed to the top of the tonneau cover rail is 21”. Which autoslide hitch will work best for me?

Expert Reply:
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 is a great choice for your 2019 Ram 3500 with tonneau cover because the hitch head is adjustable between 15-1/4" - 18" tall, so it will fit in the 21" spacing you've got between the truck bed and your tonneau cover. The autoslide feature on the Hijacker means no more getting out of your truck to engage the slider to allow you to make turns and the 360 degree king pin contact from the single piece jaw means a more secure connection with less rattle than a standard slide bar jaw.
I've linked a brief review video on the Hijacker Autoslide for you to have a look at, as well.
