5th Wheel Hitch for 2016 Ram 3500 With Factory Prep Package
Question:
I forgot to mention that the pin box is a 16,000 KW, so I could use a 16,000 KW hitch. My next thought is that for a little bit more I want to get a manual slider hitch because I’m buying the RV used to I don’t know what condition the pin box is in or if it functions. Right now it is bolted in the fixed position. What manual slider hitch would you recommend? Is there a Kurt that fits the same situation?

I highly recommend part # C16046 for your 2016 Ram 3500 with the 6 1/2 foot bed. This hitch is designed for an 8 foot bed but your trailer already has a rotating pin box so this fix mounted fifth wheel hitch works for you.
This hitch will also drop into your factory puck system so the installation is super easy and your air system isn't an issue either.

I would like to play it safe and get a manual slider hitch in case my respin box for some reason does not work. It is currently bolted in a fixed position and I don’t know if the RV dealer did that or if the previous owner did that.
