18000lb or 21000lb Fifth Wheel Hitch For Towing Grand Design Momentum 351M With 16800lb GVWR
Question:
I own a momentum 351M GVWR is 16800 would a 18Kslider hitch be enough to function or do I really need a 21K hitch? Thanks in advance then answer determines the time to purchase either one

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GCWR) of your Grand Design Momentum 351M is 16800lbs the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - 18000lbs # DM8550034 you were looking at will work perfectly, and you will not need the 21000lb version.
Since this hitch is designed for above bed rails, you will also need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552025-71 if your 2019 Ram 2500 does not have the OEM Prep Package, or the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099 if your truck has the OEM Prep Package.
I included videos for all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
