asked by: Addison A
Expert Reply:
For a 2014 Ram 2500 with a either short or long bed, I recommend the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWGNRK1384-5W to provide the gooseneck hitch and then add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3400-5W when needed for towing a 5th wheel RV. This is a 20K dual jaw slider type hitch that will provide trhe needed cab clearance when being used on a short bed truck.
This installs easily using existing holes in your vehicle's frame without the need for welding or frame drilling and the truck bed does not have to be removed. But you will of course need to drill a 3-1/2" diameter hole into bed.
Take a look at the product review and installation video attached below.
