• Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Ram 3500
  I really like the Demco Hijacker Autoslide, part # DM8550035. The hitch has a high quality jaw that holds the king pin very tightly, avoiding much of the chucking and rattling. The # DM8550035 has a 21K capacity, and will slide rearward automatically during sharp turns to provide 14 inches of clearance between the front of the fifth wheel and the rear of the truck cab. No more exiting the truck to release the slider. The # DM8552026-71 install brackets/frame rails are recommended. If you...

  You are going to need to add rails for your 2016 Ford F-250. Your truck did not come with the factory under bed prep/puck system. I have a couple different options you can consider for carrying a 5th wheel hitch. First is the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 which will install above bed rails. These are the rails which were traditionally used with most 5th wheels installed in trucks. The above bed rails are always mounted inside the truck but they will allow you to...

• 2014 Ram 3500 pulling 2017 Forrest River WolfPack 285pack13
  The Curt Q20 # C16530-16021 that you are asking about has built-in cushioning that helps absorb road shock, because of this it is not compatible with rotating pin boxes like the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder. I called Forest River to verify what kind of pin box that your WolfPack 285Pack13 Toyhauler uses and my contact said that it uses a standard pin box. The Curt Q20 will work great with your trailer on your 2014 Ram 3500. If your Ram doesn't have a...

• Will 7-Way Installed in Truck Bed Provide Power to Charge Battery of Truck Bed Camper
  The accessory power wire from the 7-way doesn't have enough power to charge a depleted battery. It can maintain a fully charged battery, but won't recharge one that's dead. To recharge the battery, using shore power and a charger like the CTEK # CTEK56353 is the best way to go. To provide the connector in your truck bed, I'd recommend the Hopkins # 41157. You can see an installation video by clicking the provided link.

  Yes, the B&W # BWRVK3500 does fit your 2016 Chevy 3500HD even though it's a standard bed. Generally a standard bed uses a sliding hitch but if for one reason or another you don't need the extra turning clearance then a fixed hitch works just fine.

  If the in-bed 7-Way on your 2002 Ford F-350 was damaged then you likely need to replace the entire wiring harness with something like the Hopkins # 41157. It would be best to inspect the connectors for any damage as well.

• 5th Wheel Towing Capacity and Hitch Recommendations for a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD Short Bed
  The dry hitch weight, also called tongue weight for travel trailers or pin weight for 5th wheel trailers, is the amount of weight pushing down on the trailer hitch. Dry means the trailer is empty; no cargo, water, propane, just the trailer by itself. So the dry weight is less important than the actual hitch/tongue/pin weight when the trailer is loaded and ready to tow. Based on the figures you have provided the trailer has a hitch weight that is 21 percent of the gross trailer weight (21...

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed
  Since the bed length of your 2004 GMC Sierra is less than 8 feet you will need a slider hitch to allow you to make tight turns without cab interference.
