  • Carr Custom-Fit Hoop II Side Steps for 2018 Ram 2500
  • The correct Carr Custom-Fit Hoop II Side Steps for your 2018 Ram 2500 is indeed the part # CARR109771 that you see on Carr's website. This is confirmed to fit your truck and they can be mounted along any of the doors for your Ram. The Carr Side Steps # CARR105771 that you referenced are designed for certain model years of the Ram ProMaster, Dodge Sprinter, and Mercedes Sprinter Vans. The mounting brackets simply won't match up well to the rocker panels on your Ram 2500.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ram 3500 Short Bed with Factory Prep Kit
  • For your 2018 Ram 3500 with the factory prep kit and a 6-1/2 foot bed I highly recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3670. This particular hitch is designed to drop right into the factory pucks on your Ram (all other available sliding hitches require an additional adapter to connect with the pucks) and the 1 inch thick dual jaws on the head make for an extremely secure connection for a quiet and smooth ride. The Companion also has a fully articulating head to help with...

  • Recommendation for Carrying Kayaks With TracONE Ladder Rack on 2018 Ram 1500
  • You can carry kayaks with the Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XT that fits your 2018 Ram 1500 (all bed sizes). Since the bars are too wide for traditional kayak carriers you can use the Thule Surf Pad # TH845000 and to secure your kayaks you can use the Thule Express Surf Strap - Stretchable Tie-Down # TH531 along with the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # TH855XT.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover for 2019 Ram 3500 With 8 Foot Bed and Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • For a tonneau cover that will work with your 2019 Ram 3500 that has an 8 foot bed and a fifth wheel hitch I highly recommend checking out the Pace Edwards JackRabbit # 311-JRD7936. This is a retractable tonneau which makes it ideal for a fifth wheel hitch, although please keep in mind the highest point of the hitch must be 2 inches below your bed rails for a tonneau to close over it. The JackRabbit # 311-JRD7936 is made of aluminum panels, can be easily retracted with the turn of a knob...

  • Quietest/Smoothest Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Ram 3500 with OEM Rail Kit
  • For your 2021 Ram 3500 with the OEM rail kit the high capacity fifth wheel hitch I recommend is the Reese M5 part # RP37FR that has the 27k capacity. I have a buddy who went from the Companion hitch to this and he said this hitch was much smoother and easier to use. Keep in mind the Companion for a long time was considered to be the quietest hitch out there so if the M5 beats the Companion it would be the ultimate hitch solution for you.

  • Parts Needed To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty RED24FR In 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn
  • To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR in your 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn you will need the Plug-in Adapter # 331-TPH-020. The # 331-TPH-020 will plug in to the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your truck and then into the Liberty # RED24FR. This will be the only wiring connection you will need to make. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Options to Keep the Front of a Food Trailer From Contacting the Rear of a Vehicle
  • We definitely have a couple options available for your situation. The first will be a longer ball mount. Though this will depend on the rise or drop needed and the length of your current ball mount, the Curt # C45270 will handle up to 7,500 pounds towing with a 750 pound tongue weight. This is also 13 inches long when measured from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole. With the added length of a ball mount like this, I highly suggest adding on the Roadmaster Quiet...

  • Will The Replacement 7-Way Coiled Cable Work On My Gooseneck Trailer?
  • The Bargman 7-Way, RV-Style Connector # WG54006-046 is a great option for gooseneck trailers. This 12' long coiled cable will not be dragging around inside the bed as you drive. Also when you disconnect the trailer you can easily slide the 7-way plug into a Bauer Products 7-Way Trailer Plug Holder # BA79VR rather than having to try and coil it up and secure it to the gooseneck.

  • Carrying A RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack On My 2021 Ram ProMaster Landed Gear Spare Tire Rack
  • I do have a solution for you, provided you do not have a factory trailer hitch. In order for this hitch bike rack to fit on your vehicle, you will need a hitch extender if you need 11" of space. Unfortunately, anytime you add a hitch extender you reduce the maximum tongue weight of the trailer hitch by 50%. The factory trailer hitch of your 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500 is 220 lbs. Adding the hitch adapter will change the maximum tongue weight of the trailer hitch to 110 lbs. The weight of your...

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 3500 Mega Cab Short Bed with OEM Prep Package and RhinoBox King Pin
  • Having a 2019 Ram 3500 Mega Cab, SRW, 6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Pkg does allow you to use the fixed hitch such as the Reese M5 for Ram Towing Prep Package, # RP37FR intended for 8 foot beds; providing you have a rotating turret type pin box and have verified cab clearance. The OEM Prep Pkg is the same irrelevant of bed length, so any hitch will drop into the pucks but you need to ensure clearance of the cab and other points when making turns. This is where having a RhinoBox on your...

  • What Brake Controller Do You Recommend for a 2011 Ram 1500?
  • We definitely have a solution for your customer. If your customer has a 4-way and a 7-way installed on his vehicle, he does have his 2011 RAM 1500 SLT Big Horn prepped for a brake controller to use with his trailer. If your customer is comfortable with using an app on a smart phone, by far the easiest controller to install is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles # C51180. With the Echo, there is no complicated install and no bulky cab-mounted unit. You simply...

  • What Hitch Bike Do You Recommend To Carry E-bikes On The Rear Of A 5th Wheel
  • We do have hitch bike racks that will work on the rear of your 5th wheel. My recommendation is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # HLY64FR. This rack is rated to carry e-bikes on 5th wheels. It can carry bikes with tires up to 5" in width and 80 lbs. I would double check your owner's manual to check the maximum weight limit is based on the 5th wheel or the trailer hitch. If the weight of the new hitch bike rack and the e-bikes...

  • Reese Rail Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Ram 3500
  • For your 2012 Ram 3500 we have the Reese Elite fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30158-52 is a confirmed fit. The corrugation of your truck bed and the lack of a flat spot for where the ball/pucks come out would not be an issue either. If you have a long bed and need a fixed hitch you'd want the part # RP30921 or if you have a short bed truck and need a slider hitch to provide turning clearance the correct hitch you'd need is the part # RP30144.

  • Lower Capacity Spring Bars for a Husky Weight Distribution System
  • The 600 pounds of tongue weight is the dry tongue weight. If the trailer has a gross weight rating of 6,800 pounds when loaded to capacity then the tongue weight will be around 680 to 1,020 pounds (10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight). Also, when calculating tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to add in any weight behind the rear axle of the truck. So for example if you had 100 pounds of gear behind the rear axle the tongue weight would be 780 to 1,120 pounds using...

  • Can 2017 Ram 2500 with RamBoxes Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • You are on the right track and have all of the info correct so far. So you will need a Sidewinder on the trailer so that the pivot point is up higher and the pin box won't hit the Ram Boxes of your 2017 Ram 2500 but you need a fifth wheel setup that installs into a standard set of above bed rails since that gives the hitch 4 points of contact instead of just the gooseneck hitch post of the Turnoverball. So you could use the Patriot B and W Hitch part # BWRVK3200 which has the same really...
