Expert Answers about Ram 2500


  • Easiest to Use Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Rail Kit
  • The best fifth wheel hitch recommendation I can make for you is the Demco Hijacker AutoSlide part # DM8550034 because this hitch automatically slides back as you make tight turns to give you the needed clearance without forcing you to get out of the truck ever. To fit the hitch to the factory rail kit of your 2018 Ram 2500 you'd need the Demco Ram rail adapter part # DM6099. With this installed the hitch will easily install. I attached an install video for both the truck and rail kit...

  • Recommended Sway Bar for 28 to 35 Foot Camper
  • For a sway bar that will work nicely on the camper you are looking to purchase I recommend the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660. Since your camper will be longer than 26 feet it is recommended to use two friction sway control bars so you will want to order two of these kits. This unit uses tension/friction to fight against trailer sway that is caused by winds, winding roads, or sudden maneuvers. It simply attaches to either side of the trailer tongue and the ball mount on your...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2013 Ram 2500
  • For your 2013 Ram 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W along with Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1313-5W. This is an excellent hitch that gives you the gooseneck option and the clean bed when not in use. It is made extremely well and I personally think it is the best hitch for your truck. You will want the slider for turning clearance if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed. If you have an 8 foot...

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
  • For your 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon the best air bag suspension kit is the part # F2598 which we have confirmed with Firestone as the correct fit for your truck. The Firestone kits are known to be the highest quality so we recommend them the highest. I attached an install video link for this on a similar Ram for you to check out as well. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate...

  • Whats Difference Between Truxedo Lo Pro QT Tonneau and Pro 15 Tonneau for 2016 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • Both of the Truxedo tonneau covers you mentioned are a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ram 2500 6-1/2 foot bed but the difference between the Pro X15 part # TX1446901 and the Lo Pro QT part # TX546901 is how low of a profile you want. The Lo Pro will sit above the bed rails about 1 inch whereas the Pro 15 sits only about 1/2 inch above the bed rails. The 15 in the name represents the angle of the side rails which is what allows it to sit lower.

  • Recommended Hitch Step To Get In Truck Bed Camper Installed In 20118 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • That will really depend on how long you are needing the step to be. All of the hitch steps we offer are designed for 2" receivers, so to be able to use one of these with the 2-1/2" receiver on your 2018 Ram 2500 I first recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 which will give you an extra 7" of extension. This extension has a max tongue weight capacity of 500lbs or reduces the capacities of your hitch by 1/3rd, which ever is lower but since your truck is a 2500 you should...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed With OEM Prep Package
  • The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16520-16021 you were looking at will fit directly into the OEM pucks in your 2017 Ram 2500. However, you will want to go with a slider hitch since your truck has the 6-1/2' bed. For a slider hitch I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521 with Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022. The reason a slider...

  • Grille Guard Recommendations for a 2018 Ram 2500
  • We do have a great selection of grill guards and bull bars for your 2018 Ram 2500 which I have linked for you to filter through. The most popular among the selection is the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard which comes in Stainless Steel # 45-3550 as well as Black Powder Coated Steel # 40-3555 and it gives you that classy grille guard look.

  • Adapter to Allow Viewing of Truck Bed Camera and Tailgate Camera of 2016 Ram 2500 When Wanted
  • Yes, I checked with GCH and they told me that the OBD Flasher for Truck Bed Cargo Camera Kit # 3460019 does work on the stereo setup you have on your 2016 Ram 2500. This allows you to have the ability to switch between the cargo camera to the tailgate camera at the rear of the truck.

  • Lift Kit that Fits 2016 Forrest River Sabre 28BH
  • For your 2016 Forest River Saber 28BH we have a lift kit that will give you 2-1/4 inches of additional height that will help get the nose of your trailer down so that it will be level with the part # RR23QX. This attaches to the suspension hangers of the trailer and to the leaf springs/equalizer to then give it the additional height you are looking for. I attached a picture of the kit installed on a tandem axle trailer like yours that has the springs over the axles already as well.

  • Suspension Enhancement that Wont Interfere with Off-Road Articulation 2013 Ram Powerwagon
  • Timbrens add quite a bit of suspension support to the vehicle. If you want your rear end to articulate a lot these honestly would interfere with that. This is designed to give more suspension support to a truck when towing and aren't ideal for off road applications. If you did need support when towing or carrying a lot of weight in the bed of the truck but also want the support to "go away" when you off-roading you'd want an air bag kit like the part # F2299 which allow you to control...

  • RV Tire Sensor Kit Recommendation that Allows Use of More than 6 Sensors/Tires
  • We do now offer the TireMinder RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System # TPMS-APP-6 which uses your smartphone as its display. This too comes with 6 sensors but more CAN be added to this system using 2-piece sensor pack # TM-2BRASS. Up to 22 tires can be monitored. There currently isn't a Tuson option that allows for more sensors to be used although we've heard in 2019 they may be releasing a 10 sensor kit.

  • Will Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack Work with RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover
  • I do have some options for you but the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks won't work with the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Covers. That said, there are plenty of other options available and since the cover has adjustable tracks, you can slide the uprights front to back with ease. I recommend the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-5955 which has adjustable height uprights.

  • Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ram 2500 With Air Suspension
  • To beef up your 2021 Ram 2500's rear suspension, the only thing you can add on are jounce stop replacements, and the heftiest of those is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D. These have a robust 8,600 lb capacity and are definitely not weak, and will engage if you find the rear is bouncing too much for how you use your truck.

  • Can etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98887 Work to Lock B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch to Ford Truck
  • The rotating handles on the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3600 feature a 3/8 inch holes for the included pin to keep them in place so our etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98887 that you referenced, which features a 1/4 inch pin diameter, would fit and work well to lock the handles. This will secure the hitch to the bed of your Ford truck when it's not in use to deter theft. I do still recommend using the original pins and clips to secure the legs when you're actually towing....

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch And Pin Box For Towing 5th Wheel Trailer With 2021 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • I have another option for you, but using a Reese Goosebox like the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 and 0719 - 20,000 lbs # RP85FR and using a 4" offset gooseneck ball will not allow you to make very sharp turns without trailer to cab interference. Instead I recommend replacing the pin box on your 5th wheel trailer with a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret - 20,000 lbs # RP34FR which moves the...
