- I just called my contact at Demco and if your fifth wheel trailer weighs 13,000-lbs or less, we have a fifth wheel setup that will work for you. You would need part # DM8550040. This is the Demco Autoslide and it has 22-1/2 inches of travel, which will work great for 5-1/2 and 6-ft truck beds.
The Hijacker SL Series fifth wheel like part # DM6076SL-16K, does not give you enough travel with a 5-1/2 ft truck bed. The DM6076SL-16K has 8-inches of travel.

- Assuming you have a set of Reese fifth wheel rails (since they are most popular) you would need the bracket kit part # RP58522 and part # RP30439 to install them in the bed of your 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon.
Another possibility is that you have Curt rails which then you'd need the bracket kit part # C16427. Unfortunately Allen you can't mix and match bracket and rail brands so you would need to for sure verify the brand of your rails which should be stamped on them.

- Hey Kevin, great question!
The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit # C16100 will both fit on your 2017 Ford F-350 and pair with your Reese/Pro Series hitch, but I actually recommend using the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2402 instead because the mounting brackets will match up with existing holes in your truck frame so you don't have to drill into the frame at all. Since the Curt kit is universal you'll have to drill holes into your frame for...
