The adapters typically void the warranty of the trailer frame as they put additional stress on the pin box and if the truck was a short bed there wouldn't be a way...

  • Due to the short bed on your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab, the only way you will be able to successfully tow a fifth wheel trailer without having the front of the trailer loft strike the rear of the cab during turns would be to use a Sidewinder extended pin box.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit for 2014 Ram 1500 w/ Eco Diesel Engine
  • As long as your Ram isn't equipped with the Eco Diesel engine, there are fifth wheel install bracket/rail kits available. I'd recommend using the Reese # RP30035-386.

The Sidewinder relocates the pivot point between the fifth wheel and the truck 22 inches rearward, where the pin box meets the fifth wheel. In most cases, this will allow the truck to negotiate turns without having the...
