In my opinion, the best way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with the OEM fifth wheel prep package is to use a fifth wheel hitch that fits the in-bed pucks in your truck bed.

This hitch will drop right into the pucks in the truck bed and once it is removed, you will have full access to your bed.
