Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 RAM 2500 with Hitch Prep

Question

Question:

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 truck that I use to pull a small 5th wheel using a Pullrite picture frame and a Demco Autoslide hitch. I want to now pull a gooseneck trailer as well. I do not have the factory gooseneck kit. What is the best way to set the truck up to pull a gooseneck trailer? Is there something to fasten to the Pullrite picture frame or should I be trying to get the factory gooseneck underbed kit installed?

Your best solution would be to install the Hide-A-Goose Custom Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 9466 in the bed of your truck. We contacted Draw Tite and they said this hitch will fit your 2014 Ram 2500 with hitch prep package. This way you won't be messing with any more adapters.

The factory prep package on a 2018 Ram 3500 is pretty apparent so odds are you don't have this if you are unsure. If the indentations for the four outer pucks and center gooseneck hitch ball are present but there are no actual holes in the truck…

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…
