Expert Reply:
I recommend a 5th wheel hitch with a custom install kit because these will reduce your installation time and drilling in your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab.
I also suggest you select a 16K-rated hitch because at this weight rating your hitch will include additional features often not found on lower-rated hitches - such as a cushioned 360-degree pivoting head like that on Curt sliding hitch # C16521. This hitch has a 4000-lb tongue weight rating and has 12-inches of slider travel to make low-speed turning easier. The custom install kit for your truck is part # C16420-204 and this requires no frame drilling at all. I have included a helpful installation article.
If you want to view all 16K custom-install hitches you can click on the link provided.
You will also need a wiring harness. You can use part # C56071 from Curt.
