5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel with 6 Foot Bed

Question:

5th Wheel Hitch, 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel Standard Suspension What 5th wheel set up would you recommend for the abovementioned vehicle with the 6 ft. bed?. I read somewhere that DEF or fuel lines interfere with the rail mounting in the bed. Also what do I need to keep the trailer from contacting the rear cab corners when turning or backing?

We do have hitch options for the 2015 Ram 1500 with the EcoDiesel motor and 6 foot bed. First, for an installation kit, you can use # DM8552030-71 on a short bed model.

For a hitch you can use Demco slider hitch, # DM6076P-UL-16K. A slider will travel back allowing for more clearance between the trailer and truck cab. I have linked a video review of this hitch for you.
