Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for Flat Bed Truck
Question:
I have a 2012 Dodge Ram Cummins 3500 Crew Cab with an Aluminum Flat Bed. It has a Goose Neck ball already installed under a cover plate in the bed. I am purchasing 41ft DVR Mobile Suite a 5th wheelHeavy and am looking for a 5th Wheel Hitch that can be removed when not in use. Can you suggest a quality hitch that will work with my truck.

Expert Reply:
For a flat bed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT would be a great options since it is designed for flat bed configurations.
For rails you will need the # DM6012. The install of these rails will have to be a custom install done by a qualified fabricator in your area. The rails will need to mount to the frame of your truck and not just to the bed.
The hitch will be able to be removed pretty easily when not in use.
