Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 for Curt E16 Hitch
Question:
Hi, Have 2006 Dodge 2500 quad cab with short bed. Looking to tow 5th wheel. A Curtis E16 is coming with the trailer. I was going to install reese 30074 and also buy the adapter RP30156. My only question is why is there not a 5th wheel/gooseneck combo offered like the Fords? Thank you.

Dodge did finally start offering fifth wheel hitch prep packages on their newer trucks, but back in 2006 they did not.
The Reese Elite Rail kit part # RP30074 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Ram with Mega Cab and would work great with the # RP30156 adapter. This adapter will allow the Curt E16 Fifth Wheel hitch # 16516 as well.
