How to Install the Curt Q20 in a 2016 Ram 3500 w/ Factory Rail Kit
Question:
I have a 2016 RAM 3500 with Factory fifth wheel Tow prep. I want to install the Curt Q20
asked by: Roger G
Expert Reply:
I recommend the Curt Q20 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16541 which in your truck will require the adapter part # RP30154 for installation.
If you have a long bed with the rail kit you can directly install the 25K fixed B&W hitch # BWRVK3600 without any adapters. For a wiring harness you can use part # PK11893-11932.
