Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible With Reese Signature Series Rails On 2004 Ram 2500
Question:
I just purchased a 2004 ram 2500 long bed with the under bed mounting system for a 16k draw tite signature series 5th wheel hitch. receiver holes are 30inch X 13. The hitch is lost. Is there a 18k or 20k hitch that will fit these mounting holes? Is there any hitch that will fit these holes? Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your 2004 Ram 2500 With Reese Underbed Mounting System, I recommend the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30921. This hitch is made specifically for that system.
That system was used for Ford's factory rail system, so there are other hitches available as well. For a 20K option, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3300. You can also use the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16530-16017.
