Lighter Weight Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ram 3500 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
Can you tell me the weight of the Curt 20k and25k hitches. Our current hitch is too heavy for me to move. Thank you

The Curt Q20 hitch part # C16530-16021 which is a confirmed fit for the factory rail kit of your 2017 Ram 3500 weighs 202 lbs and the Q25 part # C16049 weighs 205 lbs.
Another option to consider is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3600 which is also a fit. It weighs a bit more at 216 lbs but is designed to be removed/installed in sections that you are having to remove all of the weight at one time.
I attached an install video that shows this installing in a similar Ram truck for you to get an idea what I am talking about.
