Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for 2015 Ram 1500 Short Bed Towing Trailer with Reese Revolution
Question:
Hello, I have a 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 with a crew cab short bed. I am purchasing a 5th wheel that is designed for short bed trucks and has the Reese revolution pinbox from the factory. Can I just purchase any of the reese standard hitches? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Yes, you are correct. Since you are buying a trailer with a Reese Revolution box you would want a stationary hitch since you do not need the slider. The Revolution will provide all of the needed turning clearance.
For a stationary hitch the Reese part # RP30047 would be a great option. Then for a rail kit confirmed as a fit the part # RP50142-58 would be what you need as it is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ram 1500 short bed.
