Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500 Short Bed
Question:
What hitch can I use on a 2016 ram 1500 big horn with 6.4foot bed and 5.7 hemi no air system
asked by: Jeremiah
Expert Reply:
We have a few options for a fifth wheel hitch for your 2016 Ram 1500 short bed without air suspension.
Since your truck bed is short enough to require a slider hitch to allow you to make tight turns the best option is a hitch that slides automatically. For that you'd want the Demco Hijacker part # DM8550034 which will slide automatically as you make tight turns.
Then for a rail kit you'd want to go with a custom install kit like the part # DM8552030-71. This will minimize drilling and install time over a universal kit.
