I recommend a 1 ton truck for your application. Your preference of Ram, Chevy Silverado, or Ford but get a 2500 or 3500 equivalent. I recommend getting a normal 8 foot bed and then adding the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035 and the Reese 22K # RP30033. This hitch will have the dual jaws for great king pin contact to reduce jarring and chucking. This is a great option for your Keystone Hideout 5th wheel trailer.

I also suggest adding a wiring harness like the Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Plug - GM, Ford, Ram, Toyota - 9' Long # 50-97-410. This will put a second working 7-way in the bed of your truck for easy access and connection.

If you choose to get a factory rail kit, let me know and I'll give you a hitch recommendation to work with your puck system.
