Compatibility of Reese Evolution With Rambox

Question:

I have a 2016 RAM 2500 with the Ram Box bed which is much narrow on the inside than a standard bed. Will the revolution hitch work with this bed?

The Reese Evolution, which is the OEM version of the Sidewinder King Pin such as # RP34FR, does work with trucks that have a Rambox. There is also a formula you can use to determine if using that pin box will allow you to make a 90 degree turn.

You will first need to measure the distance from the center of your fifth wheel hitch jaw to your 2016 Ram 2500's cab.You will also need to know the width of your trailer. You can then use this formula to find out if you can do a 90 degree turn:

(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from center of 5th-wheel hitch jaw to truck cab in inches
B = Length of Sidewinder arm in inches
C = Width of trailer in inches divided by 2
