I am looking for a 5th wheel hitch for a Dodge 2015 2500 shortbed. What would you suggest?

Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Ram 2500 short bed, if it does not have the factory rail kit, I recommend looking at the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR.
For the 5th-wheel rails and hardware, I recommend the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-204. These rails include a vehicle-specific bracket kit that will allow for a no-drill installation and cuts down on installation time.
If you do not have one already, I also recommend adding a 5th-wheel wiring harness like the Curt # C56000. Once installed, this will provide a 7-Way connector in the bed of your truck for easy hookup with your trailer.
