Fifth Wheel Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup with a Short Bed
Question:
The custom install kit for the 1500 and 2500 model is actually the same. If this is the only fifth wheel trailer you are going to tow, and you do not mind having the mounting rails permanently mounted in your truck bed, the 16K Fifth Wheel with Slider, part # RP30075 would work great. The install kit for your vehicle is part # RP50140-58. Click on the provided link to view the install instructions.
