Recommendation for a 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ram 2500 Long Bed with Factory Prep Package
Question:
Is the Curt A16 a good option to tow a 15,000 max loaded trailer with my 2018 Ram 2500. I have the factory pucks in the bed.

Expert Reply:
The Curt A16, part # C16520-16021, is a great choice for your long bed 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory fifth wheel prep package. The interlocking jaws for reducing the rattle and the torsion head make it Curt's best hitch. It fits right into your truck's puck system and has a max capacity of 16,000 pounds.
If you'd like a little more peace of mind you can upgrade to the A20, part # C16044. It has a 20,000 pound capacity to give you a little more breathing room, so to speak.
