Are Rails and Brackets Needed to Use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide on a 2014 Ram 2500
Question:
Do I need rail and brackets for my 2014 2500 Dodge Ram for the Demco hijacker?

Expert Reply:
If you don't have the OEM puck system or industry standard base rails on your 2014 Ram 2500 then you will need the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Bracket Kit # DM8552025-71 to utilize the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034. If you do have the OEM puck system then you will need the Rail Adapter # DM6099 for the Hijacker to mount to.
Please note that the Hijacker should not be used if you have the RamBox on your pickup.
You will also need 5th Wheel Wiring Harness # PK11893-11932 if you don't already have a 7-Way in the bed of your pickup. This allows you to connect/disconnect the 7-Way connector much easier from your 5th wheel trailer.
