Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Custom Base Rails for 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel  

Question:

5th wheel hitch for 2019 ram 1500 rebel We have a customer who just purchased a 5th wheel from us and is needing a hitch. I am struggling with how to do this. We have a 2019 dodge ram 1500 new body style. Ive not had any luck finding any custom brackets for this. Any suggestion you can give me as to what hitch etc. to use would be greatly appreciated!

The only brackets for 5th wheel base plates we have that are a fit for that 2019 Ram 1500 new body style are the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552032-71. This will give you industry standard base rails compatible with most 5th wheel hitches. My recommendation for that short bed truck is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000 lbs # DM8550040 which will give them 22-1/2 inches of travel to give them the required turning clearance needed if they have the 5-1/2 foot bed.

If they have the 6-1/2 foot bed then they can use the 18K # DM8550034 which has 14 inches of travel which would be the difference in bed size. With either option I also recommend adding the wiring harness # DM8555002 to give them an easy connection point and a clean look in their truck.

If the trailer you sold them has a turning pin box let me know as that would require other options. If it has air suspension in the pin box a capture/locking plate may be required as well.
