Recommended Bed Rails for Anderson Ultimate on a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
Question:
I have a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 classic. 5.7 bed length. 5.7 Hemi V8 with the tow package. Going to be ordering the Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch. What bed rails do you suggests? Also want to move the 7pin connection into the bed of the truck. Part number?

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP50142-58 for the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 on your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic because it eliminates any drilling into the frame of your pickup (you do need to make holes in the bed of your truck though which is the same for any rail kit).
Then for wiring I recommend the Hopkins Endurance # 41157 because it is a reliable option that uses the 90-degree wiring so you don't have to worry about pinching your wiring.
