Recommended Autosliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 2500 with Factory Puck System
Question:
Good morning. I have a 2019 Ram 2500 with the short bed and factory pucks. I'm wanting to use an auatomatic slider hitch but not sure if there's one that will fit/work with my setup. Please advice.

For your 2019 Ram 2500 I highly recommend the 21K Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035, which does feature an automatic slider that lets you stay inside the comfort of your cab when it's time to make sharper turns with the trailer. The Hijacker also features a wraparound single-piece jaw, along with a 3/4" thick steel bar that creates a really secure connection with the trailer and allows for a smooth, quiet ride. It has a 21,000 pound towing weight capacity.
Then to mount the Hijacker to the factory pucks on your Ram you would just need the Rail Adapter # DM6099. This will attach to the puck in the bed to provide industry-standard rails to which the Hijacker will mount.
I have attached a couple short video reviews that you can check out as well.
