Question:

Hi. I have the new 2020 Ram 2500, long bed, WITHOUT the prep puck package. Looking for a 5th wheel hitch. Can you make a recommendation? Thank you.

For your 2020 Ram 2500 long bed I highly recommend the Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30928 along with the Custom Installation Kit # RP50054-58 for mounting.

The Reese M5 not only features a robust single-piece jaw that will provide a superior connection with the trailer and a smooth, quiet ride during travel, but it also uses a unique design that keeps it always ready to receive the king pin on your trailer. This means you won't have to physically release or open the jaws every time you're ready to hookup like with most other models.

The M5 also uses a fully articulating head and an extra large landing area to ease the hookup process and its offset design (1-1/2" to the front or rear) gives you a little more cab clearance when making sharper maneuvers with the truck and trailer. It has a 20,000 pound towing weight capacity and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

I have attached a couple short video reviews below that you can also check out.
