Weight of 5th Wheel Hitches for 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed with Factory Puck System
Question:
How heavy are the 5th wheel hitches that fit my truck with no adapter? I've got a Ram 2500 long bed with the pucks. 2020

Expert Reply:
Right now we carry two hitches that fit into your 2020 Ram 2500's factory prep package; the Reese M5 # RP30918, and the Demco Recon # DM8550045-5W.
The Recon is the lighter one at under 150 pounds. It's different though because it doesn't mount to the pucks it installs over the gooseneck ball. So you'll need a ball as well like # RP19311.
The Reese M5 weighs about 180 pounds or so.
Of the two, I prefer the Recon because of its weight. Not only is it lighter but it's also easy to remove it from your truck in two pieces.
