Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2018 Ram 2500
Question:
There is no prep in my bed. I need some hitch that can pull 16k with the least amount of drilling or cutting.

Expert Reply:
The fifth wheel hitch I recommend for a 2018 Ram 2500 is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch part # C16140 or part # C16541 which can be used with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck part # C16427-204. The hitch has an interlocking dual jaw design which forms a super tight grip on the kingpin that makes for a smooth ride and the head can be removed with one pin for ease of installation in and out of the truck bed. The install kit uses pre-drilled holes in the frame so the only drilling that is required would be into the bed but this would be required for any in-bed hitch.
