Expert Reply:
In order to use the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 on a 2017 Ram 1500 you'll need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16444-204. Please note, you could experience limited turning clearance using a fixed hitch with a short bed (6-1/2') so the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider part # 16516 would be a safer route. If you have a super short bed (5-1/2') you'd really need a fixed hitch with rotating pin box. If you can give me the model number of the pin box on the trailer I can provide an option.
