Fit of Andersen AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection in Industry Standard 5th Wheel Mounting Rails
Question:
I have a 2014 Ram 2500 Short bed diesel and I am interested in the Anderson Hitch. Does it come with rails? I have a demco automatic sliding hitch with the rails inside of the bed right now.

Expert Reply:
The Andersen # AM3200 Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection doesn't include rails. If your existing Demco Hijacker Auto Slide uses industry standard bed rails, the Andersen # AM3200 will pin directly to them.
Industry standard rails are what Demco uses with their # DM8552025-71 install kit, which is a fit for your truck. If the slot spacing of your existing rails match with what's shown in the provided photo, then you have industry standard rails.
