5TH Wheel Trailer Hitch That One Person Can Install And Remove For a 2021 Ram 3500 With Prep/Puck
Question:
I just purchased a 2021 Ram 3500 long bed dually and I am needing a 5th wheel hitch. I need something that can be removed by one person as I want to use my bed for things other than just the hitch. My bed has the 5 holes for the factory in bed hitch prep. What is my best option? Thanks!

I recommend using the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System # AM3200 on your 2021 Ram 3500, as this is the lightest 5th wheel hitch available. The removable portion of the hitch weighs just 40lbs making it very easy for one person to remove from the truck. You will only need to undo the 4 pins and clips from the rail adapter.
You will need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 to convert your factory in bed hitch prep/puck system to the industry standard rails that the Andersen hitch needs. This adapter weighs 86lbs making it easily removable by one person as well. The adapter simply drops into the 4 outer holes of your factory system and locks in place with the turn of a handle. A quick release pin will hold the handle in place and removal is the reverse of installation.
