Will Curt 5th Wheel Slider Base Fit Long Bed Ram with OEM Prep Package
Question:
I purchased my Curt Slider Hitch and A20 5th wheel hitch from you all in 2019. I upgraded to a 2021 RAM with the same OEM prep system. With the Curt slider hitch work with the new truck? It has an 8 foot bed instead of the 6 foot bed on my 2016 Ram OEM prep truck? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The Ram OEM Prep Package has not changed so the direct-fit fifth wheel hitch bases are cross-compatible from year to year. That said, the slider bases are heavy and limit weight capacity so it would be worthwhile to switch to a fixed base now that you have a long bed. I recommend the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16021.
