If your 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup does have a gooseneck ball hitch you can connect to it with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs Item # BWRVK3400-5W. The slider on this hitch will help provide more turning clearance since your bed is only 6-1/2' and the gooseneck attachment makes mounting and unmounting this hitch super simple and quick.
