The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270 is a dual jaw design rated at 18,000 lbs. and a great option for short bed trucks. The sliding feature on this hitch will provide you with 12" of travel to push the pivot point of your trailer back and allow you more turning clearance. B&W hitches have outstanding quality, are made here in the USA with lifetime warranties, which are usually no questions asked. Their 3/4" thick dual jaws provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact and fully articulating head eases hookup and helps to limit chucking.
You will want to use the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram, # BWRVR3202-00 to install this hitch.
