5th Wheel Hitch and Custom Bracket and Rail Kit for a 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel
Question:
I have a 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel with a 6-1/2 foot bed and I am looking for a 5th Wheel hitch and mounting brackets for rails. Do you have anything that will fit my model truck?

Expert Reply:
Yes, we do have a 5th wheel hitch and compatible mounting brackets for your 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. It is the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider item # RP30051. The Reese 5th wheel hitch has a gross towing weight limit of 16,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 4,000 lbs. The square-tube slider provides the clearance required for your Ram's short-bed pickup to turn safely at slow speeds. This hitch has the 2-Jaw locking system which provides more jaw-to-king-pin contact than slide-bar models.
For a custom fit bracket kit I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # RP56018-53. These custom brackets mount to existing holes in your Ram's frame, minimizing drilling and measuring. I have attached an installation video.
I also recommend you add the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long item # C56070. This wiring harness adds a 7-way connector into the bed of your Ram truck for an easy access connection point for your 5th wheel trailer.
