Question:
Will a Reese 30047 fit a 2007, 2500 dodge ram short bed?

Expert Reply:
Yes, with the right rail kit it will fit. If you have a rotating pin box this will work great.
Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30047
Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56011-53
However, if you do not have a rotating pin box, I highly recommend getting a sliding 5th wheel hitch if you have a short bed.
Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Round Tube Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # RP30075.
Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP56011-53.
I also recommend the following if you do not already have these items:
Reese 5th Wheel Starter Kit # RP30053.
