Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500
Question:
I need a 20000 pound automatic slide automatic sliding 5th wheel hitch can you tell me what setup you have that would work for my 2008 ram 3500? I do not want a setup where I need an attachment on the trailer itself because I will be towing multiple different trailers. Thank you
