Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 Ram 3500 w/ 8 Ft Bed and Factory Towing Package
Question:
I just bought a 2023 Ram 3500 8 ft bed with the factory towing package. I would like to find a hitch that will fit inside the pucks in my bed that is easy to remove but also has a high capacity. What do you recommend?

If you are wanting a hitch with a higher capacity that fits inside your Ram 3500's puck system, I recommend the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch item # C16049. This hitch has a 25,000 lbs towing capacity and a 2-jaw locking system.
This 5th wheel hitch has a unique spherical axial bearing that allows for 360-degree movement on the hitch head. This allows for an easier hookup with the trailer while its built-in cushioning will also absorb road shock to provide a smoother ride.
I also really like the 3-point indicator system that is on the Curt hitches that uses color codes to give you a clear indication of when you are securely hooked up to the trailer or when it's ready to uncouple.
I have linked a review video below along with a picture of what this hitch will look like installed in your truck.
