How To Use Demco Autoslide 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch On 2013 Dodge Ram 3500
Question:
Hi, I have a customer who has a Demco DM6077 fifth wheel hitch he wants installed. He has the base rails but does not have the base rail frame mounting brackets, and the hardware to install the base rails to the frame brackets. His vehicle is a 2013 dodge ram 3500 with the 6 1/2 bed, without the puck system. Any help on what kit is required would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

In order to install the Demco Autoslide 18K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 (Must Have Side Plates for Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - Above Bed Mount part # DM6003) on a 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 you'll need the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552026-71 which is composed of the Universal Above-Bed Base Rails part # DM6071 and Demco Premier Series Custom Mounting Brackets part # DM8552026.
Unfortunately, we don't offer the hardware needed to attach the base rails to the frame brackets.
