Is There a Factory Underbed Hitch for a 2012 Ram 2500 with RAM OEM Puck Cutouts in Bed
Question:
Hello - I have a 2012 Ram 3500 that has a replacement bed on it from a newer truck that had the puck style system. So I have the holes in the bed for a factory puck system, but no actual hardware. Do you have or do you know of a kit to be able to install in the same factory locations to allow me to use the existing holes that are already in my bed? Thank you!

I do have an option for you for an underbed mounting system on a 2012 Ram 2500 in the Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # RP30158-52. That said, the problem is the pucks and gooseneck hole likely won't line up with anything in the truck bed currently because this hitch uses a Ford footprint and you have a Ram footprint bed. The Ram footprint factory underbed hitch isn't offered for this year so I really don't think you have a good option here. You're going to have to drill new holes in the truck bed regardless. I'd recommend getting a welder to fill the factory holes so it's not as messy or you can get a truck bed mat and cut new holes for only the above hitch.
