Question

Question:

Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20K Item # C86JR Will this hitch work with the RAMBOX? I know Sidewinder works, but hoping someone has installed this on a rambox by now. I do have rails already.

I do have an option for you but the issue with the RamBox is that the pin box will hit the bedsides when tuning which is why you need to move the pivot point back further towards the tail gate. Therefore, you only option for fifth wheel towing involves a stationary hitch and rotating pin box. There is no way to lock the pivot point using the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C86JR so this won't work. Instead, I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255 with B&W Custom Installation Kit part # BWRVK2605.

This B&W Patriot will then need to be paired with a rotating pin box option from the attached list below.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
