asked by: Jason
Helpful Expert Reply:
Hijacker was acquired by Demco a few years ago and Demco redesigned the hitch so it would work with the industry standard above-bed base rails. Unfortunately the old models of the Hijacker fifth wheel hitch will not work with the 2014 Ram 2500. The older Hijacker hitches used their own mounting brackets and base rails that were exclusive to their hitches. Since the hitches were redesigned, the old style frame brackets and rails were discontinued.
We do have several other trailer hitch options available. I would be happy to make a recommendation if you can tell me the length of your truck bed and whether the truck has the Dodge factory fifth wheel package or not.
I have also attached a link to the options for you to check out. Simply select the bed size and whether you have the factory fifth wheel package or not and a list of compatible hitches and installation kits will appear.
