The best 5th wheel base rail and brackets for your 2024 Ram 2500 are from Curt. The reason I really like them is they do not require any drilling into your Ram's frame, which is not only good for your truck, but saves a boatload of time. The correct part number for your '24 Ram 2500 is the following:
- Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck # C16427-204
This will allow you to install any 5th wheel hitch like the outstanding Curt A20 # C16140 if you have an 8 foot long bed or the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C55DR for a short bed.
Then for a 5th wheel wiring harness use the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000.
