Curt Adapter Rails for Curt Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Installation - 2022 Ram 2500- Video

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at these Curt Adapter Rails on our 2022 Ram 2500. Now that's going to be an adapter piece from the factory puck system if your RAM came with that in the bed and adapt it so you can use your pre-existing Curt Fifth Wheel with Slider Base. So if you already have that from a previous truck and you just mounted it up to your ISR rails, then this is going to be the piece that lets you use it with your new truck that has the prep package for towing. So rather than getting a whole new fifth wheel that's designed to work with that factory puck system, you can use what you already have, drop it into this adapter piece and keep using it as normal. Let's check it out. more

Best 2014 Ram 2500 Gooseneck Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be looking at the best gooseneck options for our 2014 Ram 2500.While all of these will work with your Ram 2500 to allow you to haul a gooseneck trailer, there are some key differences that'll set them apart. The biggest difference is going to be their towing capacities. Both our B&W and our Curt are going to have a max towing limit of 30,000 pounds and a max vertical load limit of 7,500 pounds, while our Draw-Tite's going to be a little bit less with a maximum towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and a maximum vertical load limit of 5,000 pounds. It is always recommended to check your vehicle owner's manual to make sure it's not going to exceed any of its towing or load limit capacities.Now, what's really nice about the way all of these goosenecks install on our Ram 2500 is that there's no additional rail kit required. Most other vehicles require this additional rail kit, whereas our Ram 2500 has an existing rail system already included in the vehicle where these will just bolt right up to it using the hardware provided. Now, you will still need to drill your holes for your safety chains and ball, but there'll be no frame drilling which saves a lot of time. more

Keep in mind, this measurement may vary due to the tire size, hitch style, or after-market accessories. We'll start off our test fit in the drop position by sliding the shank of the weight distribution into the opening of our sleeve. We'll line up the 2 pin holes and then continue to slide the sleeve back into the hitch. We'll then insert the pin through the pin holes and then secure it with the clip on the other side.
