Expert Reply:
If your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 has a short bed or long bed, you can use the Curt 5th wheel trailer hitch installation kit # C16420-204. If you like the Q20, if you have a LONG bed, use the standard version, # C16130. For a SHORT bed, use the slider version, # C16536
The Q20 hitch features a dual jaw design for added king pin contact and security. The head is a full floating head that is also cushioned for the best ride and easy hook-ups. This hitch would be a good choice for your truck and the trailer you plan to tow.
