2013 Ram 2500 Questions and Answers

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2013 Ram 2500 Diesel Short Bed
  
• I measured some Curt rails, the same as those used in installation kit # C16426-204 and they are 1-1/4 inches tall if you measure from the top of the bed corrugations. The bolts do go through the outer parts of the rails so the bolt head height would not be an issue. I have linked a video showing installation of this kit on a 2013 Ram. The Reese options for your truck are the new taller rails that would not work for you. On short bed trucks it is recommended to use a slider hitch...

• Can the Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar # TH997 Have 66 inch Crossbars Installed In It
  
• First thing you will need to start with on your 2013 Ram 2500 is a front hitch if you don't have one already. For that you would want the # 65063. I attached an install video. The Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar # TH997 only comes with a 58 inch cross bar, but you can easily swap out the bar for a 65 inch crossbar, part # THLB65. You will need to check the owners manual of your truck to determine the roof weight capacity and be sure not to exceed this figure with the weight...

• Blue Ox Bed Saver Recommendation for a Reese Elite Slider 18k Hitch
  
• We have exactly what you need, but the # BXR4105 that you referenced will not work on the slider Elite hitches. Instead you would want the part # BXR4110 that is specifically designed to fit the Slider Elite hitches.

• Installation Of Gooseneck Hitch On 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 With 6 Foot Bed
  
• The Curt Gooseneck Hitch, part # C607-661, you referenced is designed to fit your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 6 foot bed. The included installation instructions have detailed steps to ensure the hitch is located in the correct location.

• Fifth Wheel Hitch Rail Kit for a 2013 Ram 2500 Short Bed to use a B and W Companion Slider
  
• Yes, the Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30074 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2013 Ram 2500 with a short bed. If you are really wanting to use a B and W Slider Companion hitch you would want the part # BWGNRK1308-5W though. This will let you install a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W like you said you were interested in. An added benefit to this rail kit is that it doubles as a gooseneck hitch.

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2013 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  
• For a short bed truck like your 2013 Ram 2500 I recommend a slider hitch that has 12 inches of travel so you will be able to make tighter turns without hitting the truck cab and trailer together. For a 16K hitch I recommend the Curt Q16, # C16521. It offers a secure dual jaw, 360 degree cushioned head for easy hook up and a smooth ride, and the slider base offers 12 inches of travel. For a 20K hitch we have the Curt Q20, # C16536. It has the same features as the Q16 but with a higher...

• Can a Tandem Bike Be Carried at the Front of a 2013 Ram 2500
  
• The first thing you should know is that the Swagman XC-Extended bike rack, # S64650-EXT, will likely not be able to support the wheelbase of a tandem bike. The maximum wheelbase it will accept is 68 inches. We have hitch mount bike rack that would be good for a tandem bike, the RockyMounts TailPipe, # RKY1031. It doesn't have a rise in the shank so there wouldn't be any extra height above the 38-5/16 inches height measured from the top of the shank to the top of the cradles. Keep...

• Steps for 2013 Ram 2500 That Mount to Chassis Not Body Sheet Metal
  
• Some running boards and steps do mount to the vehicle's frame members and not to its sheet metal. For example, the Carr Tube Steps # CARR105772, attach to the rocker panels while Pilot Tube Steps # NB-214 attach to existing holes on your truck's frame. I have linked for you our main page for all step products that fit the 2013 Ram 2500. At the top of the page is a "Select Vehicle Style" drop-down menu that will let you select your cab style to then see all compatible products for your...

• Timbren Springs and Firestone Ride-Rite Comparison for a 2013 Ram 2500 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• There are a few things to consider when purchasing suspension enhancement for towing a fifth wheel trailer. The Bilstein shocks will certainly help, but it also does not hurt to add suspension enhancement like Timbren springs or Firestone air bags either. They will reduce sag, improve stability and prolong the life of your stock suspension. Timbren and Firestone make excellent products. We use Timbren springs on our Ram 2500 when towing our fifth wheel trailer and they do an excellent...

• What Would Cause the Top of a Trailer Hitch Ball to Wear Excessively After 300 Miles
  
• If the ball is smaller than what the coupler requires then the coupler would be able to move around quite a bit and wear down the ball. If the ball is the right size then excessive tongue weight could be a factor. The trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of he gross trailer weight. The ball you use will need to be rated higher than the gross trailer weight. You can also lubricate the ball so that there is less friction. Some ball lube such as # 58117 would work well...

• Does the Tekonsha Wiring Adapter # 3023-P Fit a 2013 Ram 2500
  
• I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and they confirmed that the Custom Wiring Adapter, part # 3023-P, is a fit for your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500. It sounds like you have you located the vehicle’s electric brake control harness connector underneath the dash and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal (fig. A). It has a 4-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter. A second 2-pin connector is located just above the brake pedal that...

• Is Manual Override Plug Available For LCL Powered Jack
  
• Several of the powered trailer jacks we offer have a manual override option. For example, the Bulldog powered camper jack we offer, part # BD500185, has a manual override feature that uses a crank bolt, part # BD500191. The rubber cover is removed and the crank bolt is used with a ratchet to manually operate the jack when power is lost. For a couple of the Atwood power jacks 80515 and AT80718, we have the replacement handle that is used to operate the jack. That is part # 87891....

• Removing Bent Dual Cam Sway Control From Trailer to Get Home
  
• The easiest solution for you to get home (as long as you have the capacity) would be to remove the spring bars of the system and take it easy till you get home and then have it repaired. However, since you are 2,000 miles away I would recommend you remove the dual cam system from both sides and then attach the chains directly to your spring bars that way you still have the weight distribution system functioning. It could be that the dual cam system is out of adjustment on the bad...

• Will Curt Friction Style Sway Control System Fit Curt 1400 Pound Weight Distribution System
  
• Yes, you can use sway control # 17200 with Curt weight distribution hitch # C17007. But if the trailer gross weight is between 6,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs, you will need two sway-control units, one on either side of the trailer. You will also want to use two units if your trailer is 26 feet or longer. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

• Reese Extension/Reducer # RP45292 Compatibility with Class V Factory Hitch on 2013 Ram 2500
  
• The Reese Titan Extension/Reducer you referenced, part # RP45292 would work great with the 2-1/2 inch Class V hitch on your Ram. As you mentioned, the extension has a 8K capacity when cut down to the 24 inch length, that will provide a 2 inch receiver on the other end you can attach a ball mount or weight distribution system to.

• Adapter to Use Pullrite ISR SuperGlide in a 2013 Ram Mega Cab with OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package
  
• So it looks like you have the ISR (industry standard rail) version of the SuperGlide. When trying to adapt that to a 2013 or 2014 Ram with the factory installed 5th wheel prep package, you are going to have to use an adapter. If the feet on the hitch are 20-1/2 inches or 29 inches apart on center, side to side, and 22 inches apart on center front to back then you can use adapter # RP30154.

• How to Determine where to Mount the Cables on Trailer Ramp for a Gorilla Lift
  
• First, the cable from the Gorilla Lift, # GL1, attaches to a trailer ramp using a bolt and nuts. I have included a picture showing this. The place where the cable will attach to the ramp depends on its size and design. I have included a picture showing the chart used to determine cable placement for you. We do not currently have a video showing installation.

• Advice for Torquing Front Installation Bolts for Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16426
  
• I spoke to my contact at Curt about the issue you are having installing the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit # C16426 on your 2013 Ram 2500 and he said that you will need to get the 110 ft lbs on the front bolts. He said that your only options are to find a different torque wrench, possibly one with crows feet so that you can get in there better. In some situations with the Curt rail kits we have found that you can't always get the hardware torqued due to limited space.

• Locks Needed For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver And Coupler On Trailer
  
• I was unable to find a combination system that would work to lock both the coupler on your trailer and also the hitch receiver on your 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 2-1/2 receiver. For a simple system to secure your coupler I recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Trailer Coupler Lock, part # BLTL-33-40D. This lock simply inserts into the the coupler and uses a 3/4 inch pin to secure the lock to the coupler. A keyed Master Lock is included that is inserted through the pin on the lock. For...

• How to Determine the Right Rise or Drop Needed when Choosing a Ball Mount
  
• The amount of clearance needed is going to be different for every vehicle, trailer, and possible terrain you may encounter. For example, a lifted truck towing a large travel trailer through the plains would not have a problem with ground clearance. A minivan towing a pop up camper in the mountains and offroad is likely going to encounter ground clearance issues if the adjustable ball mount drops low enough. What you can do is determine the amount of drop you need by taking a few measurements....

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Ram 2500 Behind a Motor Home
  
• The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual for your 2013 Ram 2500 to make sure it can be flat towed. To flat tow a vehicle you will need base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Since your 2013 Ram has tow hooks you can use base plates # BX1989. Your truck could be heavy depending on how it is equipped. So for a tow bar that has enough capacity and that is compatible with the base plates I recommend the Blue Ox...

• 5th Wheel Rail Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2013 Ram 2500 with 6 foot Bed
  
• The recommended 5th wheel rail installation kit for a 2013 Ram 2500 with a 6 foot bed is the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation kit part # C16426-204, this would be the kit you would want. If your PullRite SuperGlide is the ISR Series then yes it would be compatible with the # C16426-204, if it is the traditional series then no it would not. The Curt Rail kit part # C16427-104 that you referenced is designed for the 2014 Rams so it would not work for you.
