You camp to relax. Now, you can relax behind the wheel too. This 5th-wheel hitch delivers a smooth ride and a reliable connection, with a color-coded indicator that shows you're locked in so you can focus on the trip, not the hitch.
This hitch is built from heavy-duty steel and rated for 25,000 lbs GTW, giving you the muscle to handle even the biggest, fully loaded 5th-wheel campers with confidence. And it gives you room to grow if you move to a larger 5th wheel down the line. Plus, the protective powder coat helps resist rust and wear over time, so you can rely on it season after season. This sturdy construction provides a strong base to a hitching system that feels just as solid when you back in and hitch up.
Slide-bar and single-jaw hitches are known for leaving too much room around the king pin. That looseness leads to noise, slop, and an unsettling feel on the road. This dual-jaw system wraps tightly around the king pin from all sides to create a stable connection that feels locked in as soon as you hitch up. It holds firm to reduce noise and cut down on movement. You'll notice the difference the first time you tow.
Before you pull away, a quick glance at the color-coded indicator shows you exactly what the jaws are doing: red means uncoupled, yellow means ready to couple, and green means you're locked in for towing.
There's no need to climb into the bed to check the connection since you can easily see the color at a glance. If you've ever thought the jaws were locked only to find out they weren't, you know how bad things can get. This system keeps that from happening.
You'll feel the change as soon as you're moving. The hitch head pivots smoothly on a spherical axial bearing, allowing full 360-degree movement. As the head moves, rubber bushings help absorb shock and reduce the jerking motion that leads to chucking. It's not just about softening the impact of rough roads. It's about helping you stay more comfortable behind the wheel by reducing the constant shifting and jolts that wear you down over time. From campground runs to multi-state road trips, the ride feels more stable, more responsive, and less like a fight with every bump.
When the trip is over and you need your truck bed back, you can remove the hitch without tools by pulling pins in two steps. First, lift off the head, then remove the base from the adapter rails. The parts are still relatively heavy, but this design takes some of the strain out of the process. It's a solid solution for anyone switching between trip mode and work mode where being able to clear your bed matters.
This hitch is designed to mount into your truck's factory puck system using adapter legs that create a standard above-bed rail platform. It ships with the head, adapter-style legs, and all necessary hardware. You won't need to install separate rails or brackets, which makes setup easier to handle whether you're doing it yourself or taking it to a shop.
Note: This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder.

Hello, every buddy, this is Jeff etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the CURT Adapter Rails for The Fifth Wheel Hitch on your Dodge Ram Towing Prep Packages. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2014 and newer Dodge Ram trucks that have The Factory Fifth Wheel Towing Prep Package. And in a custom fit part like this I do like to recommend for you to go to our website use the fit guide, put it in your year model vehicle and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this is a custom base that is specifically designed to attach to the receivers that are in your Dodge Ram Factory Installed Underbed Fifth Wheel Towing Prep Package.
Once installed the space will provide the industry standard base rails. That'll accept most Fifth Wheel Fixed Leg Hitches and Fifth Wheel Slider Hitches. If I zoom in here just to show you on the tubes here you can see the slots on the cross tube. These are designed to accept the tabs that's on your Fifth Wheel Hitch. So you just drop it right into those slots and then secure it with the pins in the clips.
It is compatible with BMW Curved Demco, Draw-Tight, Hidden Hitch, Husky, and Reese Fifth Wheel Hitches. Now this does also use a quarter turn anchoring system on each corner here for quick installation and removal. And just to show you how you do that. When you go to install this into your Underbed Towing Prep Package as your first do, pop this clip off and that'll release the handle here. All you do is rotate that handle of a quarter of turn.
You can see when you rotate it this tab down here is turning and you'll do this on all four corners. Once they're open like that, drop it into the Underbed System and then rotate your handles back and those cabs will lock it into place. And then to secure it, take your pin slide it back through the post there and it holds that handle from opening and again, you'll do that on all four corners also what's nice, these anchors right here, these are adjustable they'll help eliminate any chucking between the legs and the Underbed Platform. So if it's too tight, you can take out the cutter pin here and then loosen it up. If it's too loose, you can take out that cutter pin and tighten it down.
So it is adjustable, but it's very easy to install, very easy to remove. Now it is protected by a highly durable carbide black powder coat finish on it. Again the application we mentioned is Dodge Ram trucks with the Factory Installed Underbed Towing Prep Package. Capacity on this is 25,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity, 6,250 pounds vertical load capacity. Now you do wanna be aware that the capacity is limited to the lowest rated towing component on your vehicle. But that should do it for the review on this CURT Adapter Rails for The Fifth Wheel Hitch on the Dodge Ram towing prep packages..
