• Installing a 7-Way and Brake Controller on a 2006 Dodge Ram
  If the 4-Way did not come on the truck from the factory, then there probably will not be a brake controller connector under the dash. Even if it is a factory 4-Way, not all of the 2005-2007 Ram trucks that were equipped with a 4-Way from the factory had a brake controller connector. Your truck may not have one. If you have one, it should be under the dash, just to the right of the emergency brake pedal. I have added a link to a help article about installing a brake controller on Dodge...

• Can 7-Way Wiring be Used to Power Headache Rack Lighting Functions
  The problem with using 7-way wiring for a headache rack is that there isn't a dedicated stoplight circuit so if the rack has a third brake light you won't find the correct circuit at this harness. The turn signals, running lights, and reverse lights are present though with the # HM42137. I attached a diagram that shows where you'll find them.

• Best Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Flip-Over Hitch Ball for 2008 Dodge Ram 2500

• Can Second In-Bed Fifth Wheel 7-Way Harness Be Installed On 2002 Dodge 3500 Truck
  Although I have not heard of someone installing a second 7-way connector in the bed of their truck, it could be done. I strongly recommend making sure that you use dielectric grease like part # 11755 to make sure you are receiving the best chance for the proper amount of current with your wiring. You will want to make sure you secure the wiring so that it has no chance of separating under the truck. As I said I have not heard anyone say they were installing an additional connector so...

• Should the 16K or 18K B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch be Used for a 16,000 lb GVWR Trailer
  You are correct. Even though the 16K B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 is a great option, if the GVWR of your 5th wheel Montana 3120RL is 16,385 you do want to give yourself a safety margin. We typically recommend having at least 1,000 lbs - 2,000 lbs of "cushion" between the GVWR rating of your trailer the the hitch so the 18K Patriot # BWRVK3255 is the perfect solution. It looks like you put a 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup in as your vehicle. If your Dodge Ram doesn't already have a 7-Way connector...

• Will a HiJacker 5th Wheel Trailer hitch Fit Curt Rails in a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed
  It looks like your HiJacker 5th wheel hitch has the 4 tabs at the corners of the base that fit in industry standard above the bed rails. On industry standard rails there are 3 sets of mounting holes. The inner set is 10 inches apart on center, the next set out are 20-1/2 inches apart on center, and the outer set is 29 inches apart on center. From front to back the mounting holes are 22 inches apart on center. If the mounting tabs on the hitch are spaced 10, 20-1/2, or 29 inches apart...

• Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector in Bed of 2006 Dodge Ram
  Hopkins offers a T-Connector type set up, part # HM42137 that would plug inline with the existing 7-way on your bumper and provide a 7-way in your truck bed. The wiring harness is 8 feet long, but any existing slack can be taken up and bundled up under the vehicle with zip ties. Using the T-Type connector will allow a 7-way to remain at the rear bumper while adding one to the truck bed, which you would not have if you simply relocated the existing 7-way to the truck bed.

  The 2001 Ram uses different connectors, so you would want to use the Hopkins # HM42137 to install a 7-way connector in your truck bed. To install, you would use a hole saw to drill a 2-1/8 inch hole in the truck bed where you want the connector located. Push the wiring through the hole, and secure the connector to the bed sidewall using the supplied hardware. From under the truck, pull the wiring through to the underside of the truck. Trace the wiring harness from the 7-way on the rear...

• B and W Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2007 Ram Mega Cab Short Bed With Existing Turnover Ball Hitch
  The B and W Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W is exactly what you need. It will drop right into your existing B and W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch. The slider will allow you to move the fifth wheel head to the rear, for maximum clearance between the front of the fifth wheel and the rear of the truck cab during low speed maneuvering. The hitch would be slid into the forward position for normal driving. Since you already have a gooseneck hitch, you likely already have a 7-way connector...

• 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Installation Kit for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Long Bed
  Slider hitches can slide back towards the tailgate of the truck which allows for more clearance between the trailer and the truck cab when making turns. Short bed trucks pretty much require a slider for most 5th wheel towing applications because the distance between the centerline of the hitch and the back of the truck cab is so short. If you have a long bed truck then you don't have to worry about clearance and you can use a fixed 5th wheel hitch. For your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 long bed...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Toyota RAV4 Behind a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 with a Truck Bed Camper
  Before flat towing your 1998 Toyota RAV4 you'll want to verify with your owner's manual or with Toyota that it can be flat towed without causing any damage to it. From my research if it has a manual transmission there isn't a problem but the automatic transmission model cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. To tow the RAV4 you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, wiring to power the lights, a braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. Plus, in your case you may need...

• Can a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with 4.7L V8 Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
  The towing capacity of a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 will vary based on tire size, bed length, transmission type, axle ratio, and drive style. If you can provide me with all of these metrics then I would be happy to provide you with an exact towing capacity for your Ram 1500. However, it looks like the most well equipped model only has a maximum towing capacity of 7,300 lbs. Therefore, the weight of your 5th wheel trailer cannot exceed 7,300 lbs. The length of the trailer is more or less irreverent...

• Installing 5th Wheel Hitch on 2004 Dodge Ram Using Universal Install Kit from 1989 GMC Truck
  Can you tell me who manufactured the kit you have? Without that information, it's pretty hard to say. Assuming you used the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit, part # RP30035 to install the hitch in your 1989 GMC, you could reuse your existing bed rails and frame brackets. To install the bracket/rail kit in your 2004 Ram, you'd need another additional bracket, part # RP58023.

• Trailer Wiring Harness for an In-Bed Camper for a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500
  Trailer connector # 20135 is meant as a replacement for the factory 7-Way trailer connector on a 2002 Dodge Ram. If your truck did not come with a factory 7-Way then this connector will not work. If it does have a factory 7-Way then I think I have a better option for you since you need the connection to be more at the front of the bed for the camper. You can use a 5th wheel/gooseneck harness and connector, # HM42137. This will plug in line with the factory 7-Way wiring. Normally the...
