• 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...

• 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 Install Brackets for a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Short Bed
  
• We carry two custom install bracket kits with the rails for your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. Part # RP50140-58 uses the standad 43 inch base rails and includes a 5-year warranty. The second kit, part # RP56011-53, has longer 48 inch rails and Grade-8 hardware. It's a heavier duty bracket kit but still fits the same hitches for industry standard rails.

• Are All Components Included the Hi-Rise Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches
  
• Both the Draw-Tite Custom Underbed Installation Kit, # 9460-39-5W, and the Hi-Rise 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # 9480-5W, will have all the needed equipment to connect a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer to your 2000 Dodge Ram truck. However, components like vehicle wiring, brake controller, or safety chains will not be included with these the two hitches. If needed, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885, with the Brake Controller Wiring Harness, # 3020-P. I also...

• Installation Hardware For PullRite Hitch In 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Truck
  
• The frame brackets we offer like part # RP50140 will probably work with your bed rails if they are designed to work with industry standard rails. To be sure, you should use brackets and rails from the same manufacturer to be sure. When you use a brackets and bed rails from two different manufacturers the weight capacity will not be known because they are not tested together. If your hitch will work with industry standard rails I recommend part # RP50140. If you need a wiring harness...

• Is There a Gooseneck/5th Wheel Wiring Harness Available with a Shorter Length of Wire
  
• The shortest gooseneck wiring harness we offer is the Draw-Tite 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole for Dodge with Factory Tow Package # 20111. This wiring harness is 7 feet long and will install behind the factory 7-Way on your 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness # HM42137 that you referenced is a great option, however it does not come in a length shorter than 10 feet. Typically the extra wire from the harness is bundled...

• 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 HM42190...

• Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2001 Dodge Ram
  
• 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...

The installation kit brackets will install under the bed and mount to existing holes already in your Ram's frame.

• 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...

• Will a HiJacker 5th Wheel Trailer hitch Fit Curt Rails in a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Long Bed

• 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...

• 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. You'd also need a replacement hardware kit, part # 58164, as the hardware used to connect the brackets...

• 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...

• Will a Gooseneck Hitch for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Fit a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• I believe what you are referring to is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1316. This hitch will fit a 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 for the exception of the mega cab models. Therefore, as long as the "2006 Dodge" you are referring to is a Ram 1500 without the mega can then yes, the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1316 will work for you. If you do not already have an in-bed 7-way on the 2006 Dodge Ram, I recommend using the Hopkins...

• Looking to Add Plug and Play 7-Way Wiring Harness to Bed of 2007 Dodge Ram 3500
  
• As long as your 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup is equipped with a factory 7-way, you can use the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness, # HM42137. This harness will plug into the existing wiring to give you a 7-way in the bed and also retain the use of the 7-way at the back of your truck. I have included a video for you. The 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, # 20023, is not a plug and play option. Wiring would be required.

• Which Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit Fits a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab
  
• I spoke with my contact at Reese, and in addition to the # RP30051, you will need Universal Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit with Rails, # RP30035. If your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 has overload springs, you will need an additional bracket kit, # RP58186. The 5th wheel hitch you referenced is a slider and is for a short bed. If you have a long bed, you can use a regular, fixed type 5th wheel, # RP30047, and the same installation kit. If your truck bed is less than 6 feet long,...

Typically this is installed up near the wheel well for gooseneck or fifth wheel applications. The harness is a bit longer than you need at 10 feet but would still work well.
