2023 Ram 3500
This was our first fifth wheel hitch. Assembly was quick enough. Easy to use. Separates for moving in and out of truck though it has only come out once since we got it. Lines up great with the Ram factory mount points. One of the plastic wear plates is damaged from hitching up at an extreme angle, doesn’t seem to effect it while towing. We travel for work and are moving every three or four months. This hitch has been great.

You are the best! My fifth wheel hitch broke while we were traveling and no one locally had the hitch.
I call and spoke to Gwen
She was knowledgeable and ordered the correct hitch. I needed expedited shipping and she took care of that as well.
The communication was outstanding and the folloe up great!
I recommend you now as the first go to for RV Parts. Thank you so much!!!!!

view full answer... - Can a Fixed 5TH Wheel Hitch Be Mounted To a 2022 Ram 3500 Short Bed With Factory Prep/Puck System While the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C74BR will fit your 2022 Ram 3500 short bed with RAM Towing Prep Package, you will likely not be able to make jackknife turns depending on your trailer. If your trailer is using a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR you will be able to make jackknife turns with your truck and trailer.

view full answer... - Whats Difference Between Curt 30k Fifth Wheel Hitches A30 and PowerRideThe Curt A30 part # C64BR is more of a traditional, higher end fifth wheel hitch that fits the 2022 Ram 3500 OEM prep package whereas the PowerRide part # C74BR is a more modern hitch that has more cushioning and movement in the hitch head as well as has a head design that doesn't require grease. They both work really nice but the PowerRide has big advantage of never having to grease the hitch plate.

You could use a hitch like the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16520-16021, which will drop right into your pucks for an easy installation and has a 16,000lb capacity. Personally, I prefer B&W when it comes to quality and ride quality...
