Expert Answers about Ram 5500


  • 2024 Ram 5500 Cab and Chassis 2-1/2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Options
  • We have 2 different 2-1/2" hitch receiver options for your 2024 Ram 5500 Cab and Chassis and the correct one just depends on what you're looking to get out of the hitch. The Curt # C15800 is your classic hitch receiver while the TorkLift # TL49YR is a dual stacked receiver that gives you both a 2" and a 2-1/2" receiver. I recommend going with the Curt unless you're going to be towing a trailer and needing to carry a bike rack, or use an in-bed camper and need a special hitch extender...

  • 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit on 2021 Ram 500 Cab & Chassis
  • Thank you for the photo, and while there is a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2021 Ram 5500 cab & chassis, I checked with the manufacturer, and the TorkLift hitch you mentioned will not fit. So for a 2-1/2 inch hitch, you will need to go with a Curt hitch: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15800 This is a Class V hitch that has a massive 2,700 lbs tongue weight capacity and 20,000 lbs towing capacity.

  • Best Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver for a Bluebird Bus
  • We do have a Class V trailer hitch receiver that will fit the frame rails of your 2009 Bluebird bus, although they are all weld-on applications as there isn't an option for a heavy-duty hitch that is bolt-on.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Option For 2022 Ram 5500 Cab & Chassis
  • While there are a couple option for a gooseneck hitch that can work for your 2022 Ram 5500 cab and chassis, the Curt gooseneck is a custom fit for the pick-ups, and there isn't a way it can be made to fit the cab and chassis. Depending on your Ram's configuration, there are a couple of things you can do, which is add a hitch for a flatbed, or add a hitch plate that gets welded or bolted on. - B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 - Buyers...

  • 2024 Ram 5500 5th Wheel Gooseneck Recommendation
  • The best gooseneck hitch for your 2024 Ram 5500 cab and chassis is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 which is designed for fabrication applications. This then allows you to use either the standard B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 or the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3050 depending on if you'll have a standard bed or a flatbed on your Ram.

  • Is The Tekonsha T-One # 118384 Compatible With The Brake Controller 9030A?
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384 would not be compatible with the Tekonsha Brake controller you mentioned. The 118384 is a 4 flat wiring harness for trailer brake lights, tail lights and turn signals. So it does not include any kind of brake function. You would need to have a 7-way plug installed on your vehicle in order to use a brake controller. If you have a 7 way plug installed from the factory your can use part # 7894 to wire in your brake controller.

  • Availability Of Gooseneck Hitch For 2015 Ram 5500
  • I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit Gooseneck Hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Ram 5500. I recommend using the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500. This plate is universal and it's normally placed on top of the flat bed, above the rear axle. You'll need to drill holes through the plate, truck bed and into the truck frame. The manufacturer recommends using (grade 5) 1/2 inch hardware to install the plate. Note that underbed reinforcement is required to reach...
