Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Rail Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500
Published 06/04/2015
Question:
I have a RBW X16 hitch and need to know what rails will work to mount it in a 2005 Dodge Ram 3 quarter ton. The rails that were previously in the truck were mounted with four bolts per rail.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The RBW X16 hitch will fit industry standard fifth wheel rails so for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 you would want the Curt Rails part # C16420-204 as they have been confirmed to fit your truck and are custom so you won't have to drill into the frame for installation.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
