Expert Reply:

If your loaded trailer weight is 25,900 lbs then you will want to use a gooseneck hitch rather than a 5th wheel hitch. The highest rated 5th wheel hitch that we have to offer is the Curt # C22ER rated for 30,000 lbs. You won't find too many 5th wheel hitches anywhere else that will be rated much higher than this.

You will also want to check the towing weight capacities of your 2014 Ram 3500 to make sure that you do not exceed what your vehicle can do. Using a suspension upgrade like the TorkLift # TDR3500CA is also a good idea to reinforce your suspension and help improve your ride quality.
