Helpful Expert Reply:
The best auto sliding 5th wheel hitch we have for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 with the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552016-71. The auto slide feature means that you will not have to enter and exit your truck each time you need to make a sharp turn because the hitch will automatically slide back for you to prevent any cab to loft contact. The other great feature about what makes the Demco Hijacker a good option is the wraparound jaw system which allows for reduced chucking and the security bar for extra peace of mind. The hitch head height is also adjustable so you can make sure you are towing level.
The Custom Installation Kit means that there will not be any drilling into the frame in order to install the above. The above parts are all made right here in the USA and come with a five year warranty.
