How To Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer With a 2020 Ram 1500 with RamBox
Question:
I saw the Ram 2500 RamBox 5th wheel Sidewinder pin box mode on your website but will it work on the 2020 Ram 1500 truck too for a 5th wheel?

Expert Reply:
In order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using a 2020 Ram 1500 with RamBox you'll indeed need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder which will be specific to the trailer. If the trailer uses a Lippert 1621 then the correct Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret is part # RP34FR.
Then, you can complete the setup with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56018-53 and Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit part # RP44FR is also neded.
