Question:
I have a Curt E16 16k hitch that is installed in my Chev pickup. I want to trade it in and keep my hitch but everywhere I have looked the rail kits and not compatible with the RAM 2500. What can I do?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you just want to transfer your Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S20 Slider # C95DR from your Chevy to your 2019 Ram 2500, which you can do. All you need to do in order use this hitch in your 2019 Ram 2500 is get an install kit and base rails that fit the Ram.
For that, the best option is a custom installation kit that does not require any drilling into your truck's frame, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP56009-53.
You also do have the option of the less expensive kit, though it does require drilling into the frame of your Ram, though I did want to give you the option for that, and the correct part if you decide to go that route is the Reese Semi-Custom Base Rail and Installation Kit # RP30035-522.
Finally, the only other thing you might need is a 5th wheel wiring harness, the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56000.
