Can the Curt A20 Fixed Hitch be used in a 2022 Ram 3500 Short Bed with the LCI Turning Point

Question

Question:

Hi, I recently got a 2022 Ram 3500 short bed with the puck system to tow my 5th wheel. I am getting the A20 hitch. I just wanted to make sure that the non sliding hitch would be ok since my 5th wheel has the LCI turning point pin box.

Since you have the LCI Turning Point you can use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30918 . You would not need a slider because your pin box is going to provide the turning clearance needed. Also keep in mind the Curt A-Series hitches are not compatible with rotating pin boxes like the Lippert.

You will also need to use Sidewinder Wedge # RP44FR to keep the king pin from rotating inside the hitch head.

To a certain extent, this is completely normal and should be expected since the trailer and the vehicle are not one piece; the connection between the two isn't perfect, so it's inevitable that there's some slop between them. You could…

The jaws on a trailer hitch do make a big difference in terms of the quality of the hitch, and though that is not the only factor it is certainly an important one. Like any product, fifth wheel hitches come in different styles and price points, with…

Answer 9

Curt and Reese both make exceptional 5th wheel hitches and you really wouldn't go wrong with a hitch from either of these manufacturers. Since you have the factory puck system I recommend first narrowing down your options to hitches that will…

Answer 11

The hitch does not have to be specific to the Sidewinder; however, certain fifth-wheel hitches are not compatible with Sidewinders. Sidewinders cannot be used with a 5th wheel hitch that mounts to a gooseneck hitch, the Curt Q or A series hitches, or…
