Expert Reply:
In my research I have found that the Curt 16,000 lb 5th Wheel Hitch # C95DR should be a good choice to pull your 32 foot fifth wheel trailer and it has a 16,000 lb capacity so be sure that is what you need.
Because you have a short bed truck you will want the slider hitch to give you the necessary clearance so you will be able to maneuver 90 degree turns without clearance problems.
The installation kit is Curt # C16420-104 which comes with the rails, brackets and hardware and has a glossy black finish.
