Question

Question:

Hello I just bought a CURT PowerRide 16320, for my Ram 3500HD to replace my 5th wheel Husky 26k, but I would like to have 40K rails or the ideal would be a kit that attaches it to the frame of the truck to increase the resistance. My truck is a Ram 3500HD Tradesman dually from 2015, 6.7 diesel. what do you have to propose to me.

In order to use the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C22ER on a 2015 Ram 3500 you'll want to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram part # C16430-204 if you don't have the factory prep package or the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C74BR if you do.

Please note, the installation kit does not have a weight capacity, this comes from the fifth wheel hitch which will be the weakest component of the system since the install kit attaches to the frame.

We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part #RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest…

Hey Tom, congrats on the new truck! Typically when we hear that someone has the OEM tow prep package they mean the puck system. This is going to be five circular holes built into the bed of your Ram truck and is by far the best way to attach a 5th…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…

I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…
