Expert Reply:
If your 2014 Ram 3500 does not have the Dodge factory fifth wheel package, then the Husky Silver Series Fifth Wheel Hitch, # HT31318-31325, will fit your 2014 Ram 3500 as long as you have above-bed fifth wheel base rails installed. If you do not have the above-bed base rails, then you can use the Curt Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16430-204. This kit includes the base rails, frame brackets and all necessary hardware to complete the installation.
If your truck has the Dodge factory fifth wheel package, then instead of mounting above-bed base rails, you will need the Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Adapter, # RP30154. At this time there are no fifth wheel hitches that are directly compatible with the puck system of the Dodge fifth wheel package, but this Reese adapter will fit the in-bed pucks and allow you to mount any fifth wheel hitch that uses the industry standard above bed base rails.
I have attached the installation instructions for the Curt fifth wheel install kit and the Reese rail adapter for you to check out.
