Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Ram 2500 With RamBoxes
Question:
Im looking for a 5th wheel hitch that will work with a 2021 Ram 2500 with the Ram boxes. It is a 6-1/2 bed w/o OEM prep package. The Ram boxes are boxes built into the side of the bed of the truck from the factory. I have sent a photo. Can you help me find a product that will work with this truck?

Expert Reply:
With your truck having RamBoxes that definitely complicates things, but we got you covered. To start, you are going to need to swap out your current pin box with a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR, unfortunately.
It's not going to be as simple as to just drop a hitch in the bed - you're going to need a bit more. So from here, you'd then be able drop in a hitch # RP30928 and a rail kit # RP56009-53.
