Question:

Hi Guys, Have a new RAM 3500 Limited Longhorn Mega Cab 4x4 w/Cummins w/self leveling airbags in rear and factory gooseneck/puck system. Looking for a 5th wheel hitch to tow a Cougar 23MLE or up to maybe other mid-size 5th soon, or in the future a XLR NITRO 28DK5 Toy Hauler Fifth Wheel. Would your Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Ram Prep Package - 21K Item DM89GV be a good 5th wheel hitch for me? Thanks

The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM89GV is an excellent choice for your 2024 Ram 3500 with the factory hitch prep. I prefer it as it can automatically slide back up to 14" as you turn so you do not have to manually get out of your truck to move the hitch like other sliding 5th wheel hitches require. It is also easy to take in and out of your bed since it uses the factory mounting points.

Do understand if any of your 5th wheels have a cushioned pin box you are likely going to need an adapter to ensure the pin box stays secured in the head.
