Question:

Hello, I have a dodge ram 2500 and am looking for a 5th wheel hitch. I am looking for a hitch that is easily removable. Do you have something like this?

Hi Adam, we have a some different options but it all depends on your configuration. If you have the 8' bed the easiest to use and remove would be the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550045. This 5th wheel hitch only weighs 100 lbs, 50 lbs for the head and 50 lbs for the base, making it really easy to manage.

If you have the prep package you can use the OEM ball or # RP19311 to mount it. If you don't have the prep package you can install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1320 which will also allow you to use the Recon. If you have a short bed please let me know if you do/do not have the OEM prep package and I will see what the best option is for your setup.

Thank you Robin. I have the 6’ bed and I’m not sure if this truck has tow package. Would the Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch still be the best option?

@Adam with a short bed you are going to need a slider for clearance so that would not be the best option unless you want to use the B&W Companion # BW28QR (this part number includes the gooseneck hitch and the 5th wheel hitch together). This is my favorite 5th wheel hitch, and one you would be really happy with, but it is a heavy sucker. The head is 75 lbs and the base is 207 lbs which is a lot to deal with. If you have the prep package it would be pretty obvious. There will be 4 holes for the puck system and a single larger hole in the center for a gooseneck ball. They may have covers on them.
