Question:
I own a 2022 Ram 2500 crew cab with an 8-foot bed. This is without the puck system. I previously used the My Vehicle feature of the website that listed the correct BandW Patriot 5th wheel hitch and above bed rails, however when I list my vehicle on the website now, it no longer lists the Patriot as a compatible model hitch. Please provide me with the correct item numbers for the Patriot 16K 5th wheel hitch, above bed rails and 7-pin wiring kit. Thank you. -MG

Hey Matthew, since the Blue Ox Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3255 is designed to fit above bed rails all you'd need to install it in your 2022 Ram 2500 is a custom fit set like the Curt part # C16427-204 which are also perfectly compatible with the Patriot hitch since all of the rails in this style are made to the same dimensions.
Then for a 7-way kit the part # 41157 will allow you to add a 7-way up in the bed of your truck for easier access to your trailer.

The link to the Patriot hitch is for the 18K version? What about the 16K version, again for my 2022 Ram 2500 crew cab with 8-foot bed. Thanks, M.G.
