Question:
Hi! I have a 2018 Ram 3500 long bed dually with the Curt gooseneck puck system. I’d like to get the Anderson ultimate hitch, but I’m not sure which rails to get. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out!
If you have a Curt gooseneck hitch installed, then you'll actually need to go with the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AN67VR which secures to your truck bed via the gooseneck hitch ball.
If by gooseneck puck system you mean the OEM pucks for your 2018 Ram 3500, then you can either use the one I mentioned above, or you'll need the Adapter Rails # C29BR in order to use the Anderson Ultimate # AM3200.
Are you interested in the Anderson line of hitches because they are lightweight?

Hey Sam, how did things go with the Andersen Ultimate hitch for your Ram 3500? Did the setup with the gooseneck ball or the adapter rails end up being the better fit? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
