Question:
Hello, I’m looking for a hitch extender, probably 48” that I can use to get past my lance 861 camper. I need to be able to pull a flatbed trailer with my Tacoma pre runner on it. I have a Ram 2500 with airbags. What’s the heaviest duty set up for this?

Hey Jonah. The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch item # TLD1112-30 and the 48" Long TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1548 is going to be your only option. This setup is going to give you a 6,000 lbs towing capacity that can be increased to 12,000 lbs when used with a weight distributions system.
The TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch item # TLD1112-30 is custom fit for the 2024 Ram 2500's with the factory hitch. It fits both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths. The TorkLift item # TLE1548 is the only 48" extension.
You'll also need the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension for 48" SuperTruss or Cannon Hitch Extender item # TLW6048 so you can plug in your flat bed trailer's 7-way connector.
