Hello Cory,
If only the truck manufacturers would use the same OEM Prep Package layout, you would not be in this predicament.
You’ve got a couple of ways to install the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16180 in your 2024 Ram 2500 with the factory OEM Prep Package. You and your wife look like such lovely people, so it pains me to say that is indeed going to cost you a pretty penny.....
One option is to use the Adapter Rails # C29BR, which drop right into the factory pucks and give you standard ISR mounting points. Just keep in mind that this setup will raise the hitch about 2 inches, so you’ll probably need to lower the hitch height to keep your trailer level.
The other option is to swap out your current ISR base # C16907 for the Ram-specific Base # C16021. That’ll let you mount the hitch directly into the factory puck system. In that case, you’d be using the Curt A25 # C16046, which is made specifically for the Ram’s factory setup.
I am so sorry there is not a more cost effective option to get it to work in your 2024 Ram 2500.
Sounds like you have been doing this for a while with all your different set-ups... what has been your most memorable trip to date? Where did you go, what did you see?
