Automatic Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch for a 2027 Ram 3500 With Factory Prep  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Hey Christopher, congratulations on the new truck! I recommend the PullRite SuperGlide Fifth Wheel Hitch # PUL28RR for your 2027 Ram 3500. This installs directly into your factory puck system without needing additional rails or adapters. The SuperGlide automatically slides back as you turn, providing up to 18" of travel for extra cab clearance.

You'll also need the PullRite Quick Connect Capture Plate # PUL44ZR for your Lippert Rhino pin box. This prevents the king pin from rotating in the hitch head so the automatic sliding mechanism works properly.

Where are you headed with your 5th wheel once you get everything set up?

One other thing, I'd like to add a retractable tonneau cover so I can keep the SuperGlide covered when we're not towing. Is there one you'd recommend for my short bed?

@Chris I recommend the RetraxPRO MX # RT80232 for your Ram's 6-1/2' bed. It's a retractable hard cover, so you can open it when towing and close it over the SuperGlide when you're not using it. If you think you might add a ladder rack or crossbars later, I'd go with the RetraxPRO XR # RTT-80232 instead. It has built-in T-slot rails for mounting a compatible rack while keeping the retractable cover.
