Fit of Husky 5th Wheel Hitch in Reese # RP30154 Picture Frame Adapter on 2013 Ram w/ Tow Prep Pkg

Published 09/26/2014

Question:

I have a 2013 ram 3500 long bed dually with the factory towing prep package and the reese adapter frame for the towing prep package. Will this 26k husky 5th wheel fit the reese picture frame? Does it just set in the groves on the reese picture frameinch and pin or bolt in?

Since Husky fifth wheel hitches are compatible with Industry Standard fifth wheel rails, it would work just fine with a Reese 5th Wheel Adapter, # RP30154 installed in your 2013 Ram.

The Husky 5th wheel hitch would pin or bolt in place using the existing slots in the picture frame adapter, depending on the trailer weight. The frame adapter has a 25K capacity, and the heavy-duty anchor bolts included with the adapter need to be used if the trailer weighs more than 20K (instead of the standard pins).
