2014 Dodge Ram Fifth Wheel Prep Option?
Has anyone ordered a 2014 Ram with the 5th wheel prep option? If so, what did you need to do to install your hitch? Do any hitches actually just line up with the pre-drilled holes? Dealer is having...

I just got one of these from this dealer. When you call and make your order ask if they can put their hands on one and ship it to you. These have been on back order for a couple of months in many places I called.
I called them and had mine in my truck within 3 days. Reasonably priced and nice to deal with.
It took me about 15 minutes to unbox and install it.
Oh, and to answer your question; I don't believe any hitches line up with this prep package.
It's cheaper than the MOPAR picture frame adapter, (what it is called by MOPAR)....you mount your hitch onto it.
Some hitch installers have come up with hitches now that are mounted to rails that fit into and lock down to the 5er/GN prep package. (Reese and Curt, I believe), but if one already has a hitch they want to use, like I did, the picture frame adapter is the way to go.
One thing one should check is to make sure you don't have to make adjustments to the 4 lock downs...I had to adjust two of the four on my adapter...one was too tight to lock down, the other one locked down, but seemed loose to me. If you look at the directions, you are shown how to make the adjustment to ensure your adapter frame is properly locked into the trucks frame.
