We ordered a Reese Hitch when we ordered our 2014 truck because that is what we had in our 96 Dodge.
Unfortunately Reese said they would have a hitch til 2014. Dodge suggested we purchase the Chrysler Curt Hitch. The found out that it would not "fit" so they ordered a Reese picture frame which did fit into the truck beds bolt holes. Go figure. Reese had a picture frame but no hitch. We had to do some modifications ourselves afterwards to take care of the "clunking" that we had when starting out or stopping but all is well now. Hope this helps. Hugs, Di

This doesn't make a lot of sense>>>I have a MOPAR picture frame adapter that drops into my 5er/GN prep package....the Reese picture frame adapter is IDENTICAL to the MOPAR picture frame adapter and just about ANY conventional Reese 5th wheel hitch will drop right into the adapter. My Reese 20K Signature hitch fit into the adpater and locked down. I got a buddy who has a 13' 3500 SRW hitch with picture frame adapter and he put his Reese 16 K hitch on the picture frame adapter.....Unless Reese is just running low on hitches??? It makes no sense that they don't have a hitch that will mount onto the adapter..
