I'm going to go look at a new 2015 Dodge 2500 with the 5th wheel hitch prep package. Anybody have any experience with the hitches that fit this truck? Any idea about what they cost?Thanks in advance!!

I am looking at the picture frame adaptor along with the 18K PullRite Superglide. I don't believe that there is an. Automatic slider hitch available that fits right inside the pucks in the bed.

I think you can add a goose neck ball to the prep package. If so, consider the Andersen. http://www.andersenhitches.com/Catalog/ultimate-5th-wheel-connection.aspx The steel one weighs about 75 lbs and the Al one about 32 lbs. Price about $600 to $700, give or take.

In my opinion there is really only one perfect choice, and that is the B&W Companion #RVK 3600. I have a 2014 2500 with air suspension and factory pucks and this thing is incredible. Built like a tank, tons of adjustability, 25,000# rating and lifetime warranty. You can find them online for $1159 from many sources.Click here for full information on hitchMany folks here will vouch for B&W Products. This is a complete kit, no adapter, rails or picture frame mount needed.

I put the B&W in my 2014 3500 and love it. It's around $1200 but worth every penny.

I chose the Curt E16. It breaks down into two easy to remove sections. Cost was around $750 shipped.

I have a 2015 3500 RAM with a Curt. I wonder about getting a 2500 because payload limit, coil springs suspension is limited. That's why I went with a 3500.

I can't let you all be accused of being B&W "Fan Boy's" without me!

IMHO not a better NON air ride hitch out there.

X3 with the B&W. I installed one in a 2014 Ford with the prep package. Took the installer about 30 minutes to put hitch together and install. I've used a number of different bards of 5th wheel hitches and none of them hold a candle to the b&W.

Yup, this is the way I went and couldn't be happier.

It drops right into the factory prep pucks.
