new 3500 ram
I am thinking about buying a 2017 3500 dodge ram. What do I need to do to transfer my hatch over to that truck.

The one thing you may want to keep in mind during your search of various brands and models of 5th wheel hitches, is the height adjustment range. Newer trucks sit higher than old trucks. In some cases this necessitates the need for a hitch that has a lower range of height adjustment to keep the trailer as level as possible. Many 5th wheel hitches will not adjust lower than 16-17 in. Some will go as low as 13". That 3-4" difference in height capability can make a big difference leveling your trailer in some cases.
BTW, if you use a universal mount hitch with a Ram picture frame adapter, the hitch will sit approx 1" - 1 1/4" higher than if the same hitch was mounted to an aftermarket universal rail mount in the same truck.
Good luck!
