Options on hitching a 5th wheel
Currently have 2016 ram 3500 cc lb TD 4x4. Truck has no prep . What sort of options do I have? Do I need to know what specific trailer I'm hooking? I'm planning on a 5th in the 12,000-16000 gross rang...

We have a 2016 3500 Ram CC turbo diesel short bed. We are currently towing a 2017 42' Sierra 377FLIK. Comes in around 16.5K
We are using the Reese Professional series 20K slider hitch with the bed rails. Our truck isn't used for anything else except towing the 5er. Which I have to say does an excellent job of it.
When connected the truck squats down about 3 inches but the trailer itself sits level. We only have about 4 inches between the bed rails and the bottom of the 5er. Had one issue with is when we had our bedcover rails on but now they are gone. But as stated before the trucks sit high.
We can put our tailgate down but we aren't thing enough to walk through after that. Haha
