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...

Do your self a favor and add the factory prep kit, not a hard or expensive thing to do. then get the B&W RVK3600 hitch and be happy!
WHY the he!! would anyone want rails in a modern truck ???
So I can only imagine he is referring to my pictures and why I would use rails.
Simple easy to install, and as I stated above........
We don't use the truck except to pull our 5er
So how clean our bed looks doesn't matter to us. The hitch never comes out.
A year and a half never taken out. Our last truck 4 years never taken out.
You don't care for it oh well.
And the rails made a really nice mounting spot for my compressor and air tank.
My point is why not have your hitch mount directly to the frame? The cost of your system VS the OE prep, I would guess the OE is less money with the B&W puck mount slider. Just me I would not want compressor mounted above. I had mine on last truck below and it stayed nice and clean.
Looks like a nice job but not what "I" would do. Nice to have choices!
