Anderson Ultimate 3200 (Universal Rail Mount)
Ok folks, here goes... To a small degree, I screwed up. When I bought my Ram in October I didn't get the factory 5th wheel package PUC system. I wanted it, but the truck I got was exactly what I was ...

A few questions about the Anderson.
1. Does anyone use one with a short bed? If so, how are your clearances? My 5th is a 2011 and has the rounded front corners.
2. Is the 3200 as stable and quiet as the ball mounted version?
3. Any other pro's or con's to the hitch?
I use the Andersen Aluminum Ultimate that connects to my goose ball. 2014 RAM 3500 4x4 Crew Cab with short bed (6'4") and factory puck system. I have no problems with clearance of my 2016 Big Horn 5th wheel with rounded front corners.
This is the only hitch I have used with a 5th wheel so I can't compare. But I do like the way it connects and tows. There is no slop or play or chucking that some 5th wheel users describe with their hitches.
My Aluminum Ultimate hitch only weighs 32 lbs. and it is is easy to install and remove.
I am using safety chains with mine.
The only downside is the dealer broke the cable that latches the ball in place when I left it for some warranty repairs. I recommend you remove the kingpin adapter if you leave your trailer at a dealer or repair facility. The dealer uses a tractor with goose ball that is on a frame that keeps getting snagged on the cable.
