Dodge 5th wheel prep

Yeah but I am about to buy a new truck and don't want something I can't get a hitch for. Then it was pointless to get dually if cant pull anything with it bc a hitch is unavailable.

I'm being forced to wait it out anyway since my truck has been sitting in "Production Scheduled" status for over 3 months.

There's is currently no aftermarket hitch that will fit directly into the factory holes. Ram supposedly has some adapter rails that will accommodate aftermarket hitches but it seems they are on extended back order.

I spoke with Curt Manufacturing and was told they will eventually work on a Ram-specific hitch but it won't be soon. Reese will probably come out with one too but that's not soon enough for guys who already have their trucks.

Very disappointed in the way Ram has handled the release of the '13s. Not having the adapter rails available at release is also very shortsighted on their part.

It will all get sorted out eventually and the bad feelings will subside.

B & W is currently working on one also. Right now I believe Andersen has one to fit the GN hole.

I would wait for the B&W !

I am wondering about the dodge. I am looking at a new truck and most have the prep package.

What's all involved with the Dodge 5th wheel prep package?
