Dutch & Di,
Believe we may be talking about two different things. I have the 5er/GN prep package in my truck...I needed a picture frame adapter to mount my Reese 20K Signature hitch...MOPAR was very slow in getting the picture frame adapter to the market, and at that time, were the only manufacturers of the picture frame adapter, (we're talking from the time the 13's came out, until late 13'...now Reese also makes the "picture frame adapter"...THAT is what I was talking about. I got a picture frame adapter and then attached my Reese 20K Signature hitch to the picture frame adapter, which attached into the cam locks in the bed of y truck. I already had a 5er hitch I wanted to use. I believe you may be talking about a hitch that COMES with the leg's of the hitch configured to mount into the 5er/GN prep package that can be ordered on the truck, bypassing the purchase of a picture frame adapter. If that's the case, you are right, Reese is still working on that one, but if not mistaken, either B&W or Curt one, (can't remember which), DO have a 5er hitch that comes with the legs that will lock into the prep package like the picture frame adapter would.
NC, did you run into any problems with the height of the hitch being an issue with the height of the Ram's bed rails? I've heard they're higher on the Rams, but I'm not sure. I also have a 20K Reese (not sure what model) that I really like, so keeping it and saving the money would be a plus. On top of that, it's only a couple of years old.
