2014 Dodge Ram Fifth Wheel Prep Option?
Has anyone ordered a 2014 Ram with the 5th wheel prep option? If so, what did you need to do to install your hitch? Do any hitches actually just line up with the pre-drilled holes? Dealer is having...

Just curious what hitch did they not have? I found my dealer and dodge themselves were useless when trying to figure out the hitch in my truck. Once I did some leg work on what was working in the real world I got the reese adapter and my reese hitch dropped right in. I am not sure how the goose neck works as I don't have one, but to my knowledge it should drop right in
We ordered our truck July 13th, 2013 with a Reese Hitch. We were notified 8 weeks later, they could not get a Reese Hitch. We called Reese and they told us that their hitch for the 2014 Rams would not be available til early 2014
I certainly wouldn't purchase a hitch from Dodge or Mopar, their prices are ridiculous..you would get it cheaper at Camping World...best place to go is a hitch installer....Almost ANY conventional hitch that sets on rails will work with the picture frame adapter....
The price from Dodge for the Mopar Curt Hitch was the same as the Reese. Do keep in mind that as part of our deal with them, they were going to purchase and install our hitch among other things
Originally they quoted a price of $500.00 just for the adapter, but then after checking with the parts dept. who in turn called dodge ect. they tried to hit me with a bunch more money, as I had already worked it into the deal that the dealership was buying the bracket, I made some extra calls and spoke with reese themselves, who assured me there bracket would work in my truck and with my existing hitch I ordered through my camper dealer/hitch installer, had it in two days and installed it in the parking lot:W
While Reese didn't have the hitch for our 2014, they did have the picture frame. That was sent to our dealer and was installed by them when our truck arrived. Hugs, Di
So it sounds like Reese will soon have a hitch that mounts directly into the 4 factory prep holes, thereby not having to go with the picture frame adapter?
Does anyone know if a pullrite superglide or other auto slider will fit on the picture frame? I would assume they would fit fine?
