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...

Deerslayer may be right, but I thought I had seen several Reese "prototype" conventional 5th wheel hitches with wide legs on them that will fit into the 4 cam lock holes that the picture frame adapter drops into, but maybe I'm wrong.....I know that I saw where someone (yeah, very vague I know), that had pictures of this type hitch, legs came down even like on a normal 5er hitch, then spead out...kind of strange looking, but the hitch was designed to drop into the 4 outside cam lock holes that the 5erGN prep package offers.
As stated earlier, the picture frame adapter either made by Mopar or Reese (cheaper cost), fit's into the 4 outside cam lock holes, THEN you put your 5th wheel hitch onto the picture frame adapter and locks it into place..There are quite a few "conventional" 5th wheel hitches that will work with this adapter...I wouldn't buy it OR a hitch from Mopar, their prices are ridiculous. One could save $200 easily by purchasing picture frame adapter from Reese....If one doesn't have a 5er hitch yet, go to a reputable hitch/installer. Heck, you could probably get a hitch cheaper at Camping World than Mopar/Chrysler
