Looks like a Reese airborne sidewinder pinbox on the 5th ...need to find a hitch that fits..
I don't like the idea of changing the pinbox as I have a. Fiberglass or some such material shroud molded over my factory pinbox...
Maybe it's a sign...wait for another deal...
The fiberglas cover over the factory pin box is just held on with some screws, ez to remove. The Sidewinder is a very good choice. If you don't go that route, the cover would still need to be removed anyway as it makes contact with the truck bed sides even before the factory pin box hits. I don't think the cover does much good, more looks than aero benefit.
As for the hitch latch handle, on some hitches it can be shortened and/or re-drilled to change the angle so it clears the narrower bed width of the Rambox.
Another option would be the Andersen Ultimate, it won't give you the clearance of the Sidewinder, but no handle issues.
My utility bed is narrow like the Rambox, but with it's low height the back of the pin box swings over the top of the utility bed.
