OE Puck System

Expert Take

A 20K M5 set up for RAM's factory puck system on 2500/3500 trucks, dropping in without bed rails. The dual-jaw head tows quietly and the capacity suits the bulk of fifth wheels out there, a smart everyday pick for RAM owners.

About This Product

The Demco M5 20K for this truck configuration brings their self-aligning head design. The funnel-shaped opening guides your kingpin into position even when you are not lined up perfectly. Twenty thousand pounds of capacity handles most fifth wheels.

If you have struggled with hookups on other hitches, the M5 design makes a real difference. Back up close and the geometry does the alignment work. Less backing and adjusting, less frustration.

The head pivots smoothly and the jaws lock solid. Simple handle mechanism. Removable when you want your bed back.

Demco has been building RV equipment for decades. The M5 line is designed around making towing easier, starting with hookups that work even when conditions are not perfect.

Match the mounting base to your truck setup - different bases for different puck systems. The M5 head is the same, just paired with the right base.

9.0 /10 Stupid Simple Score

This is the benchmark 25K puck-mount Companion that every other fifth wheel gets measured against. It drops into factory pucks, pops out with a lever when you want your bed back, and tows dead quiet thanks to the cushioned, fully-articulating head.

24K SuperGlide

8.8 /10 Stupid Simple Score

The 24K SuperGlide is the gold standard for short-bed trucks, automatically sliding the hitch back when you turn so the trailer clears the cab without you touching a thing. It drops into factory pucks and tows incredibly smooth; the auto-slide mechanism is the trade you make on a slightly fussier install.

A 20K sliding Companion aimed at short-bed owners who need extra turning clearance between cab and trailer. The slider adds a step at install and a manual move before sharp turns, but the head still tows cushioned and quiet.
