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.

24K SuperGlide
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.
