OE Puck System
Expert Take
A 27K M5 keyed to RAM's puck system, so it lifts in and out by hand once seated. The dual-jaw head keeps the kingpin snug and chucking low, a strong all-around pick for RAM 2500/3500 owners hauling a heavier rig.
About This Product
This fifth wheel hitch drops directly into factory OE pucks. No adapter needed. If your truck came with the fifth wheel prep package, you have pucks in your bed ready to accept this hitch.
The head shape does alignment work that other hitches leave to you. Back up close and the kingpin finds its way in. This matters especially when you are solo without a spotter.
Construction matches the heavier rating with beefier components throughout. Same smooth pivoting head, same reliable jaw mechanism.
Match the mounting base to your truck configuration. Demco offers different bases for different setups. The M5 head works with any of them.
If you need the capacity and want easy hookups, this delivers both. The self-aligning feature works especially well for frequent towers who have tried other hitches and gotten tired of fighting for perfect alignment.

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.
