OE Puck System
Expert Take
This 26K KW puck-mount kit fits Ram 2500/3500 with the factory puck system and handles heavy fifth wheels for the money, no rails to wrestle. Materials and the wraparound jaw are dependable workhorse-grade; just expect a bit more chucking than you'd get from a sprung B&W or PullRite head.
About This Product
The Husky 26K KW Series is the heavy-duty version of their rail-mount line. Twenty-six thousand pounds for larger fifth wheels. Same rail-mount flexibility that works across different truck configurations.
Rail mounting means installing rails in your bed first, then the hitch attaches to those. More work than puck systems but you get mounting flexibility - the rails work with any rail-compatible hitch.
Construction reflects the higher capacity with beefier components. Secure jaw grip, height adjustment, durable finish.
Husky makes working hitches for people who tow regularly. Straightforward design without unnecessary complexity.
Good option when you need the capacity and prefer rail mounting over puck systems. Check your truck bed requirements for compatible rail installation.

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.
