Question:
We purchased a 2007 Cherokee 5th wheel and recently purchased a 2014 Dodge 2500 Mega Cab with 6 ft 4 inch box. The truck operates on gas and does not have Ram Boxes and does not have air suspension. The RV dealer says there is no option for a slider hitch for our truck at this time so we are unable to pull our camper. Any suggestions?

Thank you for giving me all the information on your 2014 Ram 2500 that will let me find the correct hitch and install kit.
First let's start with a rail kit. For that you would want the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16427-204. Next for a slider hitch that would allow you to make 90 degree turns you could get the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller # 16516. This is a 16k hitch.
If you need more capacity you would want the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16536 that you referenced.
