I'm pulling a 38' 11, 000# 4 slide 5er with my 3:73's. It does better than expected coming from a dmax. Granted, I'm not conquering the Ike gauntlet, but I'm impressed..
Did your truck come with the fifth wheel / goose neck prep package? If so what did you need to buy to install the hitch? Can you post some pics an part numbers for the hitch and install? Mine came with the package and I know there is some sort of kit you need along with the hitch.
Thanks
In looking things over I'm thinking the Curt 20K it appears that I just screw it down to the 4 pucks I should already have in my truck and when not installed nothing left behind. I have a 3500 DRW with fifth wheel prep pkg, not to sound naïve as my truck currently came with a bed liner, am I correct in assuming I already have the pucks?

That thing is sweet! What is your pin weight on that monster?
What is your payload #? Your truck looks similarly optioned to one I'm interested in.
Did you cut the holes in the bed yourself or have a shop do it?
Pin wt is a tad over 2k. Per the door sticker, I have just shy of 4100# of payload.
I cut the holes myself. Install was rather easy.
Btw, the 2500 puck system is different than the 3500. My dealer ordered one for a 2500. Neither of us knew they were different till I got home and tried to install it. Mine was the first kit he had ordered, so I didn't bust on him too bad...
Mowin, isn't the GVWR of the 3500 something like 11,300? Giving you roughly 4,000 pounds of pay load?
my 2500 has a GVWR of 10,000 with a dry weight of just under 7,000 giving me 3,000 +/-...
My campers pin weight is just under 2,000 pounds...
way off topic, what type of hitch are you using? any sort of slider?
