Craving more than standard power? The new 2021 Ram 3500 can be fitted with several different packages to ramp up its capabilities even further - enabling BC drivers to maximize their trailering options. Let us focus on the 20K Fifth-Wheel Hitch upgrade.
Â
Mounted to the truck’s bed, this feature comes with an interlocking 2-jaw system that provides jaw-to-king-pin contact at a full 360-degrees. This results in less rattling and more security than with conventional slide-bar units.
Â
The 3-Point Indicator System is colour coded, which helps you to know what stage your hitch is at. These correspond with the following: Red - Uncoupled; Yellow - Coupled, and Green - Tow. To make things even easier, the lock indicators can be viewed from the comfort of the cabin. You don’t have to get out or have a second person check on it.
Â
Next, the articulating torsion head provides a more stable ride. It aligns on its own for a quick hook-up, and it both suppresses road shock and reduces noise pollution. There is even a single-throw operation locking handle that can be paired with a padlock for added safety. Finally, this component is made from sturdy steel with a carbide powder finish for enhanced durability.
