My grandpa's Dodge 2500 diesel got written off today, and now he needs a truck to pull his fifth wheel trailer. Luckily enough I just bought a 2006 Duramax earlier this week so I currently have two diesels, so I told him he could have either for the time being. Only problem is both trucks have fifth wheel rails but no hitch, and both are different styles from what my grandpa's truck has, so can't use his current hitch and has to get a different one. Plan on picking up a used one off of Kijiji since hitches are insanely expensive new, but I have no clue what to get.
His Dodge has rails that go length-wise with the bed. My old 06 has rails that go width-wise with the bed, and my new 06 has some sort of weird four (or maybe five?) round hole set up. How do I know what brand of hitch fits the rails? Seems to me the width-wise set up is the most common, but are all width-wise rails universal or are their different sizes and types? I can grab photos later.
Thanks
