    Can you still open/use the Rambox on dodge trucks with a fifth wheel hooked up? Also does a hard foldable tonneau cover work with a fifth wheel hitch?

    Fifth wheel hitch.

    Looking at going to a 5er from a TT. Need to install a hitch in my 2011 f350 6 1/2 box, srw. Looking at the Curt A16 with the R16 roller. Anybody using this hitch. If so I could use some pros and cons. I'm guessing the new 5er will be between 11 to 14k.
