So I am looking at picking up a Ram 5500 for my sleds. It has a hauler bed on it but that doesnt work well for me with the trough. I want to be able to pull my goosneck up to the cab then load the sleds up on the flatbed and take them to the trail head. So I am looking for a bed that I can adapt ramps to and also has the hatch for the gooseneck. Anyone have anything like that?

Thanks!IMG_0151.jpeg

You could have a filler panel made out of aluminum or something to fill in the trough for when you want to haul the sleds. You could keep it in the trailer when hooked to the trailer. Not sure of the best thing to do with the ramps while hauling the sleds?!?

I cut down my sled deck for my single wheel cab and chassis flatbed. This gave me a spot for the ramp, expandable sides for when I haul the sleds and I can swap it back to a regular flatbed easily. This obviously wouldn't work for you wanting to tow a gooseneck trailer but it worked out pretty good for me last year.
