• 5th Wheel Hitch Installation Kit for 2016 Ram 3500 Without Factory Rail Kit and With Air Suspension
  The air suspension package in the 2016 Ram 3500 6-foot short bed makes 5th wheel hitch installation tough due to clearance issues, but I checked with my technical contact at B&W and they can offer a solution for a slider hitch installation.

• Which 5th Wheel Bed Rail Mounting Bracket for Demco Autoslide on 2013 Dodge Ram 2500
  What brand of bed rails do you have? It's recommended to use bed rails and frame brackets from the same manufacturer. If you mix manufacturers of rails and brackets, it's possible to have an unknown weight capacity which isn't a good thing. If you have Curt bed rails, I'd use # CU96FR For Reese, use # RP56011 For Demco, use # DM8552015 B & W doesn't sell their brackets separately, they must be purchased with the bed rails. Their rail/bracket kit is part # BWRVK2605.

• Weight of B&W Patriot 16K 5th Wheel Hitch BWRVK3200
  If you intend to purchase a 5th wheel trailer that has a Revolution or Sidewinder pivoting pin box for use with your 2013 Ram 2500 short bed then you will not need a sliding-type hitch and can use a fixed hitch of your preference. However, the excellent B&W Companion 20K hitch # BWRVK3500-5W, which mounts using the gooseneck install kit # BWGNRK1313-5W, is not compatible with any type of pivoting pin box. You are correct that B&W makes a serious product. Their 5th wheel hitches are produced...

• Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for 2013 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  Either the Curt # C16541 A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch w/ Slider with its 20K capacity or the 20K Capacity B&W BWRVK3270 Patriot Sliding Fifth wheel hitch would be a great choice. Both hitches are high quality, and would offer you a secure, relatively smooth ride. For the Curt hitch, use the # C16430-204 rail kit or for the B&W Patriot, use # BWRVK2605. My only issue with bed rail mounted hitches is the fact that the rails remain in the bed when you're not using the hitch. If you don't use the...

• Can The Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 Be Used In Reverse
  Yes, per Curt the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 can be positioned over the axle or for a 3 inch rearward offset.

• Will Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch Work on 2016 Ram 3500 with RamBox
  I do have an option for you but the issue with the RamBox is that the pin box will hit the bedsides when tuning which is why you need to move the pivot point back further towards the tail gate. Therefore, you only option for fifth wheel towing involves a stationary hitch and rotating pin box. There is no way to lock the pivot point using the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C86JR so this won't work. Instead, I recommend the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 3500 with Short Bed to Tow Grand Design Solitude 310GK
  I'll start by saying that because you have a short bed truck, you will need a sliding hitch in order to make sure that you can safely turn while towing your 5th wheel trailer and not create contact between the nose of your trailer and the cab of your truck. You can also accomplish this by going with a Sidewinder style pin box like the Reese # RP34FR, but I typically only recommend those on truck beds shorter than 6-ft or 5th wheel trailers with extremely protruding noses. If your 2019...

• Will a B&W Companion for the Ram Prep Package Work with Rotating Pin Boxes and my Ram Box Bed?
  To keep your fifth wheel from hitting the bed rail sides or Ram Boxes you are going to get that clearance from where the pin box is mounted in the wing plates on the camper itself you can raise or lower it to achieve the clearance you need for those Ram Boxes. You can also adjust your head in the Companion upwards by changing where the pivot arms are bolted in (see video below) at the 1:50 mark. We recommend at least 4" if not closer to 6 or 7" of clearance. If your are close to the 4"...

• Best Option For 5th Wheel Hitch, 2019 Ram 3500 With B&W Turnoverball Already Installed
  While the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # BWRVK2605 is the correct kit for your 2019 Ram 3500, it will not fit with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # BWGNRK1320 that you already have installed. They each mount using the same hole locations. I recommend you use the B&W Turnoverball set up and add the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3500-5W.

• Fifth Wheel Towing with 2016 Ram 3500 Equipped with Ram Boxes
  The problem isn't with the hitch fitting, the problems are that the 5th wheel's pin box strikes the sides of the bed during turns. The only way a fifth wheel hitch can be used in a Ram Box equipped truck would be to use a Reese Sidewinder. The sidewinder moves the pivot between the trailer and the hitch from where the king pin and hitch jaws meet to where the pin box attaches to the 5th wheel. This moves the pivot point 22 inches rearward, preventing the pin box from hitting the sides of...

  Yes, you can replace a Curt Rota-Flex 1621 Pin Box item # LC328329 with a rotating turret. Since you have a 2021 Ram 3500 w/ Ramboxes this is the only way you will be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer.
