B and W Companion Hitch and Sidewinder Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 3500 with Hitch Prep
Question:
Will the BWRVK3600 hitch work in a 2015 Ram 3500 with a 6foot bed and the factory fifth wheel prep package. I know it will fit, I am more curious if I need to have a slider hitch.

The B and W Companion part # BWRVK3600 will fit the factory rail kit you have installed in your 2015 Ram 3500. Since you have a short bed truck you are going to also need to install a Sidewinder pin box on your trailer to allow you to make tight turns.
You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
