Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ram 2500 with Rail Kit for Use with Sidewinder
Question:
Im new at 5th wheeling and need to know what combination works for a sidewinder king pin. I have a RAM 2500 shortbed truck. I need a hitch that will be compatible to the sidewinder, will allow clearance to bed-rails for rough terrain and allow for ease of hookup when unlevel or not square. What is your recommended setup?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You will want the B and W Companion Hitch part # BWRVK3600. This will fit directly to the fifth wheel rail kit of your 2016 Ram 2500 short bed, is considered by most to be the nicest fifth wheel hitch around, and will work well with a Sidewinder pin box.
You will want to also use the wedge part # SWW-06.
I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well.
