I Own A 2017 Ram 2500 with No Factory Installed Puck System Do You Sell An Aftermarket System?
Question:
I am interested in puck style fifth Wheel hitches. I have a 2017 ram 2500 with no factory installed puck system. Do you sell kits with instruction for installing puck systems?

The factory puck system that was available for your 2017 Ram 2500 is integrated into the frame and cannot be installed as an aftermarket part. There are some underbed mounted fifth wheel hitch install kits but as of right now none of them install a puck system. The only underbed kit available for your Ram is the B&W, part # BWGNRK1384-5W, that uses the B&W companion hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W. (I have a picture attached that will show how this will look installed on your bed.)
The Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1384-5W is better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.
The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3400-5W, mounts in your truck bed so you can tow your 5th-wheel trailer. It features a rail-free design allows for full access to truck bed when hitch is removed and a 2-Piece design for simple setup and removal.
The benefit of having a built-in slider on this 5th-wheel hitch helps eliminate clearance concerns during slow-speed turns. Without the slider the trailer can strike the cab on sharp turns. The slider is only needed on short bed trucks. If you have a long bed then a fixed hitch is needed # BWRVK3500-5W.
I have product videos on both these items attached to this help page.

You can add the Ram 5th wheel package to your truck. I did it to my 2017 Ram 2500.
