B&W Companion or Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Ram 3500 With Factory Prep Package
Question:
Hi, Is the BandW Companion Slider 5th wheel hitch BWRVK3670 compatible with a Lippert Rota Flex pin box? Have a 2020 Ram 3500 Mega Cab and purchasing a Keystone Impact toy hauler that comes with that pin box - trying to choose between this hitch and the Demco Highjacker... Thanks!

To answer your first question, yes, the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3670 is absolutely compatible with a Trailair Rota-Flex pin box. And the Companion is definitely the option I recommend for your 2020 Ram 3500, and there are a couple of reasons for that.
The first is that the Companion is totally compatible with your truck and Rota-Flex pin box as it comes. However, if you were to get the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 (18,000 lbs) or # DM8550035 (21,000 lbs), you would only be able to install it in your 2020 Ram 3500 with the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6099 and would also need the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171.
On top of that, the B&W Companion is considered by many to be the preeminent fifth wheel hitch in the industry because of its immense jaws and cushioned bushings, which provide you the most comfortable and quiet towing experience possible. The jaws on the Companion are 1 inch thick and act like an adhesive to your king pin, which means the noise, rattling, chucking and jarring is heavily minimized with the Companion. The bushings on the Companion are another important factor; they are made of polyurethane which act as cushions that also help absorb noise so you can get to your destination in comfort.
The Hijacker is also a high-quality hitch and its autoslide is very convenient, but the best overall towing experience with your 2020 Ram 3500 is going to happen with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3670.
