What Rail Kit Does B and W Companion Hitch for Ram Rail Kit Fit
Question:
Thanks for the follow-up. I’m purchasing a 2017 Ram 3500 dually Long bed that is not fitted with a gooseneck hitch receiver. Nor is it equipped with the OEM prep puck system for 5th wheel towing. I want to install my B&W hitch (model RVB3500) on this truck. What gooseneck receiver unit will match this application?

Expert Reply:
The Companion hitch part # BWRVK3670 that is in the question you mentioned only fits the OEM rail kit that Ram/Dodge would have put in the truck. If the truck ends up having a different brand gooseneck hitch you'd have to go a different route but that would depend on what brand hitch it is.
