Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Ram 2500 Long Bed with OEM Rail Kit
Question:
Wanting to put in a 5th wheel in this new truck. We get it tomorrow but I need to get the hitch ordered. Will probably go with 20,000 What would you suggest we look at. Been suggestion Curt C16130 with rail package C16427-204. Camper is currently a 28 ft Cougar with a trailer behind it. The other questions ask about a 2019, not the 2020. Thanks

Expert Reply:
For a fifth wheel hitch that fits the OEM rail kit of your 2020 Ram 2500 long bed the best option is the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3600 which has a 25k capacity. This is more than you are wanting but this hitch has the best jaw design which provides a smoother and quiet ride quality, the best build quality, and is easiest to install and remove from truck since it easier breaks down into smaller sections.
I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
