Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Ram 3500 6-1/2' Short Bed with OEM Prep
Question:
Good morning, I have a 2020 Ram 3500 Mega Cab dually with a 5inch lift and 37 tires. I am looking for a 5th wheel set up. Can you please recommend a setup that will work with my truck. With the mega cab I have a short bed and with the lift I want to make sure of the proper height.

The best fifth wheel hitch option we have for a 2020 Ram 3500 (6-1/2 Foot Bed with OEM Prep Pkg) is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider part # BWRVK3670. The B&W Companion is largely considered the best hitch in the industry. It has 1" thick dual jaws which form a tight grip on the kingpin and produce a smooth ride. It also has a cam action handle which makes for uncoupling on even terrain possible. It is made right here in the USA.
In regards to the height discrepancy between truck and trailer, you won't be able to do much on the hitch side aside from using the lowest setting on the hitch which is pretty much the same for most options. Therefore, you'll have to lift the trailer in order to compensate for the truck.
