What is Needed to Convert B&W Companion Slider to Fixed Hitch in 2022 Ram 3500 w/ Prep Package
Question:
I currently have a 2017 Ram 2500 S/B with a BandW Turnover Ball g/n hitch and a BandW Companion Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch. I’m buying a 2022 Ram 3500 L/B with the factory gooseneck and Fifth wheel prep package. What do I need to transfer this fifth wheel hitch to the new truck?
